Key notes

After rolling out what seemingly to be a faster, more energy-efficientTeams 2.0, Microsoft announced that its pearl of teleconferencing app, Teams, is teaming up with Snapchat to integrate its filters with the app.

Over 20 ofSnapchat’s most popular lenseswill be available on Teams “in the coming weeks,” and you can activate them before joining a meeting.

Lenses allow users to add augmented reality (AR) effects to video calls, bringing livelier human interaction to meetings. AR captures and processes information about our physical environment and then overlays it with virtual objects and information, allowing us to see and experience the world in a different way.

Not too long ago, Microsoft brought Camera Kit, Snap Inc’s cross-platform SDK that lets you deliver augmented reality experiences on mobile apps, to the tech giant’s video learning platform Flip, so this won’t be the first time and probably won’t be the last.

Since AR uses cameras, sensors, and displays, which are already built into video conferencing, it is a perfect and seamless fit with Teams.

So, how do Snapchat filters work on Teams, you may ask? Below, you’ll find a guide how to use Snapchat filters in Teams, which we hope will be available in weeks, as Redmond officials promised.
