Microsoft has partnered up with Snapchat to bring Snapchat filters with the aim of dazzling up Teams video meetings more. This integration adds 26 of Snapchat’s most popular Lenses, among them Bear in Love, Cat on Head, the Sunset Lense, and more.

This new addition has been incorporated into the Microsoft Teams app, as a Teams user you’ll not need to download a separate app or even an add-on to access the Snapchat Lenses. Teams users can find these Snapchat Lenses directly within the video effects section.

Microsoft indicated that:

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.

It is worth noting that this feature is limited to Teams for Work users. What’s more, you should also be running on the “classic” Teams version, rather than the recently launched new Teams client that’s in public preview.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
