Public Preview of Video Filters Available in Teams Meetings Now

To improve video conversations and meetings, Microsoft Teams has included a number of new video filters in preview. The most recent update to the Microsoft Teams desktop software now allows users to apply frames and styles both before and during meetings in addition to the brightness and soft-focus filters that were previously supported.

“Video filters help Teams users to express their personalities in meetings, bring joy into everyone’s work hours, and reduce/diffuse stress.  As just one example, wrapping up a high-prio discussion, a leader might choose when to lighten the mood with a video filter.”
