Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp has unveiled two new features for video calls. WhatsApp users will be able to add filters and backgrounds to make video calls even more engaging. “With these new effects, you can now change your background or add a filter during a video call for a more personal touch,” said the company in a blog post.
According to Meta, filters are designed to help users create a more playful atmosphere or give an artistic feel to videos. Like other video call platforms—Zoom, Teams, Meet—now WhatsApp will also allow users to change the background. Be it a coffee shop or a comfortable living room for a more clean and polished look.
Users can choose from 10 filters and 10 backgrounds to create a wide range of options to create a unique look. Filter options include warm, cool, black & white, light leak, dreamy, prism light, fisheye, vintage TV, frosted glass, and duo tone. Background options include Blur, Living Room, Office, Cafe, Pebbles, Foodie, Smoosh, Beach, Sunset, Celebration, and Forest.
“We’re also adding touch-up and low-light options that can help you feel more confident and comfortable by naturally enhancing the look and brightness of your environment, making your video calls more vibrant and enjoyable,” said WhatsApp in a blog post.
