Currently, we are only offering animal avatars at this time, but keep an eye out for updates to this feature and new avatars in the future! How to get started with Avatars So while the Avatars feature can tell what is or is not a face, it does not recognize or distinguish between individual faces. This feature does not use facial recognition, which means that it does not identify who you are. Images of your face don’t leave your device when using this feature, and they are not stored or sent to Zoom. When you turn on the Avatars feature during a meeting, Zoom’s technology uses your device’s camera to detect where a face is on the screen and apply the selected avatar effect. They also provide a good middle ground for users who don’t want to appear on camera, but still want to express body language and facial expressions. Avatars are an easy and entertaining way to engage with attendees and create a bit of fun. This fun new feature makes it easy to inject fun into your virtual meetings and webinars and lighten the mood, whether you’re at home, in the office, or in the classroom! Introducing AvatarsĪvailable for Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinars, Avatars replace your appearance with a virtual animal that mirrors your head movements and facial expressions. That’s why we’re excited to announce our latest feature, Avatars!

Our teams at Zoom are always looking for ways to help you connect with others. Video communication is a modern marvel, but creating those magical and spontaneous moments that make in-person interactions so special can be difficult in a virtual setting.
