Snapchat allows you to share photos and videos quickly and easily. Since its release, it has become one of the most popular social media platforms among young people. What sets it apart from other messaging apps is that the snaps disappear after they're viewed. In other words, it takes your privacy seriously.
Snapchat's Snap Camera Adds Beauty Filters to Video Calls Snapchat's Snap Camera Is the Beauty Hack You Didn't Know You Were Missing For Video Calls. March 30, 2020 by Jessica Harrington. Here's how to get Snapchat filters for Zoom. So, in order to use Snapchat filters during a Zoom call (or Microsoft Teams, or live streams!), you'll first need to download the Snap Camera app from Snapchat. Just go ahead and click that link, then click the download button.
Aside from that, the app offers several other features. For instance, you can draw with different colors, add captions, play games, tag your location, and more. On top of all that, you can customize your snap with filters and lenses—of course, the effect is different for each of them. Depending on what you're using, you might be able to swap your face with someone or add something to your surroundings.
How to Use Snapchat Filters and Lenses
Want to apply a filter or lens to your snap? It's simply—simply select the one that you want to use from the main screen. Unless you're using one of the default effects, though, you'll have to scan a snapcode first. What are snapcodes? They're pretty much Snapchat's version of a QR code. They let you unlock various filters as well as other things.

If you ask me, the 'mask' looks like something that you'd see in a horror movie. Not like that's a bad thing, though—especially if you're going for the 'demon' look!
10. Flaming Skull Snapcode
Snap Cam Filter
Have you ever seen a flaming skull? No? Well here's your chance to see one up close. You see, this filter will pretty much turn you into one! Start by scanning the snapcode above. Once you've done that, switch to selfie mode and point the camera at your face. That will cause it to turn into a skull!
Pay attention to the top of your head and your eye sockets. See that? Those are flames! That's right, there will be fire coming out from inside your head! How's that for an interesting snap? You have to admit, that's not something that you see on a regular basis. Want to show your friends the flames? The best way to do that is to take a video!
11. Demon Face Snapchat Filter
Not all demons are red with horns—this filter will turn you into a different sort! Once unlocked, the app will automatically switch to selfie mode. Everything will seem normal until you open your mouth! What will happen? The screen will turn black and you'll turn into a fearsome demon!
For one thing, it'll look as if your face is crumbling into bits. That's not all, your eyes and mouth will be replaced by black voids! If anything, that really adds to the creepy factor. On top of all that, everything will be black and white, except for the ember that will be flying around you!
Seemingly out of nowhere, video conferencing app Zoom has rendered pretty much all other forms of communicating obsolete, leaving everyone to wonder about those funny Zoom backgrounds, what's appropriate to wear on top of sweatpants so you don't sacrifice that 'still in bed' feeling, and how much/why/for what reason you should wear makeup (if any) on a video call. For the latter query, Snapchat's Snap Camera beauty filters are your solution. Am I wasting my very expensive makeup and precious makeup wipes for 30 minutes to an hour of grainy screen time when no one can appreciate its true beauty up close? Absolutely f*cking not. Will I download an app that will 'put on' my makeup for me instead? You're damn right I will.
Snap Camera, essentially a desktop version of the Snapchat app, allows you to use your computer's built in camera to chat, livestream, and, of course, try on every hilariously ridiculous filter like you do from your bed at 11 p.m. Just like Snapchat's mobile app or Instagram Stories, Snap Camera is filled with tons of filters (you can even make your own) — including beauty filters. You know, the ones that smooth out your complexion to a near-alarming degree, throw a red lip on you, and place a sky-high length of false lashes on you better than your own hand ever could.
See below for a few examples:
While there are a few beauty-related filter options on the homepage, a quick search for 'makeup' or 'beauty' in the Lenses search bar will bring up several options you can test out for yourself and perhaps even cycle through for all your Zoom hangs. Because yes, you can even sync up your Snap Camera filters with things like Zoom. I don't know how we've gotten here, to this point, as a society, but I'm not mad at this part.
7. Cartoon Face Snapchat Lens

Using Zoom as an example, to incorporate this feature into your video chats, all you need to do is download both the Zoom app and the Snap Camera app on your computer. Have your Snap Camera set to whatever beauty filter you'd like. Then, in Zoom, change the camera associated with the app. In your Zoom settings, simply click the 'Video' tab, and change the 'Camera' from your current one to 'Snap Camera.' You can also toggle which camera you're using mid-video chat by clicking the arrow next to the 'Video' tab at the bottom of the screen. In the Snap Camera app, you can also favorite your go-to filters and set up certain keyboard sequences to toggle between them mid-chat as well.
Here's what this looks like for me:
If Snap Camera could just fully turn me into a real Kardashian, wardrobe, makeup artists, and all, then we'd really be in business. In the meantime, catch me never putting real makeup on again.
