How to use Snapchat filters in Skype and other apps on Mac

All kinds of camera filters have been with us for a really long time. For the very first time, they probably appeared in the Snapchat application, where, for example, the well-known photo with a dog's face comes from. Gradually, these filters continued to spread, and now you can find them on, for example, Instagram and even Facebook. But the truth is that these filters are practically only available on iPhones and iPads. Of course, this makes sense, since the camera from Instagram or Facebook is not available in macOS. However, there are other apps on Mac that you can use to make video calls – like Skype. If you want to take a shot from the other side of the video call, or if you simply want to make her laugh, then you've come to the right place.

Certain "filters" are already available in Skype. However, these filters are only meant to change the background. You can either blur the background or insert a picture into it, which is useful for example at work or in a cafe. However, you would look in vain for filters directly on your face in Skype. However, there are various apps that you can use to apply these funny filters, such as from Snapchat, to your face. It all works very simply - you set the filter you want to use, then in Skype you switch the video source from the built-in camera to the camera that comes from the application with filters. You can then simply change the filters during the call. One of the many applications that you can use is SnapCamera. As the name suggests, this app offers filters from Snapchat.

It should be noted that you can also choose SnapCamera as a video source in the same way other applications, for example in Zoom, or perhaps Google Hangout. Once you have selected SnapCamera, after changing the filter in the application, it is not necessary to somehow end the call or restart the application - everything works in real time. If you use multiple webcams, it is necessary in the application SnapCamera to perform camera settings, from which the image will be taken. Even though it's not a goddamn great feature, I believe that many users can enjoy the various filters.
