Snapchat is one of the most popular camera apps in use today, and according to data from Statista, there are around 249 million daily active users worldwide as of October 2020. Snapchat offers tons of fun interactive camera filters that you can share with your friends and post on social media.

With the lockdowns becoming the new norm around the world, people are now spending even more time in front of screens for work, studies, get-togethers, and to hang out with friends.

One of the many applications used for large scale video calls is Zoom; here, we will tell you how to use Snapchat filters on Zoom in just a few simple steps.

Just like it sounds, the Snap camera is an application developed by Snapchat to expand their interactive lens to the desktop space. Almost all filters on the Snapchat mobile are available on Snap camera; this software is designed to be used as a third-party integration in video calls and also comes with features like hotkeys, which can be used to change the lens and take photos during calls.

Using Snap camera is the simplest way to add effects to your Zoom calls as most people will be already familiar with the yellow user interface. And it is much more secure than letting other less known third-party software access your webcam.
