Communication app Zoom gets a number of new features, including Snapchat-like filters. The built-in noise reduction is also improved. New ‘responses’ are also added to the service. The functions appear in version 5.2.
Zoom announces the new features on his website. For example, the video communication service gets filters reminiscent of Snapchat lenses. For example, users can apply a pirate filter with an eye patch to their face. Color filters are also available in Zoom. This allows users to color their video stream black and white, for example. Background noise suppression becomes also improved. Users can now choose from multiple levels of noise suppression, where choices were previously more limited.

Also, from now on, users can adjust the intensity of the built-in beauty filter. This feature, referred to by Zoom as’touch up my appearanceis used to smooth users’ skin. Users can also adjust the low light compensation.
Furthermore, the ‘reactions’ function of Zoom gets some new emojis. These emojis can be used to respond during a video call. These emojis are then shown at the top left of a video feed. Users can now also overlay their webcam feed on a presentation.
