Microsoft Has Teamed Up With Snapchat

Microsoft has partnered with Snapchat to add Snapchat Lenses to Microsoft Teams, so now you don’t need to create virtual backgrounds to spice up your Microsoft Teams conversations.

Microsoft Teams is used by 280 million users worldwide.

To use Snapchat lenses, you don’t have to download a separate app or add-on, as Microsoft has integrated Snapchat’s AR lenses right into the video effects section of the Teams client. Microsoft used the Snap Camera SDK Kit to integrate these Snapchat lenses into Teams.

There are 26 Snapchat lenses that allow users to add augmented reality (AR) effects to video chats to bring more natural human interaction to meetings.

Snapchat Lens is a fun and light addition to the world’s leading communications platform. Whether you use it to get to know your coworkers better or express yourself in a new way, Snapchat lenses will surely bring a smile to your work day.

You can select your favorite Snapchat lenses based on video effects in the More Video Effects tab and available in the Filters category.

Currently only available to work customers. You should also be using the current “classic” version of Teams. If you’re using Teams’ personal or educational versions, you won’t be able to access these new Snapchat lenses.
