Step 4: From the same menu, you can enable adjustment for low light as well.

After enabling the touch up option, you will feel the soft skin tones during Zoom video calls.

On Windows

Zoom’s desktop apps have identical interfaces and functions. That said, you can use Zoom’s beauty mode and video filters during live Zoom meetings. Follow the steps below to use beauty mode in Zoom on Windows.

Step 1: Go to Zoom and click the Settings icon.

Step 2: Check the box for Touch up my appearance.

Step 3: You can use the slider and adjust the intensity of the beauty mode.

Step 4: Enable Adjust for low light for improved brightness in the video preview.

You can also use video filters during live Zoom calls. Here’s how.

Step 1: During Zoom video meetings, click on the up arrow beside the Stop Video button and select Choose Video Filter.

Step 2: It will open a dedicated Background & Filters menu.

From here, you can apply Boost, Cinnamon, Sepia, Seafoam, Pride, and more filters to a Zoom call. If you want to enhance the experience, click on Studio Effects at the bottom right and change your Eyebrows, Mustache, Beard, and even Lip color from the side menu.

If you are satisfied with the results, don’t forget to apply to all future meetings toggle at the top. Zoom will remember your changes and use the video filters in all your future Zoom meetings.

If you want to use Zoom beauty mode during the live meeting, click on the upper arrow beside the Stop Video menu and select Video Settings. It will take you to the same menu as we discussed above. From there, you can use touch up appearance and optimize Zoom video for better low-light performance.

Use Beauty Filter in the Zoom App on Mobile

As we mentioned above, the ability to apply beauty mode is also present on Zoom mobile apps. We will use the Zoom iPhone app for demonstration. For Android devices, you must have 3GB or higher RAM, an ARM64 8-core processor, and the Zoom App version 5.3.0 or higher.

Since the Zoom app on iPhone and Android are identical, you can apply the same steps on Android.

Step 1: Open Zoom on iPhone or Android and go to Settings.

Step 2: Go to the Meetings tab.

Step 3: Tap on Touch Up My Appearance. It will open the camera preview.

Step 4: Enable the toggle for Touch Up My Appearance and turn up the slider to see changes.

Zoom video filters are available here, too. To make changes, tap on the More button from the live Zoom meeting and go to the Background and Filters menu.
