If you’re telling some ghost stories, for instance, you might want some spooky music playing softly in the background.
You’ll soon have four options - auto, low, medium and high - that let you fine tune your audio levels on the call. Zoom’s background noise suppression is being subtly updated, too.
In addition, the company is adding sliders that give you incremental control over the brightness of your shot and how much the app tries to digitally “touch up” your appearance. There will also be some Snapchat-inspired overlays that give you a pirate eyepatch, unicorn horn, Midsommar-esque flowery crown, and more. These include Instagram-style filters with colorful names like Seafoam and Cinnamon. Tired of using virtual backgrounds to spice up your Zoom calls? Fear not: the company is adding a bunch of new features to make your meetings and virtual hangouts a little less dreary.
