Until now, video chatting on Messenger has been pretty bare-bones. Recently, Facebook added several features to amp up the fun factor.
These new tools allow you to add animated reactions, filters, masks, and effects to video chats, and take screenshots of your chats.
Here are a few pro-tips for using the new video chatting features:
Emojis — When you add emojis to animate on your video screen, watch closely! The effects change depending on whether your face is on or off screen.
Filters — Not sure if you look good? Test the filter before letting others see it.
Masks — Some of the masks have hidden effects when you move. Try opening your mouth with the rabbit mask…
For Messenger video chat users, the new emojis, masks, and filters should inspire some laughs from friends and family. For business, they will make your interaction way more personal. Perfect for connecting to millennials, it needs to be used with care with the rest of your audience.
