Microsoft has partnered with Snap to give Teams users access to more than 20 different Snapchat lenses directly in the Teams app. Examples of these lenses include a cat on the head, a sloth on the shoulder, or virtual sunglasses. Perfect for that long and boring meeting.

Users do not need to download any additional app or add-on, but simply activate the effects under video effects directly in Teams. The feature only works with the enterprise version of Teams, so unfortunately students or private users will not be able to access the effects. The effects also only work with the “classic” version of Teams.

How to get started using Snapchat Lenses for Teams

Before your next meeting:

  1. Click “Video Effects”
  2. Then “More Video Effects”
  3. Scroll down in the right pane and select “Snapchat” under the “Filters” category
  4. Scroll down to view all and select your favorite Lens
  5. Click “Join now”
