Zoom’s Beautify feature is one of its highlights, something that is still unmatched by some other popular video conferencing services. Once you enable it, you can quickly notice the difference, but is there more than meets the eye? Well, let’s take a look.

The ‘Touch Up My Appearance’ option in Zoom is one of the video enhancement features that Zoom offers. Once this feature is activated, Zoom uses a real-time algorithm to identify your face in the visual feed and automatically apply soft focus to it.

Much like a beautification filter on Snapchat or another camera app, the Touch Up My Appearance option makes your skin look smoother with an airbrushed effect without you having to do anything.

And that's all it does.
