I. Intro

Feishu video meetings offer various effects to enrich the meeting experience. 

Virtual background: You can replace your video meeting background to solve the awkwardness of having a messy background in formal meetings, establish a professional image with a name card in cross-departmental communication, or promote the meeting theme and company culture with a customized background.

Avatar: You can use an avatar to protect your privacy and create a relaxed meeting atmosphere.

Touch-up and filters: You can set filter effects for portraits and freely adjust various parameters.
