hello it's ricardo and welcome back to more fun with google meat and filters as you can see i've
got a great filter applied to my face now by snap inc the company that indeed make snapcam
and i'm going to show you how to put this filter on so you can have some fun with google meet
how to install snapcam and how to get snapcam working with google meet as well so you
too can have some fun in meetings in virtual classrooms and have some fun with your friends
now what you want to be doing to get this software is get yourself the snapcamera.snapchat
and you get the official snap camera website this will allow you to download
the particular version of snapcam for your pc or mac os device there are some system requirements
that are all stated on the download screen in particular windows 10 64-bit or newer and mac os
10.13 or newer at the moment on as this video is being done it's not available for ios or android
now read the licensing agreement if you're happy with it say you've read the agreement
and agree say you're not a robot put an email account in and download the version for you
once you've downloaded the software of your choice for your platform of choice it's time to
guide yourself through the wizard typical standard windows wizard select your destination do you want
desktop shortcut bang click next it'll install and all you have to do is wait for it to complete
and then select to run the software once you run the software you'll be taken to the next screen
now as you can see i'm in snapcam after it's successfully loaded and at the top featured
section you can see the cartoon style filter by snap inc there are several in there as well that
the community have have created as well you can you know raise your eyebrows turn yourself into
a cat there's lots of other community lenses you can put on you can say you want to work from home
um you can have math equations floating around you you can put your tie on your head
oh my god you can even do some sort of studying filters as well
there's loads that's being created by the community even let's face it
selecting toilet paper you can give yourself a head full of toilet paper anyway
we're here to talk about how to get this working in regards to your meeting software of choice
and getting snapcam set up properly so let's get cracking so first off if you don't see
this you have to go into the settings section of uh snapchat just a little cog wheel up in
the top right hand corner click on that and you'll see your snapcam settings now
to choose your camera i've got several cameras and i've got some xsplit pick your camera of
choice so i'll be using my main camera which is a hd pro webcam c920 it's a 1080 webcam
which is great i'll use that get some good clarity choose your camera resolution and usually given a
few resolutions there as well i'll go for the 1920 by 1080 um frames per second webcam so we'll click
on that and set your microphone and all the rest of it as well and you're good to go click on back
and that's basically what you're going to see and when you start selecting all your different
filters like that's me as anime for example which i think is quite good actually i quite like this
um in fact i'm i'm torn between this one and with that one to be perfectly honest but we're talking
about this one so we're going to stay with this one right so what you see here in snapcam right is
great now what we need to do is get snapcam this feed we're getting here which is taking the image
from your webcam putting it through a filter in snapcam into your conferencing software of choice
whether that be zoom whether that be teams google meet or even sticking it into obs or streamlabs
obs so once you can see this on the screen you know your configuration in snapcam is working now
it's on to the bit of software your conferencing software or streaming software to do the
configuration there so let's go and take a look so here we are in google meet and when i say google
meet we just fired up an old browser got into google meet and just scheduled an ad hoc meeting
now it's one of those things that you're either be part of a meeting part of google classroom
anything like that this will work providing your administrator has not started shutting things down
now google meets like a lot of the tools around have got the option to set new backgrounds whether
it's just a blurry background or set something from the palette you've got on the right hand side
all that being said we're concerned with getting our snapcam footage directly into google meet so
we'll go with a nice color we'll turn our camera on and you can see nothing happens why is that
well i'll tell you we haven't set our camera feed to reflect snapcam so you go into more options
into settings into video and your default camera should be snap camera
you can then set your definition high definition if you want to
be aware it is going to use an awful lot of system resources and there you have it you've got
your snapcam footage directly into google meet or google classroom it's the same thing really
certainly is anyway there you go so how simple could that be
things to remember as well if you've got snapcam open as well at the same time and let's just
size that window a little bit so we can see what's going on real real time in regards to
google meet so we've got a google meet on the left hand side and here we've got our snapcam
you can change the filters how you want to you can type into the search say viking pick a good
viking for example it's got a good beard and a helmet that and it will change dynamically
so what you're seeing in snapcam and what you see in google meet will change instantly as well now
if you want to return your camera feed to normal this is what you do you turn off your camera
you then go down you exit or quit at the snap cam that's what i do anyway and then you go
into your more options into settings into video change the camera back to where it should be
thank you very much all done and then fire up the old camera again
and there you are totally back to normal in the flesh so it were with no filters
on yourself either so there you have it i've been ricardo thanks very much for watching how to use
animation filters and indeed snapcam filters with google meat hope you find it useful hope you have
fun in class see you soon and let me know in the comments how things turned out for you see you
soon
you
