How to Add Video Call Effects on a Samsung Galaxy
Covering your background with an image or color is a great way to hide distractions from your video calls, especially professional ones where you don’t want to give off a bad impression just because your room looks less than ideal.
Follow these steps to enable video call effects on your Samsung phone:
Go to Settings > Advanced features, and scroll down to find and toggle on Video call effects. Tap Video call effects. You’ll see several preset background colors that you can select for video calls. For a custom background color, tap the last option and pick your desired color from the color swatches or spectrum and tap Done. To use a custom background image, tap the + icon and select your desired image from the gallery, and tap Done. Your new image is added and selected.
Under the Available apps heading, you’ll see a list of video call apps on your phone that support this feature such as WhatsApp, Google Meet, Zoom, and more. Go ahead and get on a video call with your friends to try it out.
Hide Your Background From Video Calls on Samsung
The video call effects feature on your Samsung phone is a lifesaver if you don’t like the feeling of having people see your background and potentially judge you for it. You can also use it as a great conversation starter when video calling your friends by temporarily setting a funny or bizarre image as your background.
