Webcam Beauty Filter for Video Calls, in Every App

Two kinds of filter

Built into one app, or built into your camera

In-app filters are settings inside a meeting app. They are free and quick, but each one works only in its own app, offers a switch, one slider, or two levels, and can be missing depending on your plan or your organisation's policy.

A virtual camera sits between your webcam and every app. You set your look once. Zoom, Teams, Meet, Slack, Webex and OBS all receive the same finished picture.

What it adjusts

Rested, not filtered.

Skin, eyes, teeth

Each has its own control. Pores, freckles and expressions stay yours.

Light on your face

Ring light evens a window or lamp to one side, in three strengths.

Change it mid-call

Start from Natural, Polished or Studio and adjust while you talk. No restart.

Questions

Common questions

What is a webcam beauty filter?

Software that retouches the picture from your webcam in real time: it evens skin, softens under-eye shadows, and can brighten eyes and teeth. It runs either inside one app, such as Zoom's "Touch up my appearance", or as a virtual camera that works in every app.

What is a virtual camera?

A virtual camera is software that appears in your computer's camera list like a real webcam. It takes the picture from your physical camera, changes it, and passes the result to any app that lets you choose a camera. ClaraCam is a virtual camera.

Is there a beauty filter that works in Zoom, Teams and Google Meet at once?

Yes. Built-in filters apply only inside their own app. A virtual camera such as ClaraCam applies the same look everywhere, because each app receives video that is already retouched.

Do I need a better webcam to look better on calls?

Not necessarily. Most of what reads as tired on a laptop camera is uneven light and flat color, which software can correct. ClaraCam works with built-in laptop cameras and external webcams.

Does a webcam beauty filter slow down my computer?

ClaraCam runs its models on your computer's graphics hardware and opens your camera only while an app is using it. It needs a Mac with Apple silicon or a PC with Windows 11 24H2 or later.

Does ClaraCam need an NVIDIA graphics card?

No. ClaraCam runs on Apple silicon Macs and on Windows 11 laptops with integrated graphics.

Is there a webcam beauty filter for streaming on Twitch or OBS?

ClaraCam works in OBS as a camera source. If you stream and also want AR lenses and effects, Streamfog, from the same company, is built for streaming.

Is a webcam beauty filter private?

It depends on where the video is processed. ClaraCam processes every frame on your own computer and never uploads your video to ClaraCam.
