Two new filters available for Teams video meetings promise to help participants look their very best. The brightness filter projects a soft light onto the face of participants while the soft-focus (aka Botox) filter reduces the effect of facial wrinkles and cease lines. Although no miracles are promised, the new filters should help everyone look a little better the next time they turn on video during a Teams call.

Thanks @Tony Redmond - this feature is long-awaited.

@Tony Redmond do you know how to turn the filter option on for users? We don't have that option available - followed the steps and not present. Thanks!

I don't have this option. I have downloaded the latest version of Teams today but still no luck. My colleagues have this option but I don't. Is it available on a Macbook Air 2022?

This feature appears to have been removed in the latest Teams (August 2023) ... why would MS do that?

@PhilGreenway Have you looked in Teams settings? That's where the controls seem to be now...

After playing around with the Teams 2.1 client a little more, I think I see the problem. The filters option appears to indicate that No filters are chosen, but if you go to settings (cog wheel)
Settings
You can see the options to control the brightness and soft-focus filters.
Video filters
I think this is because the soft focus and brightness filters are deemed to be basic video settings whereas filters are now more like the Maybelline set (https://office365itpros.com/2023/07/24/maybelline-video-filters/) which are loaded by an app and can therefore be blocked by tenant administrators.

@Tony Redmond Hi, I'm having the same problem and I just don't see anything other than the background option. The filters section is just not there, I have tried it both on the app on my mac computer and on my android phone app.
