For Microsoft Teams

Beauty Filter for Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams doesn't ship a real beauty filter — and most company-managed installs can't add plugins. CiCi Cam runs as a virtual camera on your own machine, so Teams sees an already-enhanced feed without any IT involvement.

Why the default setup falls short

Teams has no built-in beauty filter

Teams added background effects, but there's no skin smoothing, no lighting correction, no makeup. People joining from poor light look noticeably worse than the same call on Zoom.

IT-managed Teams installs block plugins

Most enterprise Teams policies disable third-party app installs. You need a solution that lives outside Teams entirely.

Back-to-back meetings give no setup time

If your morning is six calls in a row, you can't rebuild a beauty preset every time. You need it stable, persistent, and one-click switchable.

How the setup works

  1. 1

    Install CiCi Cam on your work laptop

    Download the Windows or Mac installer. CiCi Cam runs locally and registers a virtual camera — no Teams admin permissions touched.

  2. 2

    Open CiCi Cam before joining Teams

    Select your physical webcam as the input source. CiCi Cam keeps running in the background through your entire meeting block.

  3. 3

    Build a neutral “meeting” preset

    Lighter smoothing, balanced whitening, subtle facial soft light, and a clean color filter — designed to look professional, not styled.

  4. 4

    In Teams, change your camera device

    Teams → Settings → Devices → Camera → select “CiCi Cam.” Teams will use the enhanced feed for video calls, scheduled meetings, and Live Events.

Frequently asked questions

CiCi Cam doesn't install anything into Teams. It runs locally on your machine and exposes a virtual camera device, the same as a physical webcam would.
