Beauty Filter for Zoom on Windows and Mac
Zoom's built-in “Touch up my appearance” barely does anything. CiCi Cam adds a real beauty layer — skin smoothing, brightness, light makeup, and face refinement — that shows up in Zoom as a regular camera. No Zoom plugin, no marketplace install.
Why the default setup falls short
Zoom's built-in beauty filter is too weak
The “Touch up my appearance” slider applies one soft-blur pass. It can't handle dim rooms, mixed light, or anyone who wants real makeup or face-shape controls.
Your home lighting makes you look tired
Most home offices have flat overhead light. On a Zoom call that reads as gray skin and dark eye sockets, even on a 1080p camera.
You don't want to install a streaming stack
Tools built for OBS streamers are overkill for a 9 AM standup. You want one virtual camera that quietly improves how you look — and nothing else.
How the setup works
- 1
Install CiCi Cam on Windows or Mac
Download from the homepage and run the installer. CiCi Cam registers itself as a system-wide virtual camera you can select inside Zoom.
- 2
Pick your real webcam as the source
Open CiCi Cam, choose your physical camera in the source dropdown. The app applies the beauty pipeline in real time and pushes the cleaned feed to the virtual camera output.
- 3
Adjust smoothing, lighting, makeup, and shape
Use light smoothing and facial soft light first; add subtle eye, lip, or blush makeup; finish with a filter that matches your room lighting.
- 4
In Zoom, switch your camera to CiCi Cam
Zoom → Settings → Video → Camera dropdown → select “CiCi Cam.” Your enhanced feed shows up in the preview and on every Zoom call from then on.
