A Metaowner of Instagram It’s from Messenger, announced today a new feature that allows users to make video calls using Memojis animated avatars. In practice, it is now possible to video chat with friends and family without showing your face on the screen.
According to the company, the user is not always prepared to appear on camera – either because of messy hair or because he cried when watching an exciting movie.
We’ve all been through a situation like this: one fine day, there’s a last-minute meeting and your hair is in a mess. “bad day”, or you just have puffy eyes following watching your favorite drama series for the tenth time (no judgments). Sometimes we’re just not ready to turn on the camera.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a switch between camera off and camera on so you can feel a little more present on a call?
So they came up with the idea of using avatars as a third option between appearing in the video and turning off the camera. As Avatar da Meta, therefore, it is possible to be present at the call and interact with others; the resource is available for iOS e Android.
Meta also added the Animated Stickers that can be shared on Instagram, Stories, Reels, Facebook comments and private conversations on Messenger and Instagram.
According to Mark Zuckerberg’s company, these stickers show avatars performing various actions, such as waving, dancing or applauding, adding a “fun and useful” element to conversations.
Meta also announced the Social Stickers, which allow a user to tag their friends and create stickers with their avatars. The company’s vision is to make interactions even more engaging and personalized.
In addition to these new features, Meta introduced other improvements related to avatars. The company said it is testing a simpler way to create them on Facebook and WhatsApp.
Now, the user will be able to take a selfie and the platform will suggest avatar options that look like you. From there, it will be possible to customize the avatar to make it more “faithful” to the image of who the person really is.
Finally, in pursuit of greater consistency and a more realistic appearance, Meta announced that it is standardizing the look of avatars across all its platforms. This means they will look similar both in virtual reality (VR) and on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp — no more disproportionately large heads or unrealistic proportions, then.
