How do you turn off these firework animations
0:03
that keep playing on your Mac when you're on a video call? I'm gonna show you how

You might be inclined to look in Zoom or FaceTime settings, but you actually wanna look at this green button here
0:13
in the menu bar. Click on that, and then you wanna tap Reactions
0:18
Make sure that icon is gray, and then you've turned off those automatic reactions

While you're in here though, you might wanna take a look at some of the other effects. Portrait will turn on this blur effect in the background
0:30
and it uses the processing power of your iPhone to make sure it's more accurate
0:33
than the feature that comes built into Zoom or Skype. And Studio Light will automatically dim the background
0:39
and brighten your face so that it looks like you have a ring light on your desk
