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

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
