Yesterday, a viral video posted by a US district court in Texas had me laughing so hard that I shared it with many in Twitter, Facebook, Slack, and texts. Now I will share it here for a fun Wednesday laugh, and show you how you too can inject some fun into a meeting.

Be sure to reset your camera before the next person uses your computer and ends up like the lawyer in the YouTube video with a cat filter applied.

You can use the free software Snap Camera (https://snapcamera.snapchat.com/) to apply filters to your live webcam feed that is used by Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack, or other source that uses your webcam. This is the same company behind SnapChat. You can search among the thousands of user created filters. Some are really good, and funny, others are really poor. Be aware, this software is buggy and performance degrading on some filters. I found that after using I had to end task it to be able to use my webcam again without a filter and do not allow this to load automatically with Windows start.

Here I am as a nice plump tabby cat in a Zoom call.

They said “you can be anything when you grow up”
Me “can I be a potato” – yes I can!

Have fun,
