Guidelines: Responsible and Effective use of Snapchat Filters in Microsoft Teams

  • Team,

As we adapt to remote work and virtual meetings, finding ways to inject a little fun and creativity into our interactions is essential. With the introduction of Snapchat Filters in Microsoft Teams, we now have the opportunity to add an extra element of joy and humor to our video calls. However, we must maintain professionalism and ensure that these filters enhance, rather than detract from, our work-related discussions.

To help you make the most out of Snapchat Filters in Microsoft Teams, we have established the following guidelines for responsible and effective usage:

Professionalism is key:

  • While the filters are designed to bring joy and humor to our meetings, we must remember that we are still in a professional setting. Please use the filters appropriately and avoid any filters that may be considered offensive, inappropriate, or distracting.

Respect your colleagues:

  • We all have our own preferences and comfort levels when it comes to using filters. Respect the boundaries of your colleagues and avoid using filters that may make others uncomfortable or disrupt the flow of the conversation. It’s best to stick to universally lighthearted and enjoyable filters when in doubt.

Timing is everything:

  • Consider the timing when using filters during meetings. While it’s great to start a meeting with a fun filter to break the ice, please switch to a more neutral or standard appearance once the discussion gets underway. This ensures that the focus remains on the agenda and the work.

Maintain clarity and communication:

  • When using filters, ensure your face and expressions are still visible and easily understandable. Filters should not hinder communication or make it difficult for others to read your facial cues. If a filter obstructs your face or makes it challenging for others to follow your expressions, consider switching to a less obstructive filter or temporarily disabling it.

Use filters in moderation:

  • While filters can add a touch of entertainment, it’s important not to let them overshadow the purpose of the meeting or distract from essential discussions. Use filters thoughtfully, especially during more serious or sensitive conversations, and be mindful of striking a balance between fun and productivity.

Be inclusive:

  • Consider the diversity of our team members and ensure that the filters you choose are inclusive and respectful to everyone. Some filters may be culturally specific or unsuitable for all individuals. Aim for universally enjoyable filters and avoid ones that may inadvertently exclude or offend certain groups.

Adhering to these guidelines can maximize Snapchat Filters in Microsoft Teams while maintaining professionalism, respect, and a collaborative environment. Let the filters enhance our teamwork and creativity without compromising the efficiency and effectiveness of our work-related discussions.

Remember to have fun and enjoy the added element of humor in our virtual meetings!

Best regards,
