Use video effects on Mac
Depending on your Mac model, you may be able to turn on video effects while using an app that captures video. If you have a supported iPhone, you can also use your iPhone as your webcam and turn on video effects.
Open an app that captures video, such as FaceTime.
Click Control Centre
in the menu bar, then click Video Effects.Note: If you don’t see Video Effects, the app doesn’t support them.
Click any of the following:
Portrait: Automatically blurs the background and puts the visual focus on you (available on Mac computers with Apple silicon or if you’re using Continuity Camera with an iPhone XR or later as a camera).
Centre Stage: Helps keep you and anyone else with you in the frame (available on Apple Studio Display, or if you’re using Continuity Camera with an iPhone 11 or later as a camera).
Studio Light: Dims the background and illuminates your face (available if you’re using Continuity Camera with an iPhone 12 or later as a camera).
If you’re using Continuity Camera, you may also be able to turn on Desk View, which mimics an overhead camera and shows a top-down view of your desk. See Use Desk View on Mac.
