Meta now lets you make video calls using a cartoon avatar
It’s an open secret that not many people actually like video calling, unless you’re meeting a baby for the first time or something.
Who wants to comb their hair just to answer the phone? Meta has answered our prayers andThe company frames this as a “third option” that rests between an audio-only call and a full video call. You can participate in video conversations, but it’ll be your avatar that the other participants see, leaving you free to wear a luxuriating face mask or to lay in the squalor of an unkempt apartment. The feature’s available now for Messenger and Instagram users.
