I thought #MicrosoftTeams suddenly got a new feature, as when I gave a thumbs up on camera a thumbs up icon appeared. Just turns out that it's a new feature in #macOS tapping into the camera feed 😅🙈

Strongly recommend disabling it... placing my hand on my chin causes the balloons to go off.... this can occur at very insensitive times during meetings ("sorry for your loss" followed by BALLOONS)

Not always a good thing. My therapist was not amused.

Cool. Saw some podcasters accidentally hit on this the last couple days. They/we thought it was the streaming tech too. Good to know where it lives

I hope there will be support in the Apple Automator tool for these gestures 😅

It freaked me out the first time it happened to me. I was like "Holy balls, what is that? Is it Teams???". Eventually I found it.

This feature probably consumes another 16gig ram

Which means in the background the OS itself is spying on you, analysing and interpreting your movements. Not sure this is a great thing.

I was pretty supprised first time i saw it too 😅 Turned on background blure, and saw it got hidden, so i thought maybe it was something logtitech was doing with my camera.

I can't be the only person that was waiting for a middle finger.

And yet Apple won't upgrade the bezel camera to something resembling the quality of the iPhone camera.

I was surprised seeing the thumbs-up bubble over a Google meet call. But @Apple, why is this enabled by default without any information/warning!!
