While Snap Lenses may seem more entertainment-oriented, Microsoft Teams has added a professional dimension to the feature by integrating it into their application. Collaborating with Snap, Microsoft has brought Snapchat Lenses to Teams. This integration allows users to choose from 26 different Lenses, including virtual backgrounds, snowfall, and the ability to transform into cartoon characters. The Lens library is updated regularly to keep up with the latest trends and user demands.

Snap Camera Kit was used to integrate AR technology into the Microsoft Flip video learning platform, which was a success. After the success of Flip, Snap's Camera Kit was used to integrate Snap Lenses into Teams. Now, Lenses are available to all users and can be found under the Video Effects option.

Previously, Snapchat offered its desktop application, Snap Camera, which allowed users to use Lenses on third-party video conferencing services. However, the practice was discontinued earlier this year. The integration of Snapchat Lenses into Teams offers a unique way to bring entertainment and creativity to a more professional environment. The collaboration between Microsoft and Snap has been innovative and exciting, and it will be interesting to see what they will come up with next. However, it's important to remember to turn off Lenses during more formal conversations!
