Due to the COVID outbreak, everyone has resorted to online video-conferencing. Many of us rely on Zoom to attend meetings, host webinars, and even to keep in touch with friends and family.
Zoom app with its innovative features tends to keep an edge over its rival meeting apps such as Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc. With a plethora of different configurations that Zoom has to offer, one such feature that stands apart from all its competition is Touch up my Appearance.
