Quick launch summary

Cafe and condo interiors will have various iterations, such as snowy or rainy weather, which will help dispersed teams better represent their current time zone and climate. 



Various lighting and weather effects will be available



Additionally, we’re giving you more options to customize your video with various light and color filters and more stylized backgrounds.
