Using your avatar on Zoom, Teams and Meet

Meetings are the quietest use of an avatar and often the most useful. Here is how it slots into the call software you already run.

Streaming gets the attention, but a lot of people use an avatar for ordinary meetings — presenting without being on camera as yourself, keeping a consistent on-screen identity, or simply not being camera-ready at short notice.

It appears as a camera

Once a session is running, Guisera shows up in your video settings the same way any webcam does. Pick it in Zoom, Teams or Meet and the call sees your avatar.

Start the session before the call

Most call software enumerates cameras when it starts. Begin the session first, then join, and it will be listed. If you started late, reopening the video settings usually picks it up.

Mind the meter

Billing runs while the session is live, not while the call is. If a meeting finishes early, stop the session — otherwise it keeps running quietly in the background.

Be straightforward about it

In a work setting it is worth saying you are using an avatar. It takes a sentence, and it avoids the conversation being about your camera instead of your point.
