Apparently it doesn't change much, just smooths out spots and wrinkles. It's intended for early morning Zoom calls before you've had time to put your makeup on.
Could be useful for Spike???    ;)

BillK, it doesn't work unless you know how to use it right.  What I do is rig up my camera on Zoom, set it to Beautify, then get a second camera focused on my first screen and set that one to beautify, then a third, fourth and fifth camera, each focused on the previous beautify screens, each set to beautify.  Then with about five iterations of beautify working for me, I am up to about average in appearance and I'm good to go.

I am now working on a setting I call smartify.
