Select the filter, and your video feed will transform. Snap Camera has at least 20 similar filters, so you can take your pick of cat faces. Now use the search bar to look for a filter you like.
I also confirmed that the cat filter is extremely challenging to switch off. Clicking over to the Avatars tab, I found a cat filter that appears to perfectly match the one Ponton used. I confirmed this by firing up an old Dell laptop from the late ’00s, and loading up the Dell Webcam Central program. While it’s not 100% clear exactly what app Ponton mistakenly engaged, there’s a theory that the filter is linked to an ancient Dell program, and an old post on the blog ChemBark depicts a seemingly identical cat filter running during a Skype call. But what if you, too, want to be a cat on your next Zoom meeting (or court appearance)? It’s great fun to watch Ponton’s transformation. Unsurprisingly, Ponton’s Zoom fail became a meme within hours, and a search for “ lawyer Zoom cat” on Twitter already returns thousands of results. And in our post-pandemic world - where absolutely everything seems uncertain - it’s even more delightful that Ponton felt he had to reassure Ferguson he had not, in fact, actually transformed into a cat. It’s delightful to see a grown man - testifying under oath in a serious legal proceeding - transformed into an animated LOLCAT. Those words may well go down as one of the iconic one-liners of the pandemic era.
