Use a Custom Avatar in Zoom Meetings
Want to show up as a custom avatar in Zoom instead of your face? Morfous lets you use a 3D character in any Zoom meeting. Your avatar copies your expressions and mouth movements in real time, and it works right in your browser—no software to install.
How Your Avatar Appears in Your Zoom Call
Morfous runs in your browser and captures your camera feed to drive your 3D character. The avatar mirrors your face, expressions, and mouth movements as you speak. When you join a Zoom meeting, Morfous pipes your avatar video into Zoom as a virtual camera, so other people see your character instead of your regular video feed.
You stay in control the whole time—your real camera and microphone work normally, and only your avatar image gets shared. Zoom sees it as a regular video source, so it works in any Zoom meeting without special setup from other participants.
Pick or Create Your Character
You have several ways to choose your avatar:
- Pick a ready-made character from Morfous and use it right away
- Upload a photo of yourself and Morfous creates a cartoon version
- Build your own avatar in the Character Creator
- Upload your own VRM or GLB file, including VRoid avatars
All your avatars and files stay on your device. You can switch between characters anytime, so you can pick a different one for different meetings or moods.
Bring Your Avatar to Life During the Call
Your avatar's movements match yours in real time. The optional arm tracking feature mirrors your real arms and hands for more expressive gestures. If you prefer not to use your camera, buttons mode lets you move the character manually while you still talk and type.
You can adjust your avatar's expression with quick keys or the reactions menu—switch between neutral, happy, angry, sad, relaxed, and surprised. Add voice effects to change pitch and tone, pick from different backgrounds, and frame your character how you like. Sparkle and heart effects play when you use reactions.
Connect Without Hassle
Morfous is free and runs completely in your browser on a laptop or phone. Just open it, pick your avatar, and join your Zoom call. Share your Morfous link or number with the person you want to call, or pipe it into a Zoom meeting you're already in.
You get a built-in chat for text, links, and images, plus saved contacts, redial, and call alerts. Everything stays in your browser, so your characters and files never leave your device.
Who Uses Avatars in Zoom
Many people use avatars in video calls for different reasons. Teachers and counselors create a calm, professional presence. Streamers and VTubers keep their on-camera persona consistent. Remote teams use avatars to make meetings more fun or to protect privacy. Families enjoy playing together by showing up as characters.
You don't need a reason to use an avatar—if you want to be on camera as a character instead of yourself, Morfous makes it straightforward.
Works With Your Other Tools
Because Morfous sends your avatar as a virtual camera, it works not just in Zoom but also in Google Meet and Discord. If you use other video platforms, they may work too. The avatar appears exactly as you set it up, with all your expressions and effects.
