Helpful tips:

cm).

• once the avatar is turned on, hold your head still for about 5 seconds so the

software can properly calibrate and recognize your facial features.

• a well-lit environment is required for the avatar effect to work properly.

• for best results when using avatars, ensure the video size is between 320x240

and 640x480. See
