Extension for Microsoft Teams on the web

Vanish with
a salute

One gesture in front of your webcam, a puff of smoke, and you leave the meeting in style. Everyone sees it.

Chrome and Edge, on Windows and Mac Your video is analyzed on your computer

Demo: a person does a two-finger salute, an ink-outlined puff of smoke appears, the room is empty, then the person comes back. Live Invisible You
Two-finger salute, poof, nobody there. The same gesture brings you back.

How it works

Three steps

  1. Install the extension

    In Chrome or Edge, then open Teams in your browser at teams.microsoft.com.

  2. Take the photo

    Click “Take the photo” and step out of frame for 5 seconds: VanishCam remembers the empty room.

  3. Do the gesture

    A two-finger salute and you vanish. The same gesture brings you back.

Subtle sound

Every transition has its sound effect. It's mixed into your mic at a low volume: the meeting hears the “poof”, and so do you. Adjustable volume, or “Only me”, or “Off”.

Questions

Good to know

Does it work with the Teams desktop app?

No. VanishCam works with Teams in your browser, at teams.microsoft.com, in Chrome or Edge, on Windows and Mac.

Do other participants see the effect?

Yes: the effect is in your video, like a real magic trick. The sound effect too, if you choose “Whole meeting”.

Is my video sent anywhere?

No. Gestures are recognized on your computer and the empty-room photo stays there. Teams gets your video as usual; nothing else leaves.

How do I activate the full version?

If you pay from the extension, it activates by itself. Otherwise, the confirmation page gives you a key to paste into the extension, under “I already have a key”.

Which payment methods?

Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay, on Stripe's secure payment page. We never see your card details.

I lost my key

Go to Find my purchase with the email address you used to pay.

What about another computer?

Your key works in all your browsers: paste it into the extension, under “I already have a key”.

Why a watermark in the free version?

A small “VanishCam” appears during the free transition. It disappears as soon as you get the full version.

Does VanishCam show messages?

In the free version, a small message about the full version may appear in your Teams tab, never during a meeting and at most once a day. You can turn it off with one click or in the extension settings.

Are the ninja seals reliable?

The gestures (salute, wave, palm swipe) are the most reliable. Ninja seals take a little practice: good lighting and hands clearly visible, facing the camera.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Teleport is free: try it before you pay. A problem after buying? Write to us, we'll help.
