Blurring for Clarity: Protect Participants Privacy and Aid Attention

Virtual meetings have a different vibe from in-person meetings due to the need for a shared environment, which can distract participants and affect their privacy during video calls. To address this, solutions like background blurring or replacing it with another image can be applied to reduce distractions and maintain participants' natural backgrounds. Both of these solutions can be easily implemented using OpenTok's API in Vonage Video applications by adding just a few lines of code. The tutorial guides users through the process of setting up their project, initializing the session and publisher objects, applying filters, and clearing video effects. With this solution, users can customize the appearance of their application and build further logic into their production application.
