Is there a way to see your own persona when making a FaceTime call? When people are reacting in a “oh my god, this is so creepy, never call me using this again” kinda way, I want to see what they’re reacting to 🤣
Got a tip for us?

After making your persona, you see a preview where you can adjust lighting. It's a lot like seeing your drivers license photo for the first time.
I don't know if you can also see yourself during a call.

Reactions to my persona have been very mixed. One friend described it as "creepy & disturbing." Another friend thought it was "really cool." My wife was fairly neutral on it, but was impressed by the technology.
Personally I wasn't expecting it to be photo-realistic, and I'm quite impressed with how it seems to be able to mimic what my actual face is doing, right down to the movements of my mouth and eye brows.

I agree with OP that it would be nice to be able to see your own persona during a FaceTime call however, that doesn’t appear to be possible right now.
