# Disable special effects when video recording

> Hide background blur and virtual backgrounds during video recording.

Turn on **Disable special effects when video recording** to hide background blur and virtual backgrounds. Customers then record without those options.

Effects can distract from the testimonial or cause problems on lower-powered devices. Hiding them keeps the recording flow the same for everyone.
