How to react with hand gestures on Mac | Apple Support

In macOS Sonoma, you can enhance your video calls with 3D effects using hand gestures if you have a Mac with Apple Silicon or are using Continuity Camera with an iPhone 12 or later. To use these effects in FaceTime, perform specific gestures: a thumbs up or down triggers bubble reactions, a heart shape shows affection, two thumbs up or down create fireworks or stormy weather, and a peace sign or two produces balloons or confetti. You can also use two “horns” signs to create laser effects. Explore these fun features to add excitement to your video calls.
