Confetti, balloons, displaying in Zoom on everyone's screen?

Is there a way (extension? app?) to enable a virtual confetti (like e.g. google virtual confetti) within Zoom? ... so it is seen by everyone in the meeting?

PS: also, balloons, applause....whatever gives that feeling of celebration (beyond the tiny icon in one's video).

There is no way to do this specifically via the Zoom Client application at this time.

 

You can currently use gesture recognition for raised hands and thumbs up only.

You may wish to check out MacOS Sonoma (if running an Apple Silicon Mac), which builds confetti/fireworks/etc directly into the camera feed that Zoom receives:

You could also use an external application like ManyCam, OBS, vMix, etc to impose these types of effects onto your camera feed before it hits Zoom.
