How to Make Cameos in Snapchat

Snapchat is one of the best communication apps because it is very innovative and different from all other apps. Snapchat is constantly improving and many new features are being added all the time. One of the most anticipated is the new Cameo feature.

If you would like to know how to make portraits in Snapchat, you are in the right place. Keep reading for great tips and tricks to learn how to take portraits together with your friends.

That’s right, two person portraits are a thing too!

What are Snapchat Cameos?

Does Snapchat allow its users to star in movies? Well, not exactly. The cameo feature is for sending a quick video reaction to your friends on Snapchat. There are over a hundred simple animated clips that you can attach your face to.

A Snapchat cameo is basically like a selfie that you put into a funny and short animated clip. When you create a Snapchat cameo clip, you can share it with your Snapchat friends via chat. You can also star in a Snapchat portrait with your friend if they approve.

Snapchat remembers your selfie (face) and lets you use it with multiple portraits without having to keep taking new selfies. Of course, if you want to change your selfie and take a new one, you can do it whenever you want.

Snapchat isn’t the first app to let people do things like this. Some Chinese apps like Zao have done something similar. However, it’s a really fun and goofy feature and it really suits Snapchat very well.

How to make Snapchat Cameos?

There are two ways to create Snapchat portraits: using your profile page or directly accessing the chat option. If you want to chat straight away, skip to “Step 5” below, but a profile option is suggested for your convenience.

Create or change your Snapchat Cameo from your profile page on iOS/Android

1. OPEN “Snapchat,” then go to your profile page.
2. Scroll down and select “Create Selfie Cameos” or choose “Change Selfie Cameos” if one already exists.
3. An outline face appears. Move the camera around until your face fits into the outline. Click on “Create My Cameo” when the button turns blue.
   
4. Choice “male” or “female” image and then tap “Continue” button that turns blue. Your cameo will be created and saved.
   
5. Access “Chat” and select “friends)” that you want to receive your portrait.
6. Click on “” (smiley icon) next to the chat box.
   
7. At the bottom select “” (use image bar icon) for Android or “” for iOS if an image panel already exists and you want to use it. Otherwise, go to “Step 9” and create a new image panel.
8. When you select the “use image panel” icon, select the desired image panel at the bottom of the screen and it will automatically send the clip to your friend with your face on it. You are done.
   
9. If you want to create a new image panel or don’t have one yet, click on the “” (add cameo icon). If you don’t see it, try going back to “Steps 1-4” using your profile page.
   
10. Follow steps 5-8 to open the chat again. Your image clip will now be sent to the recipient. You are done.

Now that you’ve created an image panel outline, you can continue sending different image elements from the chat window while you talk to your friends on Snapchat. You can also create quick image fields in the “Recent” tab, as the application remembers your image field pattern.

You can change this pattern at any time by revisiting the “Cameo” menu and selecting a different Cameo tile. Then tap the “More” button and select “New Selfie”. You can also preview your selfie first.

How to make Snapchat Cameos for two people?

Everything on Snapchat is more enjoyable when you do it with friends. Cameos can also be a collaborative effort. When you first create an image panel, you can enable portraits for two people. Tap that to enable creating them with friends.

This way, you will be able to enjoy the dual function portrait creation and have a lot of fun with your besties. For now, only two people can participate in Snapchat portraits, but maybe that number will increase in the future.

Also, make sure you allow your friends to use your portrait selfies. Otherwise portraits with friends will not work.

1. OPEN “Snapchat” and go your way “profile.”
   
2. Choose “Settings” and choose “Use my Cameos Selfie.”
   
3. Choose “Each” or “My friends.” If you choose “Just me,” you won’t be able to take two-person portraits on Snapchat.
