Using Skype, I have the option to blur out the background on my webcam. I'm now using Zoom and Google Meeting a lot more and would love to apply a similar filter in other apps. I've looked around for webcam filters / effects here but most posts are from nearly a decade ago.

Are there any current 3rd party tools that can put up some useful filters in any application?
