Face Morphing (assuming we ever get a stable platform for video and sound)

So we have been having a lot of fun with face morphing to look more like our characters while playing with Zoom and the DM can change their appearance to look like monsters and NPCs. Is there any chance the video and audio functions will ever be stable enough for you to implement face morphing technology so I can play a tabaxi that looks like a tabaxi, a dragonborn that looks dragonborn, etc? Maybe let the DM replace the map with the video feed of their morphed face during NPC encounters. Maybe even give the DM an audio transmogrifier they don't have to be voice actors to play different NPCs.   I know everything cots money but maybe make this feature only available to DMs with a premium account or something. Build in stock morph faces for the important NPCs in modules. I'm just asking because running zoom and Roll20 on the computer is kind of a PITA and the video audio function on roll20 is largely a waste of bandwidth for me right now.  I wish I could simply turn it off. OOH there's an idea!   Let the DM turn off the video and audio features because almost nobody uses them because they are so unreliable.  They just suck up resources and seem to cause other problems.  Yeah.  if you can't fix the video/audio features, let us turn them off.

Nice idea, I've been trying to get something similar working with external programs but I'm on a mac and apparently the universe hates mac users... On the plus side, you absolutely can switch off the integrated video/voice :)
OH THANKS!!!!! I think the world is going to move more and more towards the cheapest most accessible tech possible.  When China and India came online with a billion users, the cheapest and most accessible platforms for them did not include mac. I don't think mac can survive in the coming decades unless they pivot towards being more accessible to people in developing economies. I remember a time when apps on the iphone outstripped apps on android. There were a ton of apps you could only get on iphones.  That's not really the case anymore.  The Google play store has 50% more apps than the app store.  I think Apple is an 8 track product in a world that is moving towards VHS.
