VKontakte has already appeared a sufficient number of emoticons that can be attached to stories. For those who don’t yet know what VK stories are and how to attach them, I’ll tell you. On VKontakte, when you log into the social network from your phone, there is a function that allows you to add an entertaining video. By clicking on the "History" button, you will have the opportunity to make a video and not just that.
You can attach an emoticon to it, draw something, and now you can attach an interactive mask that will move with you in the video or just move near you.
How to attach a VKontakte Mask?
Let me start with the fact that they just appeared in the stories functionality and are available only to operating systems IOS and Android. But many people, when they log into their phone, don’t understand why they’re not there! Yes, simply because they will only be available after the update. Update the VKontakte application and your masks will be with you! I still don’t understand how to do this, so I’ll explain how to install the masks in the video.
You open the application and, along with emoticons, stickers and the ability to draw a picture, you have another tab. Go there and see that the set is now available to you.
Use it and create a video that you can then post on the page or send to your friends, and they will be interested in how you managed to make such a cool video. I hope that only after I understand where the update button is, such a function will appear for me...
