LINE Mobile vs LINE Desktop | Quick Overview
Yes, LINE video calls have built-in beauty features—no extra plugins needed. The difference: mobile focuses on beauty intensity and filters; desktop, after the 7.8 update, adds a full "Beauty" settings panel where you can adjust skin smoothing, face shape, eye size, nose shape, eyebrow color, and lip color individually.
| Comparison | LINE Mobile | LINE Desktop (7.8+) |
|---|---|---|
| Beauty entry point | Before video call: "Settings" → "Beauty" | During call: beauty settings; for group calls, set in preview screen |
| Adjustable options | Beauty intensity | Skin smoothing, face shape, eye size, nose shape, eyebrow color, lip color |
| Filters & backgrounds | Multiple filters, custom background upload | Preview screen: choose background, face effects, filters, and beauty |
| Supported platforms | iOS, Android | Windows, Mac |
| Auto-apply | Not clearly stated in public info | Can auto-apply to next video call |
| Supported call types | 1-on-1 and group video calls | 1-on-1, group video calls, and LINE Meeting |
This article compares 5 dimensions: entry point, adjustable options, filters and backgrounds, supported call types, and setting memory/auto-apply.
Dimension 1 | Where to Find Beauty Features and How to Use Them
On mobile, according to third-party tutorials, before a video call you can tap the "Settings" icon in the top right, then select "Beauty" to adjust the intensity. It's about a two-step process.
On desktop, after version 7.8, you can open beauty settings directly during a video call. For group calls, you can set background, face effects, filters, and beauty in the preview screen before joining—adjust everything, then enter the call.
→ This dimension: Mobile wins for quick intuitiveness; desktop wins for "prepared before the meeting." In business scenarios, the latter is more composed. Overall, it's a tie.
Dimension 2 | What Beauty Options Can You Adjust?
On mobile, currently it's mainly beauty intensity (effect strength), which quickly improves overall complexion but offers no granular adjustments.
On desktop 7.8, the beauty feature offers 6 options: skin smoothing, face shape, eye size, nose shape, eyebrow color, and lip color. It's like bringing common photo-editing adjustments into video calls, with a higher level of precision and detail.
→ This dimension: Desktop clearly wins (6 detailed adjustments vs. intensity only).
Dimension 3 | Filters, Backgrounds, and Face Effects
On mobile, LINE Taiwan's official blog has introduced video filter usage, recommending "Clear" and "Youth" among various filters for a fresh, flawless look. Backgrounds can be switched with one tap or custom uploaded—handy for finding a presentable meeting background on the fly.
On desktop, the group video preview screen also lets you pre-select background, face effects, filters, and beauty—all before joining the meeting.
→ This dimension: Both have filters and backgrounds; desktop adds the flexibility of pre-setting, so it edges ahead.
Dimension 4 | Supported Call Types and Platforms
Desktop version 7.8 is available on both Windows and Mac, and the beauty feature works for regular video calls, group video calls, and LINE Meeting video calls—covering all meeting scenarios.
Mobile supports 1-on-1 and group video calls on iOS and Android—most convenient for spontaneous calls.

→ This dimension: If your meetings happen in LINE Meeting or you prefer desktop, desktop has better coverage; for pure mobile calls, both are sufficient.
Dimension 5 | Setting Memory and Auto-Apply
Desktop allows you to pre-set beauty effects and automatically apply them to your next video call—no need to readjust each time, saving time for regular meeting-goers.
Mobile's public info does not clearly state whether it remembers the last beauty settings; desktop's documentation is clearer on this point.
→ This dimension: Desktop wins.
What Unique Advantages Does Each Have?
Desktop (7.8+) advantages:
- Most complete beauty options: skin smoothing, face shape, eye size, nose shape, eyebrow color, lip color all in one place.
- Auto-apply: Set once, use for every subsequent video call—no need to readjust before meetings.
- Group preview screen: Adjust background, face effects, filters, and beauty before joining, avoiding last-minute fumbling during the meeting.
- Full platform and scenario coverage: Supports Windows and Mac, and covers regular video, group video, and LINE Meeting.
Mobile advantages:
- Use anytime: No need to wait for desktop updates—apply filters and beauty right from your phone.
- Shortest operation path: Before a call, tap "Settings" then "Beauty"—done.
Beyond Beauty: How to Capture Meeting Content in LINE?
If your LINE video call is actually a work meeting, looking good is just the first step—post-meeting notes often take more time. Tinrec is another option for such needs: the desktop version records online meetings directly via system audio, no meeting bot required. After recording, it automatically generates transcripts, summaries, chapters, and action items. You can also ask AI follow-up questions about the meeting content and export results to Notion, Google Docs, and other tools. For team use, the team plan offers independent team spaces, member and seat management, usage analytics, and audit logs—meeting data stays with the team, not individual accounts. Actual results may vary based on recording quality, accents, and simultaneous speakers; for important content, we recommend cross-checking with transcripts and recordings.
Conclusion: Which Should You Choose?
• If you mainly meet on desktop and want to fine-tune skin smoothing, face shape, eye size, etc. → LINE Desktop 7.8+ (most complete beauty options, auto-apply)
• If you often use LINE Meeting or group video calls → LINE Desktop (supports Meeting, and you can preview settings before joining)
• If you mostly make spontaneous video calls on mobile and just want quick complexion enhancement → LINE Mobile's built-in beauty and filters are sufficient
• If you use both devices → Set up beauty on desktop with auto-apply, and use mobile as backup
In one sentence: LINE video calls already support beauty filters—mobile is great for everyday, desktop is great for formal occasions. If your video calls double as work meetings, remember to pair with a meeting notes tool to capture both the visuals and the content.
FAQ
Q: Does LINE video beauty require extra payment?
A: Current information does not mention any extra fee for beauty or skin features; they are built into LINE. Actual charges and benefits are subject to LINE's official announcements.
Q: Why can't I find the beauty option in LINE?
A: Desktop requires version 7.8 or above (Windows or Mac); mobile varies by app version and device. We recommend checking that you've updated to the latest version.
Q: Can the other person see the beauty effect?
A: Beauty is applied to your own video feed, so the other person sees the processed image—no need to feel awkward going bare-faced.
Q: Do mobile and desktop settings sync?
A: Public information does not clearly state whether settings sync between devices; in practice, we recommend checking each side separately.
Q: Can I use a third-party beauty app with LINE video calls?
A: There are third-party apps for real-time video beauty, but most are not official channels. Stability, ads, and privacy risks need to be evaluated on your own. If you just want beauty in LINE, using the built-in features is simplest.
