The latest versions of Apple MacOS, and iOS include a video reaction feature which allows you to use hand gestures to add animated graphics to your screen! If you've been seeing balloons, confetti, or a thumbs-up bubble appear on your video you likely have this feature enabled.

Apple's informational guide on this feature can be found here.
