Tip:
If you select the Expression+ area of the resource, you will be presented with a list of facial expression names. However, you can't determine what they look like before choosing.
Instead, open the catalog icon on the far right, open the Facial Expressions catalog, and then click on edit next to the name of the facial expression you want to see. You will then be able to preview the face. You can then drag and drop your chosen expression into the frame.
In the Headset, you'll see Ted hold the expression for 3 seconds and then stop:
