Introducing camera filters for live video streams with Sendbird Live
We’re excited to announce a new camera filter API for Sendbird Live! This API allows developers to easily apply camera filters to the live videos of hosted events on their website and mobile applications. Camera filters are fun and engaging, allowing hosts to set the stage and unleash their creativity when broadcasting to their audience in real time. Sendbird Live integrates Banuba’s 3rd party face filter SDK using its industry-leading face-tracking technology, allowing developers to quickly build custom Snapchat-, TikTok-, and Instagram-like AR filters while decreasing the time-to-market.
What are the benefits of using camera and AR filters for live video streams?
