Instead the goal is to drive more attention to its community AR Lens platform so more developers and creators will make their own effects. You won’t even have to log in to Snapchat to use it. Users can use Lens Explorer to preview effects and see who made them, Star their favorites for easy access and access a tab of your recently used Lenses.ĭespite Snap Inc.’s troubles following yesterday’s Q3 earnings announcement that revealed it’d lost 2 million users, causing its share price to hit a new low, Snapchat Camera isn’t about stoking growth. You can download the Mac and Windows versions of Snap Camera now. And through its easily equipped new Twitch extension, streamers can trigger different masks with hotkeys.
Snap Camera can be selected as a camera output in OBS Skype, YouTube, Google Hangouts, Skype, Zoom and more, plus browser-based apps like Facebook Live so you can browse through Snapchat’s Lens Explorer to try on AR face filters. Snapchat is launching its first Mac and Windows software that takes over your webcam and brings its augmented reality effects to other video streaming and calling services.
