Improving Developer Support for Camera Kit
I believe Snap’s Camera Kit, both on App and Web, is an exceptional product. Its accessibility and stability are truly world-class, making it a valuable tool for developers.
However, I’ve noticed that the support for developers could be improved. For instance, there seem to be fewer responses from Snap employees in the Discord channel, and the app review time, which is typically expected to take 3-5 days or up to a week, has now stretched to over a month. This can be challenging for developers working on high-value projects.
I sincerely hope that more support can be provided to developers…
23 votesHi David.
First, I am sorry for our poor support experience here. Second, thank you so much for sharing this feedback. We will get on this ASAP for Q4. Meetings to put together a plan starts next week and you'll see all the things you've called out be improved over the next few weeks for a smoother experience.
Please continue to share us your feedback here if you still feel we're missing the mark by the second week of Nov.
Appreciate you and the community!

Cylindrical Image Targets
Was recently exploring 8th wall and one thing that stood out was cylindrical and conical image targets. Given that we have soo many designs in real life that are on curved surfaces like bottle, poles, pipes etc. cylindrical targets would really help in Lens Studio as well
3 votesThanks for this feedback Krunal. This is something long talked about. I'm curious, to what degree do you think that training your own custom object detection models solves for this?

Better Audio Component
We need better Audio Component, (scrub forward/backward, pause, stretch)
AudioComponent currently does not support dynamic playback rate or pitch adjustment, nor does it offer any time-stretching capability necessary for realistic scratching.
2 votesSome of this can be accomplished my manipulating the Audio Component directly (https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/api/lens-scripting/classes/Built-In.AudioOutputProvider.html)
But understood on the feedback. We will look into it

Face detection on Face mask tool
In Lens Studio versions 4.00, there was a button to automatically align the face mask to the person's face, ensuring the mask fit perfectly and the eyes, nose, and mouth matched. Could this option be added again? It's not in versions 5.00.

Pivot Editing for 3D Objects
Would it be possible to introduce an option to edit or move the pivot point of a 3D object directly within Lens Studio?

World mesh should be accessible via script
Currently the world mesh mesh information is not accessible via script. This makes it difficult to do things like spatial understanding (i.e. voxelization of the mesh) as well as writing custom physics responses to the mesh.
2 votesHey Blake, would you say this is primarily for spectacles that you are looking for this?

VFX Gen AI
It would be very handy to have a VFX Gen AI tool. Even just for quickly prototyping things. Would like it to generate textures for it as well, so if I said generate a vfx asset of confetti falling, it would generate a flip book of confetti images and build the vfx. Then I'd go in and tweak it as needed.

UI Feedback Improvement for Importing External Resources in Lens Studio
Hi Lens Studio Team,
I’d like to request an improvement to the UI feedback when importing external resources into Lens Studio.
This morning, I attempted to add a script to a new component by searching for it by name. Lens Studio found the script, but since it wasn’t in the project folder, it automatically began importing it. However, because there was no clear indication of the import process (apart from the console log, which I didn’t check immediately), I attempted to add the script multiple times, only realizing later that it was still being imported. Eventually, this caused Lens Studio…
3 votesHey Vincent,
As attached, we do have a WIP indicator. However, it would be good for us to understand the crash a little bit better. (We are behind on this request, so you might have it anymore) but feel free to send the script.

Automatically move created assets into folders
When adding a new component, it often creates many new assets (more than the previous lens version), eg: for materials, shaders, images, etc. These quickly pile up and get messy in the asset manager. If assets were automatically organised into folders (like in Spark AR) it would save time developing.
26 votesSo currently, all new assets that are created for the past couple of months -- are being built this way. The assets will move into a single folder.
We will scope whether or not updates to all old assets make sense!

Model tracking (like Vuforia does)
Would be awesome if we could have model tracking in the future! So far i can only find Vuforia doing this (uploading a 3D model of a real world object and creating a tracker from this so we can add 3D content over/behind a product, bag, ect)! Like a landmarker but smaller and movable :)

iie6ie@gmail.com
Hello.
Greetings and thanks for your efforts in responding to all questions.
We strive to be effective and diligent in producing original and creative work.
However, there are many issues that go unanswered.
When a lens is won, why isn't the creator awarded a lens? We turn the content creator into a lens creator, and why aren't the eligibility criteria clarified?2 votesHello,
I am having a bit of trouble trying to find your exact quesiton here.
I think what you are asking is about Lenses that get a lot of view -- why aren't creators paid for it?
We have the Lens creator reward program which does pay out for engaging lenses. However, it is specifically focused on rewarding lenses with high Post numbers. https://ar.snap.com/lens-creator-rewards
Please clarify if you have questions further!

Receive notifications when you're near a custom location lens.
I propose adding a new feature allows users to receive automatic notifications when they enter an area with a Custom Location Lens or pass near one. The notification will appear directly on the Snapchat app with a brief description of the lens, making it easier to discover and experience."
Benefits:
This feature simplifies the discovery of Custom Location Lenses, whether the user is at the location or nearby. It increases engagement with the lenses at the right time and place. It also supports interactive campaigns and creators by enhancing the visibility of custom lenses and boosting interaction with brands or…6 votes -
GenAI for SFX
While we now have exhaustive tools and features for visual generation, one of the way experiences really come alive is sounds and music etc. as well in addition to the visual appearance. A genAI tool like this would really accelerate the high quality development
7 votesThis is a really interesting idea and we have passed it to the Gen AI teams for consideration!

Use ChatGPT or Claude to code Lenses. (Context7 MCP with Claude)
Hi everyone, as you might know, editing Lens Studio code with LLMs is a pain as NOTHING is up to date.
There is a new trends now based on MCP and Claude where the updated docs of every tools are on Context7 so Claude answers are always using latest docs.What are your thought on that ? Would be super helpful for everyone to finally unlock this for your users.

Dynamic Image Tracker
Similar to Vuforia’s runtime image target API, it would be great if Lens Studio supported Dynamic Image Tracking, allowing creators to create and load image targets at runtime instead of predefining them during lens creation.
Use Case:
• Let users scan custom images (from camera or gallery) during the lens experience.
• Enable personalized AR interactions, dynamic campaigns, and scalable retail activations.Why It Matters:
This would unlock real-time, user-generated tracking, pushing the creative and commercial potential of Snap AR far beyond static image markers.
2 votesDefinitely see the appeal here. We will review to see if this is something that aligns with us. Thanks!

Arms, leg and hand segmentation
Hi! how are you! I wonder if is possible to make a segmentation for both hands, legs, and arms. and also can be convenient that we can choose if is both or only one, because sometimes I try to make effects that work only for a especific part of the body
2 votesHey Florencia,
It's an interesting idea and we will pass it along.
If the team chimes in one way or another -- we will update here!

Body segmentation textures per person
Currently the body segmentation texture segments all visible bodies into one mask, it would be convenient to have an option to specify an ID that determines which body gets segmented in the mask texture.

Photo and video recording for snap hosted Web AR lenses
Snap Web AR lenses work amazingly well, but they lacks recording ability. Would be nice to have the same UI as on Snap (tap to take a picture, hold to record a video).
12 votesThanks for your feedback Denis! This is certainly a piece of feedback we have gotten a lot. We are looking into ways this might make sense.

Allow access to audio output from lens through Camera Kit for web
We are currently not able to access the audio from the lenses when using Camera Kit for web, this cause the problem of not being able to record the audio through a custom recording feature on the web app.
Recording the audio from the lens is essential as brands would want their SFX/music in the lens to be within the recorded video when their users share it on the social media.See the discord thread for reference: https://discord.com/channels/1044383298002112532/1344543101687042080
2 votesWhile a native way to complete this would certainly be best.

Feature Request: Continuous Physics Detection
While creating a game where users tilt their heads to keep a sphere balanced on a box platform, I encountered unstable physics that caused the object to shake, making interactions less smooth.
Introducing a continuous and stable physics detection system in Lens Studio could unlock exciting opportunities for creators, enabling more dynamic and immersive lenses like balancing games or precise virtual object interactions.
Thank you for considering this idea—I look forward to seeing how Lens Studio continues to evolve!
