Outdated Documentation & Deprecated API - Face Expressions
I'm going through the documentation and this page about Face Expressions shows some code lines that give "deprecated API" warnings in Lens Studio. There's also one dead link "RenderMeshVisual"
https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/features/ar-tracking/face/face-expressionsThis API page indeed says that "getExpressionWeightByName" is deprecated, but it doesn't say what we should use instead.
https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/api/lens-scripting/classes/Built-In.FaceRenderObjectProvider.htmlHowever this one says nothing about it being deprecated:
https://developers.snap.com/lens-studio/api/lens-scripting/classes/Built-In.Expressions.htmlIt's a bit hard to know what to use.

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.

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.

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

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?

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

User Input for New line in Text Components
Currently it's very difficult to enter multiline inputs in the dynamic text ( Editable Text/ Shareable Text ) as the enter key's native behavior is to confirm the text and not a new line. If we can have something which allows us to input new lines as well that would be awesome. For now I have created a custom keyboard to do the same

Make new windows open next to the scene panel
Currently, every time we open a new window it opens next to the Asset Browser panel, which is very small. It would be good if the default behavior was to open next to the scene panel, in the middle of the screen

LS 5 Asset Library Broken Assets
A handful of the assets in the asset library currently seem to not work properly in LS 5 specifically LS 5.4.1 I am testing them in. It would be nice if the report button in the asset library allowed us to report these there rather than that button only being for copyright infringement complaints.
Here's a list of the one's I know of and any explanation I can provide:
Particles Controller - using outdated gpu particle shader, fails to render on device without updating shader to new version manually
Image Carousel - code is based around the 4.55 screen transform…
1 voteThanks for these detailed reports! We will be looking into the issues on these assets and look for resolutions.
We will also work on putting together a better reporting mechansim here!
Thanks!

Multiple Image Tracking at Once
So wanted to build an experience where I could track multiple images at once but I found out that while upto 10 markers are supported in one lens; at any given time only one image marker can be tracked.

Lag and Too Many Options in Script Graph
I'm a programmer and sometimes teach new-media tools such as Lens Studio and Meta Spark in Taiwan. Most of my students do not have coding skills, so Script Graph is a really nice feature to let them get hands-on making interactive experiences, and is also very easy to teach. (And they like the Patch Editor in Meta Spark a lot)
Although Lens Studio 5 hasn't officially supported Script Graph yet, as someone who is interested and cares about visual scripting, I have tried it out and would like to provide some feedback.
It seems to me that Script Graph does…
1 voteAs you've already commented, Script Graph is currently not supported in 5.0. So the issues you are having are some that are expected to be issues.
We are continuing to review our script graph functions and are working on forging our best path forward. Thanks for your feedback! We will let you know when we have updates!

Add Built-in Grid Overlay for Symmetry in Preview Section
When developing AR lenses, it's crucial to ensure that all assets are symmetrically placed and aligned across various mobile phone screen ratios. To achieve this, I currently upload a preset preview image of a grid to manually check if the entire scene is perfectly symmetrical.
A built in grid overlay in the preview section would be a game changer. This feature could allow developers to toggle a grid directly within the workspace, ensuring precise symmetry across all screen ratios.
This would save time, reduce errors, and help developers deliver perfectly aligned lenses without relying on manual uploads.
Would love to…

More robust LAT debugging tools.
As LAT is now a hard metric for Lens approval, especially for advertising and commercial lenses, we need more robust tools for debugging LAT performance in lenses.
Common issues being seen are large differences between LAT reporting in debugging on device vs reported debugging when a Lens is submitted (often 2x or more).
Even when following the guidelines for remote assets and async prefab loading, these can seem to have little to no effect.It would be great to have a comprehensive list of which specific technologies within Lens studio incur LAT spikes and specific mitigation steps to get these…
1 voteThanks Liam for the thoughtful notes. I know that we discussed this recently in our Open house meeting.
We are continuing to explore ways to make this process better. We will offer updates when possible

Web Hosted AR Lens Frame Rate
Hello! The frame rate on any web hosted lens on mobile is pretty low and would not be suitable for any potential project to go ahead as it's essential the experience is not extremely laggy. Could a fix be implemented so it works this week? Im on a iPhone 12 Pro with safari as the browser and the versions in snap and on a Mac in safari all work with a great frame rate.
A world tracking or simple/light effect like eye colour works better but the rate is still noticeable.
Deployed web cam kit of the same lens works…
