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.
2 votesHey Blake, would you say this is primarily for spectacles that you are looking for this?

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.
We have found some interesting solutions to this problem that you can review here: https://discord.com/channels/1044383298002112532/1353292968156598382

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!

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

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!

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

I need a separate section for gaming (2D/3D) included in Lens Studio sample projects for better practice.
As the title suggests, we, as users, love creating games. However, for newcomers, even understanding the simplest concepts can be challenging. Having a dedicated collection of sample projects focused solely on gaming would be incredibly beneficial. It would not only make learning more enjoyable but also inspire creativity, enabling users to craft unique AR experiences within a gaming environment.
1 voteHey Joel, this is a great note. Thanks for passing it to the team.
We are always looking for ways to make game creation more intuitive. This is why we recently added the Leaderboard feature which makes the entire game making process better on Snapchat.
We also recently built a brand new tutorial series specifically focused on game creation here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0rDQ-c-_kxcwwBccaz1N9Rmz_xgyijRg
As far as the feedback for more sample projects -- we will consider what is possible and let you know!

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

increasing the number of qualified regions for the qualified posters
A proposal to increase the number of qualified regions for the qualified posters, which would help maintain the enthusiasm of Lens creators and encourage them to be more creative. The current situation feels discouraging and diminishes the motivation of Lens creators.
The qualified regions could be aligned with those eligible in all of Snapchat's reward programs, such as the regions qualified on Spotlight and Story reward.
2 votesHey Hakim,
Wanted to circle back here.
While we consider all feedback, it is important to understand that a country not being included as a qualified region is not a negative.
We select the qualified regions to serve as good sampling of the international perspective of your lens.
If you're lens performs well in these regions its also likely going to perform well in your own region.

Add a new counting period
Here’s a suggestion that aligns with the duration set for lens eligibility by adding a new counting period to the statistics list, which currently includes:
7 days 28 days All timeThe proposal is to add a 90-day counting period, which has become a specific timeframe for lens eligibility. This will help lens creators track their lens statistics over 90 days. Thank you.
2 votesThis is a good suggestion and we will look at when we can potentially execute it! Thanks!

Send a mail when Draft lens is ready
A mail is not send when a Draft lens is ready. This feature is used to quickly send out test links to clients. Would be nice to get a notification as there's none right now.

Hand segmentation textures for left, right or both hands
Currently the hand segmentation texture only works for one hand, it would be convenient to have an option to specify which (or both) hand gets segmented.
7 votesHey Rob, would you mind explaining a bit more about your use cases for this particular request? Especially double hand tracking. With one hand usually holding the phone, we don't see this use case too often!

LAT - Project-wide asynchronous loading
I am running into LAT issues quite often, even on relatively simple lenses. I feel like the push for a low LAT is going to lead to lots of very low quality, simple lenses because maintaining a low-enough LAT introduces complexity into the project. Currently I will finish up a lens, turn it into a prefab, then use the scene manager to load it asynchronously. It works, but it leads to a very clunky developer experience because now I have to remember to apply my prefab changes and then disable the prefab again so that the scene manager is the…

Your post has spurred important discussions, We will continue to update you as we find additional ways to improve LAT including reviewing your thoughts here.
Thanks

Favorite Assets and Most Used for the Asset Library
It's great that Lens Studio has so many assets but sometimes it is hard to find certain assets without remembering their full name. Or other times I would see something I want to try later but I day later I won't remember what it was. If we could favorite assets that would significantly help with that problem.
Another tab that would be also very helpful - most used assets so we don't have to look for the assets we use all the time.
2 votesThis is a good idea -- there are some challenges we will have to explore for personalization.
We will let you know as we consider the idea
