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.

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 -
Add Global Shader Parameters
Currently shader globals are only for inter-shader multi step processing. I want the ability to set global shader variables in code that would update amongst all materials that use it. Currently I have to write a material registration system.

Nearby AR Experience Discovery (Landmarkers & Custom, Image Tracking & AR Mirrors)
A feature that lets Snapchat users discover AR experiences nearby — including Image Marker Lenses, Landmarker/Custom Landmarker Lenses, and AR Mirrors built with Camera Kit. When users are near an active experience, they’d receive a smart notification or in-app prompt to explore it.
This would help brands and creators increase visibility for real-world AR activations while connecting digital creativity with physical locations.

Better error feedback from publish bot
When publishing, the error message is often unclear for creators. Only after contacting support do we learn the real issue. Could these detailed errors be included in the feedback when a lens is not accepted?
5 votesWe are reviewing this with our team and will update you when we can. We really appreciate the feedback!

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.
5 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

Improve Undo Command (Ctrl + Z)
In LS 4 you could undo after importing something to the Resources/Asset Browser panel.
In LS 5 it only undo stuff in the Objects/Scene Hierarchy panel.
So if you import something, regret it and try to undo, it's going to undo the last action on the objects panel instead of the actual last action that was the import.
5 votesHey Caio, thanks for the report. Currently this is how lens studio 5.0 is setup. We will look into potentially tackling this in the future. Thanks for keeping this on our radar.

I have lenses that I designed myself, but I struggle a little while waiting and stopping at 200,000 and then fixing them

Transparent Justification for Lens Restrictions
Creators should be given a clear and specific reason whenever a Lens is flagged for not meeting Submission Guidelines, failing Creator Rewards criteria, or being otherwise restricted. Too often, these limitations are applied without justification, leaving creators frustrated and in the dark.
4 votesGood day! Thank you for sharing this feedback. For providing more clarity around the submission guidelines, this is something we are actively reviewing and working on to facilitate more transparency. As for Creator Rewards, we understand the concerns and will look into it further.

Feature Request: Marketplace for Lens Studio
I would like to suggest the addition of a Marketplace within Lens Studio.
This feature would allow creators to:
• Share, buy, and sell assets such as scripts, shaders, materials, and templates.
• Access a wide library of ready-made components to speed up development.
• Collaborate and exchange resources within the creator community.4 votes -
Provide websocket support for camera kit
Having websocket support will open up many cool applications for camera kit for web, so it would be great to have it supported on camera kit!

A/B testing in lenses
During the latest SLN all hands the team gave some insights into game lenses that caught my eye:
Having the user's front camera visible with picture in picture lead to higher engagement on spotlight. Versus focusing entirely on the game lead to higher retention, and greater shareability between friends.
As lenses become more and more complex, it would be great to have more insight into what makes our lenses engaging. Having a A/B testing suite would go a long way for optimization.
Give us the ability able to swap out or toggle certain components, and see which variant gives the…

Clear persitant storage on device
It would be handy to remotely clear persistant storage on the physical device via Lens Studio. To do it now you need to go deep in the Snapchat settings to do so.

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…
4 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.

Record the lens after X
There's new internal lenses that access this feature. Have us access the Record Snap function after 'x' would be super nice to guide users through certain experiences. Of course there's a trigger on Record but my lenses have massively decreased reach and engagement if i implement this. There's also no internal hint available for on Record.
4 votesThanks for the feedback! We've added this request to the product team's backlog!

UGC submissions directly from a Lens
Many of the brands we work with run competitions that require their audiences to activate using a lens and then submit the content to enter.
Previously we were able to solicit submissions by having the user direct message the content but since the roll out of brand profiles, users must now: follow the brand -> unlock the lens -> create the content -> @mention the brand -> post it to their story.
The additional friction from these steps has seen a steep decline in the number of entries brands have been receiving for these style of campaigns.
In an ideal…

iOS App Clips and Android Instant Apps
I want to enable users to try Snap AR experiences without needing to download the full app. This is often a barrier to entry for older users.
When a creator publishes they should see an App Clip Code, an Instant App code and the original SnapCode.
With these features I would be able to cut a lot of costs by not needing to deploy my own full mobile app to get the same functionality.
4 votesI believe you have seen that we have displayed this capability with a special internal lens. We are exploring ways to bring this feature to the public!

3D Object Tracking Flow
Similar to custom location AR, just minus the location.
