1. Multiple Scenes

   Lens Studio would benefit enormously from true multi-scene support for game and app development workflows.

   Right now, larger projects are forced into one giant scene or awkward prefab-based workarounds. There was a Scene Manager system in the past, but it relied on scene-sized prefabs, was difficult to maintain, and has since been deprecated. For developers trying to build games or more complex interactive experiences, proper scenes would be a major quality-of-life improvement.

   Why scenes matter

   1. Clean restarts / state resets
      Reloading a scene is one of the simplest ways to reset gameplay state. Without scenes, developers often need to manually reset every variable, timer, spawned object, enemy state, UI state, etc. That becomes messy fast.

   2. Better project organization
      Separate scenes for:

   Main menu
   Tutorial
   Gameplay
   Pause menu
   Results screen
   Different maps / levels
   Testing environments

   This keeps projects cleaner and easier to maintain.

   1. Loading & performance optimization
      Only load what is needed. A menu scene should not need gameplay assets loaded. A small tutorial scene should not carry a full boss fight’s content in memory.

   2. Team collaboration / Git workflows
      Multiple developers working in one project can work on different scenes rather than constantly touching the same master scene file and causing merge conflicts.

   3. Multiple levels / experiences
      Some experiences naturally need multiple spaces or levels. While dynamic instantiation is useful, forcing everything into runtime spawning is often slower to build, harder to debug, and less intuitive than authoring levels directly.

   4. Faster iteration & testing
      Jump directly into a combat test scene, UI sandbox, or performance benchmark scene without loading the whole project.

   About persistent data between scenes

   A concern raised is “how do you know what carries over?”

   That is already solved in many engines:

   Default behavior: scene-local data is destroyed on load
   Optional persistent/global objects for intentional carryover
   Explicit saved state systems
   Developer-controlled scene transitions

   This is a feature, not a problem. Many developers want scene changes to clear state by default.

   Suggested implementation
   Additive or single-load scene options
   Persistent global manager objects
   Async scene loading
   Scene transition callbacks
   Build settings / scene order list
   Editor play-from-selected-scene support

2. Control 3D Bitmoji with 3D Body Tracking

   Currently we can import Mixamo animations or create our own to animate a Bitmoji character.

   We can also use 3D Body Tracking to drive a rigged 3D character.

   However I can't find an easy way to drive a 3D Bitmoji character with 3D Body Tracking.

   The 3D Body Tracking documentation says it's possible and references the Bitmoji 3D doc, but there's nothing there.

4. Don't always show a crash report modal after an Lens Studio crash

   I would like to have an opt out button to not have to see a 'Report Crash' window. LS crashes an instane amount of times on Windows and having to dismiss that window is just another step

6. Scroll horizontally in Hierarchy panel

   When there are lots of child SceneObjects, the Scene Hierarchy window needs to be really wide to be able to see them. It would be ideal if it could scroll horizontally!

7. Get the url of a published lens while it's in review already

   It would be great to already get the url for a lens while it's still in review (showing some text like "lens is in review, try again later"), so they can be sent to team members in different time zones

9. Remember transform space setting (World/Parent/Local) in Scene

   When pressing ‘W’ to move an object, the ‘Space’ setting (World/Parent/Local) is reset to 'Parent'. When rotating with 'E', it resets to 'Local'. It would be great if a custom space setting would be remembered, ideally per SceneObject.

    Keyboard shortcuts (like 'F' to zoom to selection) stop working when the Scene panel is resized and their buttons disappear. It would be great if the keyboard shortcut keeps working, even when the panel is smaller

11. Improving Media Picker Functionality

    Media Picker has one big issue on phones (at least tested on iphones)

    The first image automatically triggers the media picked callback (this is not the case in studio but on device it is), so If I hook into that callback I have to block the first trigger. But then if you tap that first photo it doesn't trigger the callback so users just can't select it without first selecting another. The only work around is adding a dedicated UI button to "confirm".

    My suggestion is to either not trigger the selected event unless the user taps an item or add an item tapped event that runs everytime an item is pressed regardless if its already selected.

    I think the latter is more ideal and improves more use cases

12. Custom date range filter in My Lenses

    it would be good if we could filter a specific time frame when seeing the stats of our lenses (currently we're limited to last 7 days, last 28 days and all time). This way we would be able to understand how a lens performed on a specific month.

    Also I'd love to see the graphs following this filter. They always show the last 29 days no matter what.

13. Bitmoji Head 3D with Turn Based

    I love the turn based player info component, and it would be great if we could use the Bitmoji 3D head with that. If I try to just add the self Bitmoji 3D head, I get an error about it being restricted due to the network access of the turn based component. However, the turn based player info component can't do just the head, it pulls in the whole Bitmoji body.

14. Allow copy/pasting screen transform values

    Right now on 3D objects you can copy the transform values all at once and paste them on another transform component.

    It would be very handy to have this same functionality added to the screen transform. Right now I just copy/paste the component and delete the old one. Which does work but then I have to reconnect that component to my scripts and it's just a hassle. This would be a great little quality of life addition.

    An option to quickly invert the left/right values to mirror it would be cool too.

15. Video Preview - Codec Not Supported

    Usually I like to send my lenses to my iPhone to record a preview video. I save it straight from Snapchat to my gallery but when I try to use it as a preview in LS I always get a message saying "Uploaded file is invalid. Codec is not supported, please use H264.

    So I always have to convert the video, which is an extra step.

    Apparently the file type saved from Snapchat is a mp4, but I don't know what codec it uses. Is is possible to accept the same video codec that Snapchat uses? This would make the process of uploading a lens smoother. :)

17. Connected Lenses should allow disconnect without quitting Lens

    Currently connected lenses have no mechanism for quitting either to go back to single player in Lenses or to join a different session without restarting the application. Having this would help users be able to engage in the Lens longer without having to quit.

18. Spectacles - Browser javascript control

    Navigating and interacting with websites is a real pain point on the Spectacles at the moment. Being able to create custom UI elements in lenses to control websites would make the problems a lot better.

    Doing this with JavaScript console commands mapped to lens input is the most obvious choice, but introduces security risk for the end user. But i think it's worth looking into as it would open up a world of possibilities.

19. Feature Suggestion for Lens Web Builder & Mobile App: Add Lens Tag Input on Submission

    Hey team,

    As a Snap Lens Network partner, we at Arexa & Bharat XR have been actively hosting SnapAR meetups across India — bringing together creators, students, and professionals to explore the power of AR using Snapchat’s ecosystem. In our recent sessions, we introduced participants to the new Lens Web Builder and Lens Studio mobile app, and the feedback has been phenomenal. The tools are incredibly easy, fun, and accessible — especially for first-time users.

    That said, we wanted to share a small but valuable suggestion based on our experience:

    During our meetups, we ask all participants to use our official Lens tag: PNSM2025 when publishing their creations. This helps the team track how many lenses were produced during each event and evaluate participation effectively. However, we noticed that the web and mobile versions currently don’t have an input field for adding tags during lens publishing.

    If a simple input for “Lens Tag” could be added before submission in the Web Builder and mobile app, it would help us monitor event output more accurately, analyze and celebrate participant contributions and maintain consistency across desktop and mobile workflows

    This small addition could make a big difference in how community-led events like ours operate and scale.

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

20. Preview Stops Working with TypeScript Errors

    When writing TypeScript code that contains errors, the preview stops functioning, even if the erroneous code has not been added to the scene. Additionally, the logger does not display any information regarding the errors.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Write TypeScript code with syntax or type errors.
    2. Observe that the preview stops working.
    3. Check the logger for error messages.

    Expected Behavior: The preview should continue to work, and the logger should display relevant error messages indicating what is wrong with the TypeScript code.

    Actual Behavior: The preview ceases to function, and no error messages are shown in the logger.
