Part of the Video Effects SDK

Virtual background SDK

Blur, replace or remove the webcam background in real time, on the user's device.

Three background effects, one segmentation model

The model is optimized for real conditions: simple webcams, poor lighting and cluttered rooms. It keeps hair and hands and does not flicker.

  • Background blur with power adjustable at runtime
  • Background replacement with an image, a video or a screen capture
  • Background removal: a transparent frame or a segmentation mask for your own post-processing

Real segmentation examples

Available on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and the web.
