Pro Tips
- •Good lighting - Face a window or light source for better tracking
- •Center yourself - Position your face in the middle of the camera frame
- •Disable background blur - Platform blur features may interfere with effects
- •Know your effects - Local effects process on-device. Cloud AI effects send frames to models.
- •Privacy Shield enabled - If you look away or cover your face, Kira protects you automatically
Quick Troubleshooting
- →Effect not showing? Make sure you selected '[KIRA.CAM] Virtual Camera' in your app's camera settings.
- →Face not detected? Ensure good lighting and that your face is visible in the source camera.
- →Effect mirrored? That's normal - video apps show you a mirror view. Others see it correctly.
