# Webcam face swap in the browser: how LiveFaceSwapVideo works

Most face swap tools render a clip and make you wait, and local tools usually need a powerful GPU and a long setup. LiveFaceSwapVideo takes a different route: the swap runs live, on your own webcam, while you watch.

# Three steps

  1. Upload one clear reference portrait — your own face, or one you have explicit permission to use.
  2. Allow camera access in the browser.
  3. The cloud AI rewrites each frame as you move, talk or change the light, and streams the result back.

That is the whole idea behind a webcam face swap in the browser: no install, no graphics card, just a camera, a stable connection and a supported browser.

# More than a face swap

The same studio has two more live modes:

Processing runs in the cloud on realtime models (Lucy 2.5 and XMAX 2.0) over an encrypted WebRTC connection; the camera feed and the output are not recorded or stored.

# Using it in OBS, Zoom or Meet

A free Windows 11 desktop app adds a system virtual camera, LiveFaceSwapVideo Camera, so the live output can be picked as a camera in OBS Studio, Streamlabs, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord and similar apps. A macOS version is coming soon.

# Pricing and rules

New accounts get 100 free credits; paid plans start at $14.90/month. The service is consent-first: only your own face or a portrait you are authorized to use — no public figures and no minors.
