Real-Time Background Blurring

We introduced a beta version of real-time background blurring functionality in the 2.0 desktop recording client.

The feature can be activated by setting the new embed code option bgblur to 1. The effect can then be toggled within the camera device selector menu.

It is compatible with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on mobile and desktop platforms, but some limitations exist, such as partial functionality on the environment-facing camera in mobile environments.

Note that the feature relies on approximately 2 MB of library files for the face detection model, which will load only on the first activation of the effect in a recording session.
