Snapchat launched, last Friday (26th), the Snap Camera program, which brings Lenses to computers, as their famous augmented reality filters are called. The application works seamlessly with some video sharing platforms, allowing you to record movies with the feature for YouTube or use them in real-time conversations on Skype, Google Hangouts and OBS. Free, the software is compatible with Windows 10 (64 bit) and MacOS 10.11 or higher systems.

Gamers will also be able to use Lenses to customize the way they appear to other players, varying according to the game style, personality or mood. Users of the streaming site Twitch have gained an extension to use the filters during transmissions and even interact with those who watch, who have the power to change the effects applied to the image.
To use the novelty, it is necessary to download and install the Snap Camera program on the computer. When opening, just go to the Feature Lenses section and select the lens you want to use in the photo or video. Just like in the Snapchat mobile app, the effects are applied to the person's face and react to actions interactively. A number of options already known on Snapchat are available such as the dog with the tongue out, the wreath, the wide smile, the wreath of hearts, among others.
In addition to its own filters, the application also provides creations developed by the user community, bringing together more than 200 items. Faced with so many possibilities, people can bookmark it by clicking on the star cone or seeing those most recently used in the section called Lens History.
The minimum hardware required to run the app: Intel Core i3 2.5Ghz or AMD Phenom II 2.6Ghz processor with 4 GB RAM; Intel HD Graphics 4000, Nvidia GeForce 710 or AMD Radeon HD 6450 card and 1280×768 or higher screen resolution. According to Snapchat, to use the program on the camera of the notebook or PC, just select the Snap Camera in the list of webcams to use the enlarged video.
