Give Your Video Application an Instant Makeover with the New Virtual Background Library

The Virtual Background Library is now available for developers building browser-based video applications using Twilio Video, allowing them to easily add virtual background support without requiring additional downloads or plugins. This library provides a simple and easy-to-use API and library that enables developers to blur or replace the background of a webcam video stream with a specified image, enhancing user experience and consistency in remote collaboration spaces such as finance, healthcare, education, and customer service, as well as social video applications. The library uses machine learning models for image segmentation, allowing developers to customize the user experience by applying various effects and replacing backgrounds while maintaining the participant's mask unchanged. With this new library, developers can now create visually appealing and professional-looking video conferencing experiences without requiring additional expertise or development time.
