Method for generating a live streaming video having real-time special effects starts with a processor displaying on a display device a lens selection user interface including a plurality of lens selections. The lens selections are associated with a plurality of special effects, respectively, and include a first lens selection associated with a first special effect and a second lens selection associated with a second special effect. The processor then receiving a selection of the first lens selection and applies in real-time the first special effect to a video stream captured by a camera to generate a video stream having the first special effect. The processor then transmits in real-time the video stream having the first special effect via a network to be displayed on a plurality of client devices. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Generating a live streaming video having real-time special effects

Method for triggering changes to real-time special effects included in a live streaming video starts with a processor transmitting in real-time a video stream captured by a camera via a network. The processor causes a live streaming interface that includes the video stream to be displayed on the plurality of client devices. The processor receives a trigger to apply one of a plurality of special effects to the video stream and determines a first special effect of the plurality of special effects is associated with the trigger. The processor applies in real-time the first special effect to the video stream to generate a video stream having the first special effect and transmits in real-time the video stream having the first special effect via the network. The processor causes the live streaming interface that includes the video stream having the first special effect to be displayed on the plurality of client devices. Other embodiments are disclosed.
