planned

App seems to run as expected. Virtual background all working from camera. Main issue is that the virtual camera doesnt seem to exist in order to be selected in an external app. This is on new Surface Pro 11 which is Snapdragon. Appreciate you dont officially support ARM but the app is so close to working that it would be a big win for a small amount of work. It would be appreciate by myself and many other with the new range of laptops on the maket

Any updates on this? I only have an ARM machine now - so I will really appreciate when this comes available. Thanks :)

We intend to add ARM support in the coming months. We'll keep this updated as things progress!

Jon Young thank you for the update. That is amazing news! Will you also leverage the NPU to increase battery life?
Additionally I think windows studio effects allows third parties to integrate with it, so you might not even need the virtual camera anymore creating further battery savings and more stability. Maybe that should be a different post? but have you any thoughts on that?
(Windows studio effects is the new part of Windows 11 that holds AI effects available)
Many thanks :)

McBurg We recently did some work with Intel on that front, and actually released an update the other day (on the Windows Beta) to utilise the NPU, if one exists! I'll catch up with the team RE: WSE.

Jon Young That sounds vey exciting. And if it were not Intel but Snapdragon Elite X ARM would the NPU also be utilised?
