Snapchat has released Snap Camera, a desktop app to add Snapchat Lenses to the content filmed with a webcam. Therefore, YouTubers and game streamers can now use Snapchat filters, presuming they would want to do that.

Snap Camera has been developed in partnership with Twitch. It is intended to add various adaptive effects to the subject of streams or vlogs. These creators can choose one of thousands of Lenses in order to add an extra dimension to their work.

This new app may have come just in time, as Snapchat has recently been reported as experiencing a downturn in popularity even as it moves into profitability. Now, however, a whole new sector of users can be a devil or a panting dog while streaming their game. If that is their kind of thing.
