Advanced beauty effects

What are advanced beauty effects?

In addition to the basic beauty effects provided by the Live Streaming Kit, you can also choose to use advanced beauty effects to enhance your live streaming app. Advanced beauty effects include the following features: face beautification, face shape retouch, makeup, filters, stickers, and background segmentation.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you complete the following:

Follow the integration steps by referring to the Quick start or Quick start with co-hosting.
Contact ZEGOCLOUD Technical Support to activate the advanced beauty effects.

Getting started

Integrate the SDK

Add the dependency

Untitled

flutter pub add zego_uikit_beauty_plugin

Copied!

Import the SDK

Now in your Dart code, import the plugin.

Untitled

import 'package:zego_uikit_beauty_plugin/zego_uikit_beauty_plugin.dart';

Copied!

Add the initialization code

On top of the initialization code added in Quick Start, you need to set ZegoUIKitBeautyPlugin to the plugins parameter. Additionally, please refer to Online authentication to obtain the license and set it to the beauty parameter of ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingConfig. If you have already integrated the Co-Hosting feature and don't need advanced beauty effects, you can remove the ZegoUIKitBeautyPlugin plugin from the audience's config.

class LivePage extends StatelessWidget {
  final String liveID;
  final bool isHost;

  const LivePage({Key? key, required this.liveID, this.isHost = false}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SafeArea(
      child: ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreaming(
        appID: yourAppID, // Fill in the appID that you get from ZEGOCLOUD Admin Console.
        appSign: yourAppSign, // Fill in the appSign that you get from ZEGOCLOUD Admin Console.
        userID: 'user_id',
        userName: 'user_name',

              )
            : ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingConfig.audience(
                plugins: [ZegoUIKitSignalingPlugin(), ZegoUIKitBeautyPlugin()],
              )
              /// Set up the license obtained from ZEGOCLOUD.
              ..beauty = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig(
                license: () {
                  return $your_license;
                },

Add beauty effects resources

Advanced beauty effects require corresponding beauty resources to be effective.

Download resources

Click to download the beauty resources, and extract the resources to your local folder.

Adding resources to iOS:

Open Runner.xcworkspace with Xcode.
Drag the downloaded BeautyResources folder to the Runner directory, and select Create folder references.

Adding resources to Android:

Create an assets folder under the main directory of your Android project (no need to create one if the assets folder already exists), like this: xxx/android/app/src/main/assets
Copy the downloaded BeautyResources folder to the assets directory.

Run & Test

So far, you can simply click the Run or Debug button to run and test your App on the device.

Set initial beauty effect

To set initial beauty effect, calling the setBeautyParams method of the ZegoUIKitBeautyPlugin.

Method API parameter description:

paramConfigList：The list of beauty parameter configuration options you need to set.
forceUpdateCache：If set to true, it will force the use of the current beauty configuration and clear previous cache records. if set to false, it will use the current configuration when there is no beauty cache record. If there is a beauty cache record, it will not use the current configuration.

  const LivePage({Key? key, required this.liveID, this.isHost = false}) : super(key: key);

  @override

              )..beautyConfig = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig())
            : ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingConfig.audience(
                plugins: [ZegoUIKitSignalingPlugin()],
              ),
      ),
    );

  ZegoUIKitBeautyPlugin getBeautyPlugin() {
    final plugin = ZegoUIKitBeautyPlugin();
    final config = ZegoBeautyParamConfig(ZegoBeautyPluginEffectsType.beautyBasicSmoothing, true, value: 80);
    final config1 = ZegoBeautyParamConfig(ZegoBeautyPluginEffectsType.backgroundMosaicing, true, value: 90);
    plugin.setBeautyParams([config, config1], forceUpdateCache: true);
    return plugin;

Customize the beauty effects as needed

Note

FYI: Our beauty effects package includes two plans: Basic pan and Pro plan. The Basic plan only includes basic beauty effects, while the Pro plan includes additional features such as face beautification, face shape retouch, facial feature enhancement, makeup looks, stickers, and filters. For more details, refer to AI Effects.

To customize the beauty effects, config the beautyConfig in ZegoUIKitPrebuiltLiveStreamingConfig.

Beauty effects

Beauty effects included the 4 features: basic beauty effects, advanced beauty effects (face shape retouch), facial feature enhancement, and makeup looks. You can enable all four features or choose only a few of them.

The Basic Plan only includes the basic beauty effects. If you require other features, choose the Pro Plan instead.

Example 1: Selecting basic beauty effects and advanced beauty effects

Untitled

final config = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig(
    effectsTypes: ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.beautifyEffectsTypes(
  enableBasic: true,
  enableAdvanced: true,
  enableMakeup: false,
  enableStyle: false,
));

Copied!

Here's how it would look like:

Example 2: Selecting all four features

Untitled

final config = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig(
    effectsTypes: ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.beautifyEffectsTypes(
  enableBasic: true,
  enableAdvanced: true,
  enableMakeup: true,
  enableStyle: true,
));

Copied!

Here's how it would look like:

Filters

The filters include a total of 10 different filter effects, divided into 3 categories. You can use the following code to set them:

Untitled

final config = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig(
    effectsTypes: ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.beautifyEffectsTypes() +
        ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.filterEffectsTypes());

Copied!

Here's how it would look like:

Stickers

The sticker feature requires a relatively large amount of resources. You can choose whether to integrate the sticker feature based on your own needs. If you need to integrate it, you can refer to the following code:

Untitled

final config = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig(
    effectsTypes: ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.beautifyEffectsTypes() +
        ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.filterEffectsTypes() +
        ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.stickersEffectsTypes());

Copied!

Here's how it would look like:

Background segmentation

If you also need the background segmentation feature, refer to the following code to set it up.

Untitled

final config = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig(
    effectsTypes: ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.beautifyEffectsTypes() +
        ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.filterEffectsTypes() +
        ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.stickersEffectsTypes() +
        ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.backgroundEffectsTypes());

Copied!

For portrait segmentation in background segmentation, you need to provide a background image. You can put the image in the BackgroundImages folder and set it up through the config.

Untitled

BeautyResources/BackgroundImages/image1.jpg

Copied!

Configure it through the code like this:

Untitled

final config = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig(
    effectsTypes: ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.beautifyEffectsTypes() +
        ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.filterEffectsTypes() +
        ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.stickersEffectsTypes() +
        ZegoBeautyPluginConfig.backgroundEffectsTypes(),
    segmentationBackgroundImageName: 'image1.jpg',
segmentationScaleMode: ZegoBeautyPluginSegmentationScaleMode.aspectFill);

Here's how it would look like:

Make further customization

In addition to the aforementioned function customization, you can also pass in a custom effectsTypes array to determine which beauty effect you want to use.

Untitled

final config = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig(effectsTypes: [
          ZegoBeautyPluginEffectsType.filterDreamyCozily,
          ZegoBeautyPluginEffectsType.filterDreamyCozily,
          ZegoBeautyPluginEffectsType.beautyAdvancedEyesBrightening,
        ...
        ...
        ]);

Customize text

To customize the text related to the advanced beauty effects feature, you can use ZegoBeautyPluginInnerText like the following:

Untitled

final config = ZegoBeautyPluginConfig(
    innerText: ZegoBeautyPluginInnerText(
  titleFilter: 'Filters',
  beautyBasicSmoothing: 'Smoothing',
  beautyMakeupLipstick: 'Lipstick',
  ...
));
