Programmable Video Processors

You can also use the tools to create your own transformations or filters.

Add the SDK

You can install Video Processors using Node Package Manager (npm):

npm install @twilio/video-processors --save

Using this method, you can import twilio-video-processors like so:

import * as VideoProcessors from '@twilio/video-processors';

Using the <script> tag

After installing with npm, you can also copy twilio-video-processors.js from the dist/build folder and include it directly in your web app using a <script> tag:

<script src="https://my-server-path/twilio-video-processors.js"></script>

Using this method, twilio-video-processors.js will set a browser global:

const VideoProcessors = Twilio.VideoProcessors;
