This documentation is for reference only. We are no longer onboarding new customers to Programmable Video. Existing customers can continue to use the product until December 5, 2026.
We recommend migrating your application to the API provided by our preferred video partner, Zoom. We've prepared this migration guide to assist you in minimizing any service disruption.
Twilio Video Processors is a collection of video processing tools that can be used with the Twilio Video JavaScript SDK to apply transformations and filters, such as background blurring and virtual backgrounds, to a VideoTrack. You can also use the tools to create your own transformations or filters.
See a live demo with blurred backgrounds and virtual backgrounds using the Video Processors tools here.
View the Video Processors demo application and run the example application locally.
You can install Video Processors using Node Package Manager (npm):
_10npm install @twilio/video-processors --save
Using this method, you can import twilio-video-processors like so:
_10import * as VideoProcessors from '@twilio/video-processors';
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:
_10<script src="https://my-server-path/twilio-video-processors.js"></script>
Using this method, twilio-video-processors.js will set a browser global:
_10const VideoProcessors = Twilio.VideoProcessors;
