Twilio Video Virtual Background on Mobile SDKs is now Generally Available

Virtual Background support on the Video iOS SDK and the Video Android SDK is now generally available. The virtual background functionality is provided via optional plugin libraries for these native SDKs. When the plugin is included in a mobile application it can process the video camera feed and perform either background blur or background replacement. There is no additional charge for this feature.

Virtual background on mobile video apps enables end users to look professional while on the go and ensures that any background clutter does not distract from the conversation. 

To start using virtual backgrounds on your mobile application review the detailed setup instructions in our developer documentation and upgrade your Video iOS and Video Android SDK to the latest versions. The changelog file for the Video iOS SDK is here and the one for the Video Android SDK is here.
