Bad lighting, a messy background, or just not wanting to be fully "on" for another call — the usual fix is turning your camera off entirely, which loses the presence a video call is supposed to have. Native avatar features in some call apps help a little, but they're often locked to that one platform, limited to a handful of cartoon presets, and don't actually track your real expressions closely.
An avatar for video calls solves a specific problem: it lets you keep your camera on — nodding, reacting, making eye contact, showing you're present — without putting your literal face and living room on screen. Instead of choosing between a raw feed you're not comfortable with and a dead black tile, you get a third option: a live character that moves exactly when you move.
LiveGen's Face Swap runs live through your browser camera, so you can appear on a video call as a character instead of your literal face — while still showing up as a real, moving presence rather than a black camera-off tile. Pick a character reference, and your actual expressions, talking, and head movement drive that character in real time, frame by frame, so the person on the other end still gets genuine reactions and timing, just with a different face attached. Because it runs in the browser rather than inside a specific call app, it works as a camera source for whatever video call tool you're already using, with nothing new to install on the call platform itself.
This is a real-time transform, not a pre-rendered clip. There's no upload-and-wait step: the character is generated frame by frame as you speak, so lip movement, blinks, and head turns stay in sync with the live conversation. That's what separates a genuine AI avatar webcam from a static image or a looping animation — the person on the other end is reacting to you, in the moment, just wrapped in a different face.
If you're swapping into a preset character, you're good to go. If you upload a reference of a real person, only use a face you have the right to use — LiveGen moderates uploads and applies a Content Policy, and using someone else's likeness needs their consent.
The transform happens in a browser tab and renders into a live video frame. How you feed that into a meeting depends on your setup. Some workflows let you share or select the browser feed directly; others use a virtual-camera bridge so the transformed feed shows up in the camera dropdown of Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Discord, or whatever tool your team uses. Either way, the call app itself doesn't need built-in avatar support — it just sees a camera. It's worth doing a quick dry run so the character selection appears in your app's device list before the meeting starts, rather than fumbling with settings while people wait.
A live video call filter baked into one app usually keeps you inside that app's ecosystem and its short list of cartoon faces. LiveGen is platform-independent: because it produces a standard camera feed, the same character travels with you from a work meeting to a personal call to a stream. You're not limited to presets either — upload any reference and your live expressions map onto it, so the identity is yours to define. And because the whole thing runs in the browser on desktop or mobile with nothing to install, there's no download, no plugin, and no GPU required on your side. If you want to go further than a face, you can pair it with an AI Background Changer or build a fuller identity with the AI Avatar Creator.
Your real expressions come through. LiveGen tracks your face frame by frame, so the character blinks, talks, and reacts in sync with what you're actually doing, not a fixed image.
LiveGen runs in your browser and can be used as a camera source, so it can work alongside whatever video call tool you already have, without needing built-in avatar support from that app.
Yes. Since the transformed feed acts as a camera source, it isn't tied to one platform — you select it as your camera in the app you're calling from, whether that's Zoom, Meet, Teams, or Discord.
No download is required for LiveGen itself — it runs entirely in your browser. Depending on your call app, you may use a virtual-camera utility to route the feed, but LiveGen has nothing to install.
Yes. Upload any reference image and LiveGen will map your live expressions onto it. If the reference is a real person, only use a face you have permission to use.
It's built to run live in the browser with low latency, so the transform keeps pace with the conversation. As with any real-time video, smoothness depends on your device and connection, so a quick test call is worth it.
Yes. Because the avatar is just a camera source, you can change your camera selection in the call app to return to your normal webcam whenever you want.
