Real-time face swap on any PC, no graphics card needed
You do not need a graphics card. NZCAM's cloud engine does the heavy work, so any PC, even a small, low-powered laptop, runs a smooth live face swap, and NZCAM still appears as a camera in every app. With a graphics card, NZCAM can run it on your PC instead.
The cloud engine
Switch the engine to On the Cloud: NZCAM's servers render the swap and send it back, live, and your call app sees NZCAM as its camera like always. You pay only for the seconds you use; unlimited plans include cloud minutes every month.
