License#

All the basic configuration settings are part of the EngineSettings which are required to initialize the camera.

license – the license to activate the Engine with.

userID – an optional unique ID tied to your application's user. This helps us accurately calculate monthly active users (MAU). Especially useful when one person uses the app on multiple devices with a sign-in feature, ensuring they're counted once. Providing this aids in better data accuracy. The default value is nil.

Configuration#

You can optionally pass a CameraConfiguration struct to the Camera initializer.

recordingColor – the color of the record button.

highlightColor – the highlight color of the delete and confirm buttons.

maxTotalDuration – the total duration that the camera is allowed to record.

allowModeSwitching – Set to false to lock the camera into its initial mode.

Mode#

You can optionally configure the initial mode of the camera.

Available Modes#

.standard: the regular camera.
.dualCamera(layoutMode): records with both front and back camera at the same time.
- layoutMode determines the layout of the two cameras. Available options are .horizontal and .vertical.
.reaction(layoutMode, URL, positionsSwapped): records with the camera while playing back a video.
- layoutMode determines the layout of the two cameras. Available options are .horizontal and .vertical.
- URL the URL to video to record a reaction to.
- positionsSwapped a boolean indicating if the video and camera feed should swap positions. By default, the video being reacted to is on the top/left (depending on layoutMode).
