Getting featured on the Snapchat carousel
I recall reading that some exceptional lenses may be selected by Snapchat to be featured on the Snapchat carousel. Can anyone confirm this?
If so, what criteria is looked at when choosing a lens? What are the chances of a lens being selected?
To be blunt, and I hope I'm not hurting anyone's feelings, some of the lenses featured on the Lens Studio website are very simple (although I know the complexity of a lens might not be directly related to its "quality").
What are others' thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Hi Andrew,
For the moment we are reworking the way we feature Lenses in the app. Yes, we have tested placing some community Lenses in the carousel and are constantly working on new ways to showcase what the community creates. But in general we look for Lenses that are creative, easy to use and adhere to the guidelines.
Feel free to share what you think makes a quality Lens though.
Happy creating!
Kaitlyn
Thanks for the feedback Kaitlyn!
Currently working on a couple lenses so this information is very helpful.
