Hi there.

There seems to be a common problem with lenses not showing up in Snap Camera. I uploaded my lense a few days ago, and it is scannable on my phone. However, I cannot find it in the Snap Camera app on my Macbook. 

Here is the link:

Would you be able to help me get this running on the Snap Camera?

Thanks,

Shahzore

    Hey Shahzore,

    Other community members have been wondering where their Lenses are on Snap Camera too. As I mentioned in that thread, currently, in order for a Lens to appear on Snap Camera, you need it to be a couple of things: live, popular, and adhering to the Lens Studio Submission Guidelines.  In general, to add a Lens, I recommend you boost it's popularity by posting it on the forum or other social sites as recommended in this guide.

    We are looking to fix this issue though so that you can see your Lenses within Snap Camera in the future without the popularity factor.

    Cheers,
    Kaitlyn

    Hey Shahzore,

    Good News! You can now unlock a Lens by its Lens Link in the latest version of Snap Camera. This means, you can find your Lens by pasting the Lens link into the search bar in Snap Camera as soon as the Lens is live.

    Download it here!

    Happy creating!
