Testing in-work lenses with Snap Camera

Currently you can test a lens that is in-work in lens studio by scanning a generated lens code with the Snapchat app. Is there anyway to test a lens with Snap Camera for desktop? There does not seem to be a way to scan the lens code with the Snap Camera desktop app. If not this would be really helpful for those of us creating lenses optimized for Snap Camera to be able to test them without publishing.

 

Thanks.

    Hi David!

    If you use the Webcam Mode in the preview panel, and select the Landscape option, it will simulate how it looks like in Snap Camera! Hope this help:D 

    Best,
