How to integrate Lens studio and Snap camera?

I made a new lens that I intend on using it on my streams. I dont want it to be used by others and I dont want it to gain popularity. Currently according to my research, gaining popularity after publishing a lens seems to be the only way to add lenses to snap camera. What are my options here?

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Here are some options:

    You could use your Lens for the stream and then turn it offline. You can do that by:

    Going into “My Lenses” and switching the Lens to OFFLINE. This will turn the Lens off and then when you are ready to make it live again, just go back to My Lenses and turn it on. You can also submit a new version of the Lens, which will update the creative, but not the Snapcode.

    In addition to that, you can turn on the "do not promote" option by:

    Opening "My Lenses"

    Clicking on the Lens you want to not promote

    Clicking on the three dots in the bottom right corner of the Lens details view

    Clicking on "Do not promote"

    Clicking "Okay" to acknowledge the statement

    Then your Lens will not be promoted in Lens Explorer/ Snap Camera and won't be searchable.

    Your statistics will disappear for a couple minutes as the system resets your Lens, but they will reappear shortly.

    If you have trouble finding your Lens in Snap Camera, please forward me your Lens ID and I’d be happy to look into it!

    Cheers,

    Karolina

    Hello,

    I tried following the steps mentioned above, yet I couldn't get it on Snap Camera. This is my lens ID: 0571eae9-2c93-4b24-b48a-d0cf6f4da7b9

    EDIT: This is the sharable link (https://www.snapchat.com/unlock/?type=SNAPCODE&uuid=d1e00a5961a0447587dd89f54b9d33a0&metadata=01)

    It'd be nice if you can help me out :)

    Hi All,

    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!

    When I paste my links into the search bar the lens pops up but when I try and turn on the lens it turns on for a second then disappears and I have to re-search the url and same thing happens. I've tried to add it to my favorites and then it disappears from there when I try to turn it on again. This has happened for lenses I have created on windows and mac. And tried to open in snap camera on windows and mac.
