Harness Powers of DeepAR and Custom Overlay with Ant Media Android SDK

Live streaming has evolved beyond simple camera-to-viewer broadcasts. Today’s audiences expect interactive content with visual effects, branding elements, and augmented reality features.

In this blog, we explore two ways to enhance Android live streams using Ant Media Server
:

• DeepAR integration for real-time AR filters and face effects
• Custom Canvas overlays for adding logos, text, or graphics on the video before streaming

Both approaches use the Ant Media Android SDK
and leverage Ant Media Server’s WebRTC streaming
to deliver ultra-low latency streams with real-time visual enhancements.
