Frequently Asked Questions
Janus is a real-time character animation platform that transforms your webcam feed into any character instantly. Using AI-powered facial tracking, you can stream as a character on Discord, Zoom, Twitch, YouTube, and other platforms without any special hardware or setup.
Janus uses advanced AI to track your facial expressions and movements through your webcam. It then applies these movements to your chosen character in real-time, creating a fully animated version of you. The technology works entirely through your browser or our Chrome extension, requiring no downloads or special equipment.
Janus works with all major streaming and video conferencing platforms including Discord, Twitch, YouTube, Zoom, Google Meet, OBS Studio, and any application that supports virtual cameras. You can use it for gaming, streaming, video calls, content creation, and more.
No special equipment is needed! All you need is a standard webcam and microphone. Janus works with any webcam, including built-in laptop cameras. The AI processing happens in real-time without requiring expensive motion capture equipment or green screens.
No. We don't store the photos you upload to generate the avatars. We only send them to our image generation providers for processing.
Janus offers a free tier with 3 minutes and 3 avatar generations to get you started. You can top up your minutes and generations at any time, with no monthly commitment. For access to higher quality streaming, greenscreen support, and the ability to upload your own image to generate an avatar, you can upgrade to a paid plan.
Your privacy is our priority. All facial tracking happens in real-time and we don't store your webcam footage. We only process the data needed to animate your character during your active session. You maintain full control over when your camera is active and what gets shared. Images uploaded when creating an avatar from an image are also not stored on our servers, they are only used in transit to generate the final avatar.
Janus works best with a modern computer and a stable internet connection. We recommend using the latest version of Chrome or a Chromium-based browser for optimal performance. A webcam with at least 720p resolution will give you the best results, though it works with any webcam.
Yes! Janus works perfectly on Mac (macOS), including MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, and Mac Studio. Since Janus uses cloud-based GPU processing through your web browser, you don't need expensive graphics hardware on your Mac. It also works seamlessly on Windows, Linux, and even mobile devices. Whether you're on an M1/M2/M3 Mac or Intel Mac, you can stream with any character using just your built-in webcam and Chrome browser.
