Security reflects where data goes, requested permissions and incidents on record at the verification date. It is not a guarantee of zero risk: check the deployment mode and the connections you enable.

What it does, concretely

Animaze addresses a concrete need: appearing on screen during streams, video calls, or videos without showing your real face, using an animated avatar driven by a webcam or iPhone.

In practice, the app captures your facial expressions and movements in real time, then applies them to a 2D or 3D avatar. It integrates directly with tools like OBS, Streamlabs, Discord, Zoom, and Google Meet, and lets you broadcast on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, or Facebook Gaming.

Animaze is aimed at streamers, YouTubers, VTubers, artists, and content creators who want to build an original visual identity without heavy technical investment. The community exceeds one million users.

However, the tool is less suited to sober professional use or to those who do not need advanced visual customization during their video calls.

What it offers

  • ·Real-time 2D and 3D avatar control via webcam or iPhone.
  • ·Premade avatar library: humans, animals, and objects, with props, backgrounds, and emotes.
  • ·Import of custom models in Live2D, VRM, Ready Player Me, and Union Avatars formats.
  • ·Compatibility with OBS, Streamlabs, Discord, Zoom, Google Meet, SplitCamera, and StreamDeck.
  • ·Direct streaming to Twitch, YouTube, Facebook Gaming, TikTok, and Instagram.
  • ·Support for additional trackers: Leap Motion, audio-based lip trackers, and Tobii Eye Tracker (paid).
  • ·Animaze Editor to create and share custom avatars, props, and backgrounds with the community.
