Lens Hints

In Lens Studio you can define a hint to be shown to the user at the startup of your Lens. You can also show a hint when an event occurs or any time depending on your design. This guide will show you how to set up a startup hint.

These predefined hints are localized to various languages, which makes them more user friendly than a text component. However, you can also localize your own hint. Take a look at the Text Localization guide to learn more!

Setup

To set a hint for your Lens, go to the Project Settings button in the top left of Lens Studio and click it.

In the Project Settings window, select the Mobile tab on the left side bar, and select the Camera Hint drop-down to the desired Lens hint.

For more information on the Project Settings window, please refer to the Configuring Project Settings guide.

Hints will be shown to a user each time your Lens is activated by the user. They fade away after a moment. Hints are suggested when your Lens has some level of interactivity
