Automatic Instructions
On this page
Have a question?
Ask the communityAutomatic instructions help people use your effects. For example, if an effect includes a face tracker but the camera isn't pointed at a face, the instruction 'Find a face' will appear at the bottom of the user's device screen.
You can also add custom instructions — there are lots to choose from.
All instructions are automatically translated into the right language when they appear on the user's device screen.

Spark AR Studio has automatic instructions for:
- The face tracker.
- The hand tracker, Hand Finder of Hand Select patches.
