Landmark Camera

Landmark Camera

Landmark Camera restyles your webcam live with generative AI, triggered by what your viewers do. A tip, a cheer, a gift, or a chat command can turn your feed into anime, neon, or cinematic. Or drop a glowing dragon over the scene. For a set number of seconds, then snap back to normal.

How it works

You set up rules (we also call them triggers). Each rule says: when this platform event happens, run this prompt for this many seconds. When a matching event arrives and your capture window is open, the prompt runs through the AI model and your feed is restyled for the duration, then returns to your raw webcam.

Rules are the entire configuration. There's no global on/off switch. Landmark Camera fires only when an event matches a rule you've added. Rules work the same way as the triggers on alerts and overlays, so if you've used those, this will feel familiar. See Elements & overlays for the trigger concept.

Before you start

Landmark Camera needs two things set up first: a connected bank for payouts (so paid triggers can pay out and refund) and at least one streaming platform connected. If either is missing, the settings page shows a “complete setup” screen instead. Connect platforms in Platform Connections. There's a walkthrough in Connecting platforms.

Landmark tips are always available as a trigger source (they run through Landmark directly). Landmark direct tips and Landmark Coins share the same event bus, so one tip rule covers both. Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Rumble, and TikTok events become selectable once you connect each platform.

Setting it up

  1. Open Landmark Camera settings. (The old /dashboard/camera link redirects here.)
  2. Add a rule. Pick a platform and event, set a threshold (minimum tip, bits, gift, or a chat command), write a prompt, and set how long it runs.
  3. Turn on moderation buckets and add any custom blocked words you want.
  4. Open the capture window and window-capture it in OBS. Your rules fire while that window is open.

Rules in detail

Each rule is built from a few parts. You only see the fields that apply to the platform and event you pick.

Event & threshold
Choose what fires the rule. A Landmark tip, a Twitch cheer or sub, a YouTube super chat, a Kick or TikTok gift, a chat command, and so on. Depending on the event you can set a minimum amount, a minimum count (bits, months, raiders), a keyword/command, or pick a specific gift.
Prompt
Set prompt uses a fixed prompt you write (e.g. “Gaming tiger, extreme lightning, realistic”). User prompt uses the viewer's own message: whatever they type after a chat command, or the message attached to a tip or super chat. User prompt is only available for events that carry viewer text.
Duration
How long the restyle runs, from 15 to 600 seconds. (We floor at 15s because the model needs a moment to lock onto a new style.)
Cooldowns
Optional rate limits for events without a money throttle (chat commands, tips, free actions): a global cooldown and a per-viewer cooldown, both in seconds.

Pricing & billing

Landmark Camera is billed by the second. Every second a prompt runs costs $0.03 of Landmark usage, charged to your Landmark wallet and settled with the rest of your usage on the 20th of the month. A 60-second restyle costs 60 × $0.03 = $1.80.

Most triggers carry a payout (a tip, a gift, bits), so the settings page shows a profit/loss chip on each rule: the streamer-net payout minus the usage cost. Green means the payout covers the AI cost; red means you cover the rest. Free events (raids, plain chat commands) have no payout, so you cover the whole cost. Good for hype moments, with a cooldown.

Tip pricing modes

For Landmark-tip rules you can choose how a tip maps to time:

Fixed
Any tip at or above your minimum fires the prompt for the duration you set.
Pay-per-second
Tip size sets how many seconds the prompt runs. You set a price per second (as $0.0x/s) and a maximum cap, and the tip is converted to seconds. Capped at the duration limit.

Payout figures are net of platform cuts. Landmark takes 0% of tips; on real tip charges, Stripe card-processing fees come out of your share. See Where your tip goes for the full breakdown.

AR filters & games

Separate from the AI restyle, viewers can buy AR filters that track your face right in the capture window. They render locally on your machine, so they cost you nothing per second: a filter a viewer redeems is pure margin. Turn on the ones you want and set a price on the Filters tab.

  • Produce heads: your head becomes an apple, orange, peanut, tomato, eggplant, banana, strawberry, watermelon, or broccoli, with your own real eyes and mouth stitched on so it blinks and talks.
  • Boxing gloves: giant red gloves lock onto your fists and track your punches.
  • Robot brawl: a robot squares up beside you, and you punch it out before the bell.
  • Would-you-rather: two choices float by your head and you answer by tilting into one.
  • Mood meter, Blink it away, Smile streak: live face-tracked panels and quick mini-games.
  • Hats, Censored, Heart eyes: simple cosmetics and effects.

Filters fire from your tip page (viewers pick and redeem) or from your own event rules on the same Filters tab. Different filter types can run at once (a hat plus a mood meter); two of the same type queue so they never fight for the same spot.

Content filters & moderation

User prompts can be anything a viewer types, so Landmark Camera runs every prompt through a word filter before it queues. A prompt that matches any blocked word is rejected before it runs. Coins spent on it are refunded in full. A tip supports you and the styling rides along as a perk, so a declined prompt does not refund the tip.

The Moderation panel gives you canned buckets plus your own words:

  • Slurs. Racial, ethnic, homophobic, transphobic, ableist. On by default.
  • Sexual. Nudity, sex acts, fetish terms. On by default.
  • Swears. Generic profanity and crude insults. Off by default.
  • Violence. Gore, killing, self-harm. Off by default.

Add your own blocked words in the same panel. You can reveal the exact words in any enabled bucket with Show words to see what's covered.

Getting it into OBS

Two ways, and you can use either.

As a camera device. In Landmark Desktop, camera settings has a Set up camera device button. It asks for administrator once — Windows runs its camera service under a different account, so a webcam has to be registered for the whole machine, which is the same one-time step OBS takes for its own virtual camera. After that Landmark Camera appears wherever webcams do: OBS Video Capture Device, Zoom, Discord, Meet. Nothing to keep on screen and nothing to crop.

As a window. Window-capture the capture window, exactly as before. This needs no setup and no administrator, so it stays the fallback if you would rather not register anything.

The capture window

The capture window is the surface you put on stream. A clean, full-window webcam feed that the AI restyles in place when a prompt is active. In Landmark Desktop it is the app's own window, not a browser: no title bar, no tab, and it keeps running when you hide it. It is on by default, and Hide the window puts it away while the camera keeps going. While it runs it sends a heartbeat, which flips the Landmark Camera is ON indicator in settings; close it and rules stop firing.

The capture window is deliberately chrome-free. It's an OBS source, so control lives in the dashboard and the control dock. The only thing it draws is a draggable, resizable overlay that shows {Username} - {prompt} | {time} for the active prompt. Its position and size persist between sessions, the edit handles appear only on hover (so OBS captures cleanly), and while editing you can nudge with the arrow keys (⇧ for 10px), press R to reset, and read the live x,y · w×h. Press S to skip the active prompt. A coin spend gets 50% of the remaining seconds back; a tip is not refunded.

Output labels

Two settings control what the feed draws on top of the (restyled) video:

  • AI content disclosure. A small “AI-generated” tag shown while styling is live. Off by default; turn it on if your platform or policy wants AI-altered video labelled.
  • Landmark watermark. The Landmark wordmark. On by default.

Control from the dock + testing

The control dock (an OBS custom browser dock or your phone) can skip the active prompt, watch the queue, and test Landmark Camera without leaving your scene. Add the Landmark Camera tab and a Test Landmark Camera deck button. The same test lives in settings. A test fires a real ~15-second styling prompt against your open capture window, so it runs live inference and bills you. There's no free test (you're warned first).

Landmark Camera spending cap

In Output & control you can set a monthly cap on your Landmark Camera usage so it can't run up a surprise bill. The cap applies to Landmark Camera only. No other Landmark feature. When this cycle's Landmark Camera usage reaches the cap, your own test fires are blocked until you raise or clear it.

On-stream status element

Want to show what the camera is doing? Add the Landmark Camera status element to an overlay (Elements → add element). It displays the live prompt, who triggered it, time left, and the queue depth.
