Agora adds virtual background tools to Web UIKit
Agora announced an update to its Web UIKit, introducing a virtual background extension for video chat websites. This feature allows users to blur, replace with an image, or color their video call backgrounds using Agora's technology.
Key Takeaways
- Agora launched a virtual background extension for the Agora Web UIKit.
- The extension supports background blur in video chat websites.
- Users can replace their video call background with an image.
- Users can also switch to a solid color background.
Why It Matters
Agora is adding a common video-call feature directly into its Web UIKit, which lowers the work needed for developers building chat experiences on the web. The update keeps the focus on background handling inside Agora’s own video stack, rather than requiring separate tools for blur or replacement. For StreamingMeme readers, the key signal is whether Agora expands this extension beyond blur, image replacement, and color options in future Web UIKit updates.
