Camera View as blurred background? - swift

Question

I try to use my camera's view (blurred) as background in my main menu.
I'm a beginner and have no idea how to do this...
please don't answer with "use ARSCNView"; I've tried this.
(best: send me a code in swift; I shouldn't be too long huh?)

my code

Answer 1

import UIKit
import AVFoundation
class TestingViewController: UIViewController {
let session: AVCaptureSession = AVCaptureSession()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
session.sessionPreset = AVCaptureSession.Preset.high
if let device = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: AVMediaType.video) {
do {
try session.addInput(AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: device))
} catch {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
let previewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: session)
self.view.layer.addSublayer(previewLayer)
previewLayer.frame = self.view.layer.bounds
}
session.startRunning()
let blur = UIBlurEffect(style: .regular)
let blurView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blur)
blurView.frame = self.view.bounds
blurView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
self.view.addSubview(blurView)
}
}
try this updated code and dont forget to add
"Privacy - Camera Usage Description" in your info.plist file
