CALLING THE CLUB: BAYC Members Will Soon Be Able To Appear As Their Apes On Camera Thanks To Dutch's ApeFLTR And Yuga Labs!

Whether you're live streaming or simply FaceTiming a fren, video chats are about to become anything but boring around the swamp!

Earlier this month, ApeFLTR Studios announced that it has something brewing with Yuga Labs that will soon let Bored Ape Yacht Club members become their Apes on Zoom calls, livestreams, and more.

“Let’s make video meetings fun again,” the company tweeted on May 19th. “Soon, every BAYC holder will be able to verify their BAYC in the APE FLTR app and instantly appear on Zoom and livestreams as their fully animated BAYC. No mint. No claim. Just free technology for the BAYC community. Follow @APEFLTR to stay updated.”

 

 

As the Gazette previously reported, ApeFLTR is a Made By Apes brand founded by BAYC member Dutch that specializes in wearable augmented reality filters and digital identity tools designed to bring digital collectibles into the real world.

If all goes according to plan, BAYC holders will soon be able to verify ownership of their Ape and gain access to their primate's AR avatar, allowing them to bring a whole new vibe to livestreams, video calls, and content creation.

“I’ve been a proud BAYC holder since 2021, and ApeFLTR has been a passion project years in the making,” Dutch said. I created all 10,000 AR filters because I believe our Apes deserve to evolve from static JPEGs into living digital identities. Being able to bring this technology to the entire BAYC community for free, with the support of Yuga, feels incredibly rewarding. I’m especially grateful to Figge. He’s a legend, he moves fast, and without his support behind the scenes this would not be happening. This is my way of giving something meaningful back to the club that inspired me to build.”

The Gazette will continue to follow all things ApeFLTR and will let you know when and how BAYC members can get their AR Apes and start pinging people as their primates. Stay tuned for updates!
