## What it is
Deep-Live-Cam is a Python application that performs real-time face swapping on webcam feeds and one-click video deepfakes using only a single source image. It includes a GUI, virtual camera output via OBS, face enhancement models like GFPGAN, and built-in content restriction checks.

## Use cases
- swap my face in real time on webcam calls
- create a deepfake video from a single photo
- use a virtual avatar as a fake webcam in MS Teams or OBS
- become a vtuber streamer with a custom character face
- replace faces in videos with one click
- generate a random AI face to use as my camera identity
- map multiple faces in a live video to different characters

## When to choose
- you need real-time face swapping on a webcam with a single reference image
- you want a GUI tool with virtual camera support for streaming or video calls
- you want to run face swaps locally on GPU or use a no-GPU Lite edition
- you are an artist or content creator animating custom characters

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade, consent-verified face generation pipelines
- you want offline use of the paid Lite/Ultimate editions without a subscription
- your use case involves real people's likenesses without consent - the project prohibits this
- you need a headless server-side face-swap API rather than a desktop GUI
