Questions
Is Video Sprites private?
When you are using the Video Sprites blocks, the video is not stored on your computer or sent to Scratch or any other site.
What if my camera is not working?
When you use the Video Sprites blocks, for example by clicking on “fill sprite with camera,” you should see video from your computer camera appear. If it doesn’t appear, you may need to give Scratch permission to use your camera. Click “allow” when Scratch prompts for permission to use the camera, or check your web browser’s settings. If you are using your computer camera in another app while Video Sprites is running—for example, a video call—try turning off your camera in that app.
What can I do if Video Sprites seems slow or laggy?
Video Sprites may run slowly on some computers. You can try closing other applications and other browser tabs.
What is Scratch Lab?
This is an experimental version of the Scratch editor, where the Scratch Team is testing out new blocks on Scratch. We’re sharing this work in progress so we can get feedback to help us improve it. Learn more about Scratch Lab. When will these blocks be on Scratch?
We’re still exploring, gathering feedback, and revising this extension before we decide if it might go into the main Scratch site. Some Scratch Lab blocks may never make it to Scratch.
Can I save my Scratch Lab projects?
Yes, you can download projects you create with Scratch Lab to your computer, and load them back into the same Scratch Lab editor.
Can I upload Scratch Lab projects to my regular Scratch account?
No. You cannot upload Scratch Lab projects to your regular Scratch account, or share them on the Scratch community.
