Android 15 could bring better video stabilization to all camera apps — here’s how

Google Pixel 8a in hand.

Android 15 may be set to make third party camera apps even better, meaning the quality of your videos won’t necessarily take a dive just because you recorded in something other than the stock camera app. It’s all thanks to a new API called Eyes Free videography.

According to Mishal Rahman at Android Authority, Eyes Free videography will be joining other APIs as part of Android’s Camera2 extension API. This is apparently coded to “lock and stabilize a given region or object of interest”. This should mean that camera apps that utilize the Camera2 API will produce more stable video — potentially on par with the stock camera app.
