Media Services Face Detector retirement and migration
Warning
Azure Media Services will be retired June 30th, 2024. For more information, see the AMS Retirement Guide.
This article discusses Media Services Face Detector retirement and migration.
Important
As Microsoft's Responsible AI Standards outlines, Microsoft is committed to fairness, privacy, security, and transparency with respect to AI systems. To align with these standards, Azure Media Services is retiring the Video Analyzer preset on September 14, 2023. This preset currently allows you to extract multiple video and audio insights from a video file. Customers can replace their current workflows using the more advanced feature set offered by Azure Video Indexer.
There will not be a direct replacement for the Face Detector. If you would like to instead detect people in a video, we recommend updating your applications to use the Video Indexer APIs for detecting observed people and matching observed people to faces.
Important
Azure Video Indexer is not available in China Regions. Therefore, any audio and video analyzer preset usage in China regions will need to migrate to Azure AI Services.
