# Adding background filters to your application for the Amazon Chime SDK
<a name="add-filters"></a>

The process of adding background filters follows these broad steps:
+ Check for supported browsers.
+ Create a `VideoFxConfig` object with the configuration you want to use.
+ Use the configuration object to create a `VideoFxProcessor` object.
+ Include the `VideoFxProcessor` object in a `VideoTransformDevice` .
+ Use the `VideoTransformDevice` to start the video input.

**Note**  
To complete those steps, you must first:  
Create a `Logger`.
Choose a video device of class `MediaDeviceInfo`.
Successfully join a `MeetingSession`.

Steps in the following sections explain how to complete the process.
