Face landmark inference runs in the broadcaster's browser. The raw local camera
track is not added to the published stream; only the rendered avatar canvas is
published. MediaPipe states that input images stay on device, while API
performance and utilization metrics may be sent to Google; the host UI discloses
this before the broadcaster enables face tracking.
