They don't let you upload facefusion videos. The video has to come from the front-facing camera on a phone.

There is an extremely profitable company (whose data hoard keeps geting hacked but why should they care?) built around this:

Most apps use device attestation (derived from secure boot) to make sure the video stream is really coming from a front-facing camera on a physical device. If Hinge isn't doing this yet they surely will be in 5, 4, 3, 2...

Can someone not just have an additional device and play a video on top of it?

Fundamentally no amount of front facing camera on a physical device or other shenanigan a company might do can really do anything about it?

I know, but you need to think like someone trying to get around the limitation with the lowest effort possible.

They don't feed it a video clip. They hold the camera in front of a screen playing the video. Use a low-end phone with a blurry camera to increase your chances.
