You've seen that Cadoo can turn a verified workout into a shareable highlight clip. A skin is what gives that clip its look. It's the styling layer — the difference between a plain motion trace and a polished, branded piece of content you'll actually want to post. Here's what a skin is, where it shows up, and how it works with your shareables.
What a skin is
A skin is a styled look that gets applied to your shareable clip. Think of it as an outfit and branding for your highlight: a coordinated kit — like a jersey, shorts, a headband, wristbands, and a logo or badge — that dresses up the clip. Every Cadoo shareable comes with the default Cadoo look, and games can carry their own branded kit for something more custom.
Where skins show up
Skins live on your shareable video — the highlight clip you get after a camera workout like pushups, squats, situps, pullups or dips. A skin isn't a separate avatar or a menu screen; it's layered right onto your real footage. As you move through your reps, the skin moves with you.
How a skin works
It's powered by the same pose tracking that counts your reps. As Cadoo maps the key points of your body through the workout, a skin's pieces are anchored to those points and follow you frame by frame — the jersey on your torso, the headband on your head, and so on, scaling and rotating to match how you move. When a skin is applied, it takes the place of the plain motion-tracing overlay: the skin becomes the look of the clip.
Today's skins are 2D styling composited onto your footage. A richer, more three-dimensional look is on the roadmap for the future.
The default look vs branded kits
By default, your shareables wear Cadoo's own styling, so every clip is clearly a Cadoo win. Games — especially branded or sponsored ones — can bring their own kit, so a highlight from that game comes dressed in that brand's colors and logo. The right skin is matched to the game automatically, falling back to the Cadoo look when no custom kit applies.
How skins and shareables work together
Skins and shareables are really one experience. You do a camera workout, Cadoo verifies it and builds your shareable, and the clip comes styled in the right skin — Cadoo's by default, or a game's branded kit. The result is a highlight that's verified, personal, and ready to share. Want the full picture on the clips themselves? See how Cadoo shareables work.
It's the fun layer on top of the fairness: your reps are real and camera-verified, and skins make the proof look great.
Frequently asked questions
What is a skin in Cadoo?
A styled look layered onto your shareable clip — from the default Cadoo look to a branded game kit — composited onto your body using pose tracking.
Where do skins appear?
On your shareable highlight video, not a separate avatar or screen. When a skin is applied it replaces the plain motion overlay.
How do I get a branded skin?
Branded and sponsored games can carry their own kit, so your highlight comes styled in that look automatically; otherwise you get the Cadoo look.
