# HeyGen turns HTML into video and adds Custom Motion for avatars

By Steven Van · 2026-06-06

The May 2026 release also brings a real-time Digital Twin, four workflow integrations and a full Android app.

[HeyGen](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/heygen>)'s [May 2026 release](<https://www.heygen.com/blog/heygen-may-2026-release>) covers eighteen updates, including a new HTML-to-video tool, more direct control over avatars, four workflow integrations, and an Android app.

- **HyperFrames** turns HTML into video: a community hub for publishing and remixing compositions, an HTML-in-Canvas mode for 3D motion, a texture and shader catalog, a live inspector, open-source captions in fifteen styles, templates and variables for rendering at scale on Lambda, and a one-click Vercel deploy for a private render API.

- **Avatar V: Custom Motion** lets you direct an avatar's face, hands, posture, gaze and energy in plain English, for example "look at the camera, lean in, stay serious." An **Avatar V API** is now available at five cents per second, and **LiveAvatar integrations** let a Digital Twin hold a real-time conversation in the same face and voice used for recorded video.

- Four new integrations let you generate avatar video without leaving the tool you're in: Superhuman (reply to email threads with a video), Codex (generate product demos and tutorials from your editor), Canva (add an avatar to an existing slide), and Lovable (add HeyGen as an MCP connector to prompt avatar video into an app you're building).

- The full HeyGen app is now available on Android, so recording, generating and sharing video no longer requires a laptop.
