From the video this appears to be face detection, with some cute strings attached at random to the detected faces.
I don't see evidence of facial recognition.

In the industry, that’s known as face (or facial) detection, which is a different problem than face recognition.
Face recognition means computing which individual from some other database of people a particular face belongs to.
There’s also face tracking — detecting a face in an image and then tracking the same face across subsequent images. Which is often implemented by using a face recognition approach, but without any predefined catalog of people — you just dynamically fill up your face database as faces appear in the image sequence / video source.
It was detecting faces, not recognizing them.
Recognition implies associating the faces with an ID.
'Face detection' means it can detect faces. 'Face recognition' means it recognizes the faces. A specific example of the difference: license plate detection will detect the presence of a license plate; license plate recognition will tell you the number on that plate.
It displays the faces on the screen, and you recognize them.
Aphex twin did this years ago, replacing his sinister face over the faces of the crowd at his concerts
