Hi, I posted a question on this before and got an answer but am still not fully sure on how to implement the idle animation correctly

on https://chat.d-id.com/ the avatar plays an idle animation when not prompted, I would like to get the same behavior in my app

I now know that I can get the idle animation by passing

"script": {
"type": "text",
"ssml": true,
"input": "<break time="1000ms"/>"
}

how are you implementing the idle though on chat.d-id.com. Are you creating and idle movie that's downloaded onto the client and loops in the background and then blended in and out with the streamed response? Or are you actually streaming the idle animation? which would get very costly (so I guess its the first option? create idle clip and than switch between idle and stream response by changing the video src?)

Kind Regards
