Here's the official report from Microsoft:
The Azure Media Services Face Detector preset will be retired and is not being replaced at this time. If you would like to instead detect people in a video, we recommend you update your applications to use the Video Indexer APIs for detecting observed people and matching observed people to faces and submit a request to get access to the Limited Access program for these features.
If you are currently using the Video Analyzer preset, we recommend updating your applications to use the Video Indexer APIs for video analysis, which offers an extended range of capabilities.
