How to Record with Webcam Overlay

Adding a webcam overlay puts your face alongside your screen recording. This makes demos, tutorials, and walkthroughs more personal and easier to follow.

Steps

1. Open the Launcher and create a new project (or open an existing one). Click Record.

2. Enable the Screen toggle — choose the tab, window, or full screen you want to capture.

3. Enable the Camera toggle — your browser will ask for webcam permission if this is your first time. Allow it.

4. Select the right camera — if you have multiple cameras (built-in + external), use the dropdown below the camera preview to pick the one you want.

5. Enable the Microphone toggle (recommended) — a webcam overlay usually means you're narrating, so turn on your mic too.

6. Click Start Recording, do your walkthrough, then Stop Recording when done.

7. Arrange the layout in Editor — after recording, the Editor opens. Use the Layouts tab to position your camera feed (corner bubble, side by side, or any custom arrangement).

Tips

• Good lighting matters — face a light source (window or desk lamp). Avoid having a bright window behind you.

• Check your background — make sure there's nothing distracting visible behind you.

• Use an external webcam for better quality — built-in laptop cameras are typically lower resolution.

• The webcam does not record audio — always enable the Microphone component separately for voice narration. You can select your camera's built-in mic from the microphone device dropdown.

• Close other apps using the camera — only one app can use the webcam at a time.

  You can reposition and resize the webcam overlay in the Editor after recording. Don't worry about getting the layout perfect before you start.
