Frequently asked
Does the Webcam Overlay slow down recording?
No, the webcam feed is composited locally in your browser using canvas rendering, without sending additional data off-device during the session.
Processing overhead is minimal on modern hardware, and there is no measurable impact on recording frame rate or video quality. If you are on older hardware with limited GPU resources, you may notice a slight increase in CPU usage, but this does not affect the quality of the captured video output.
Quick reference
No impact on recording quality or frame rate on standard hardware.
