Webcam Overlay

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. Full answer →

You can disable the webcam overlay entirely before starting a recording by toggling it off in the extension settings. Once recording has begun, the overlay state is fixed for that session — you cannot hide or reveal it mid-session. If you want to remove the webcam from a completed recording, you can annotate over it in the editor, though full removal from an existing recording is not supported. For clean results, disable the webcam before you start. Full answer →

By default, the webcam bubble is positioned in the bottom-right corner of the recording. Before starting, you can drag the bubble to any corner or position on screen — top-left, bottom-left, and top-right are common alternatives. The position you set before recording is the position that appears in the final video output. If the default corner overlaps with important interface elements in your recording, reposition it to a clear area before you start. Full answer →
