How to Screen Record with Webcam Overlay

Add a webcam bubble to your screen recording so viewers see your face alongside the content. Face-cam recordings build trust, increase engagement, and perform better on social media and landing pages.

Step-by-step

1
Select your screen capture area
Open Screenify and choose what to record — a specific window, custom area, or full screen. The webcam overlay will float on top of whatever you capture.
2
Enable webcam overlay
Toggle the webcam button in the Screenify toolbar. Your camera feed appears as a circular overlay in the corner. You can drag it to any corner before or during recording.
3
Position and resize the overlay
Drag the webcam bubble to the bottom-left or bottom-right corner — away from important UI elements. Resize it by dragging the edge. Smaller is usually better; the screen content should be the star.
4
Enable background removal (optional)
Turn on AI background removal to replace your room with a clean transparent or blurred backdrop. This keeps the focus on your face and the screen, not your bookshelf.
5
Record and check framing
Hit Record. Glance at the overlay to make sure your face is centered and well-lit. Natural light from a window in front of you works best. Avoid backlighting.
