Webcam Overlay

Customize how your webcam feed appears in the final video. Webcam settings are configured per segment, so you can change the layout, position, and style at different points in your recording.

Layouts

Recorded offers several layout options for your webcam overlay:

Picture-in-Picture (PIP)

Place the webcam as a small overlay in any corner of the video:

• Bottom Right — The default position, most natural for right-to-left reading
• Bottom Left
• Top Right
• Top Left

PIP size is adjustable from 10% to 50% of the video dimensions.

Split View

Display the webcam and screen recording side by side:

• Split Left — Webcam on the left, screen recording on the right
• Split Right — Webcam on the right, screen recording on the left

The split ratio is adjustable from 20% to 50%.

Full and Hidden

• Full — The webcam fills the entire frame, replacing the screen recording
• Hidden — The webcam is not visible (useful for temporarily hiding it in specific segments)

Shape

The webcam overlay uses a squircle shape — a rounded square with smooth, Apple-style continuous corners.

Styling

Style options are in the Style section of the Webcam tab:

• Border — Pick a border color and set the width from 0 to 8px (0 means no border)
• Shadow — Set the drop shadow intensity from 0% to 100%
• Opacity — Control the webcam overlay transparency from 20% to 100%

Transitions

Webcam transitions are automatic. When the layout changes between segments, the webcam smoothly morphs from one position and size to the next, and it scales in or out when it appears or disappears. There are no transition settings to configure.

Auto-Resize with Zoom

The webcam PIP automatically resizes when a zoom effect is active, preventing it from taking up too much screen space during zoomed-in sections. This is enabled by default and can be toggled off in the webcam settings if you prefer a fixed size.
