What Is Screen and Webcam Recording?

Screen and webcam recording captures your screen and your camera at the same time, so viewers see both your screen and your face.

What Is Screen and Webcam Recording?

Screen and webcam recording combines two feeds, the screen you are showing and the camera pointed at you, into one video. The webcam usually sits in a small window over the screen, so the presence of a person comes through alongside the content.

It suits anything where a face adds trust or warmth, like demos, feedback, and personal updates.

For example, a rep records a demo with their webcam in the corner so the prospect sees who is talking.
