Floatcam is a simple, lightweight, and easy-to-use camera app that can be used alongside any screen recorder. It floats on top of other apps, so you can easily record your screen and your face at the same time.
Why Floatcam?

There are a lot of screen recorders out there, but most of them do not have a built-in camera. For those with a camera, it's either not floating, can't be moved around, is not customizable, or requires paying for a premium version.
A Brief History of Floatcam
---
The default screen recorder on macOS (Quicktime) does have a way to record the screen and the camera. However, it is not customizable and can sometimes get in the way of the recording. On Linux, I used Kazam, a great screen recorder, but it does not have a built-in camera. One thing all these screen recorders have in common is that they are not customizable.
Loom, a popular screen recorder lets you do some of these things but it's not free. It features a floating camera, a screen recorder, and a video editor. It's a great tool, but you have a recording limit of 5 minutes for the free version.
Since there are lots of excellent FREE screen recorders out there and all I wanted was a floating camera, I decided to make my own. I thought it would be nice to have a simple camera app that you can use alongside any screen recorder.
I hope you enjoy using Floatcam as much as I enjoyed making it. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, feel free to contact me on Twitter.
