A tiny, free macOS app that floats a circular webcam bubble on your screen. No menubar, no chrome — just your face in a draggable circle, always on top.
You want to record a demo or walkthrough with QuickTime (or any screen recorder) and show your face too — but you don't want to buy software. Open CamBubble, start your screen recording, done.
- Screen recordings with a face cam overlay
- QuickTime demo videos with a personal touch
- Loom-style recordings without Loom
- Livestreaming setups where you need a floating camera preview
- Video calls where you want to see how you look on a second display

To quit, right-click the bubble and select "Quit CamBubble" (or Cmd+Q).
