kap-selfie

Kap plugin - Show a camera while recording

A fork of karaggeorge/kap-camera with fixes for modern macOS (14+) and Apple Silicon.

What was fixed

• Deprecated Swift API: Replaced AVCaptureDevice.devices(for:) with AVCaptureDevice.DiscoverySession using .builtInWideAngleCamera, .external, and .continuityCamera device types.
• Build target: Universal binary supporting both Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x86_64), targeting macOS 14.0.
• Electron compatibility: Added contextIsolation: false and enableRemoteModule: true to webPreferences for Electron 13+.

Install

In the Kap menu, go to Preferences…, select the Plugins pane, search for kap-selfie, and toggle it.

Usage

In the cropper or by right-clicking the tray icon, click the … icon, then Plugins and make sure Show Camera is enabled.

The plugin creates a window showing the selected camera on the bottom-left corner of the recording. The window is click-through and its hover opacity and size can be adjusted.

To move the window, hold Command before you hover over it, then click and drag it anywhere on the screen.
