logo DispLayover

Overlay a camera preview on your screen similar to Loom's circle presenter feature:

See a demonstration of DispLayover in use on YouTube!



Initially bsed on https://benoitpasquier.com/webcam-utility-app-macos-swiftui/

Works well in conjunction with QuickTime for screen recording.

Usage

See the application menus (with shortcuts listed) for functions such as:

  • (CMD-#) Changing camera
  • (CMD-n) Changing overlay shape
  • (CMD-f) Changing mirroring
  • (CMD-e) Toggling animation

When focused, the title bar is present with action buttons and can be used for easily finding the corner for resizing the overlay.

Drag SVG files with polygons onto the window to change the overlay shape!

Pressing the "?" button when hovering will take you to this page. Hi!

Installing

The easiest way to install DispLayover is via the Apple App Store.

See the "Building" section if you want to build and run it on your own.
