kap-cam

A Kap plugin that adds a Loom-like Webcam overlay to recordings.

Installation

This requires using the terminal currently. The package is yet to be included by npms.io. It uses e.g. the number of stars of a repository to determine whether to include a package.

1. Open your terminal and enter the following command to download and make available the plugin to kap:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Kap/plugins/
npm remove kap-camera
git clone https://github.com/thunfischbrot/kap-cam
npm link ./kap-cam
sed -i '' 's/"dependencies": {/"dependencies": {\n    "kap-cam": "latest",/' package.json
npm link

2. Open Kap Preferences
3. Select the Plugins pane, and switch to Discover tab.
4. In the list of plugins, find cam and toggle it on.

Usage

To enable or disable the overlay:

1. Right click the Kap menu icon or click the … icon in the cropper.
2. In the Plugins menu, check or uncheck Show Camera

Note that the Camera window does not appear until you start a recording.

Notes

This is based off of @karaggeorge's kap-camera plugin, which was forked by @clearlysid, which was forked by @maticrivo. The repos seem to be inactive, with some features broken, so I decided to fork and maintain my own. Feel free to raise issues, leave feedback or contribute in any way you see fit.
