How to record your screen with a webcam and microphone
You need three things captured at once: the page, your voice and your camera. Most people record them separately and stitch them together in an editor. ReelCap composites all three live — the camera becomes a bubble in the corner of the video, and your microphone is mixed with the page's own audio into a single track.
Doing it without an extension
- 1Start a meeting in a video call app, share your screen and record the meeting to get a screen-plus-camera file.
- 2Or run a desktop recorder for the screen and record your camera separately in another app.
- 3Record the demo while narrating, and stop both recordings when you're done.
- 4Import everything into an editor, line up the audio, and position the camera track over the screen track.
Where that falls short
- Separate takes drift out of sync, and lining up voice with clicks by hand costs more time than the recording itself.
- Meeting recorders stamp their own layout, participant tiles and sometimes a watermark onto the output.
- You still get the whole window rather than just the page, so cropping is still on the to-do list.
Doing it with ReelCap
- 1In ReelCap's settings, grant microphone and camera access once, then pick which devices to use.
- 2Set the bubble's shape, corner and size — a circle in the bottom right is a safe default.
- 3On the tab you want to demo, open the popup and switch on Microphone and Camera bubble, plus Tab audio if the page makes sound.
- 4Record, stop, and download a single file that already has the page, your voice and your face in it.
Every step happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and the export carries no watermark.
