Set Webcam Layout

When you start a screen recording, you may want to incorporate a camera in addition to the content that is captured. The camera layout controls how the camera is presented and integrated into the screen recording.

Part 1. What Is Camera Layout?

Camera layout involves the position, arrangement, and resizing of the camera within your screen recording. You have the flexibility to choose where the camera appears within the frame of the screen recording, such as in a corner, alongside, behind, or overlaid on the screen content.

Part 2. How to Apply Default Camera Layout?

To accommodate the size and arrangement of your screen recording canvas, FocuSee provides a variety of basic camera setups. There are six predefined camera configuration options in FocuSee, depending on whether your canvas is oriented vertically or horizontally. As an alternative, you can freely manually modify the camera feed's size and position to suit your own needs. You can simply turn off the camera display if you don't want your face to be seen during the screen capture.

Find the Camera icon on the left panel and select the layout that best fits your needs to use FocuSee's default camera arrangement.

Apply Default Camera Layout

For horizontally oriented canvases, the default camera layouts allow you to arrange your camera feed above or behind the screen recording. Alternatively, you can position the camera and screen recording side by side.

Horizontally Oriented Canvases

For vertical canvases, the default camera layout places the camera feed in the center of the screen recording area, placing the camera and screen capture in a vertical sequence.
