Enhanced webcam overlay and shortcut display during screen recording
Technical Positioning
Professional video creation tool with advanced customization
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This feature request targets critical functionality for professional content creators using Recordly. The demand for customizable webcam overlays (position, shape, frame removal) and on-screen shortcut display during recording indicates users require advanced production capabilities. Current limitations force post-production workarounds or reduce video quality. Addressing these features would significantly enhance Recordly's value proposition for product demos, tutorials, and professional videos, aligning it more closely with dedicated commercial screen recording solutions. Failure to implement risks user churn to more feature-rich alternatives, despite its open-source nature.

[Feature]: 希望在录屏同时开启摄像头录制的过程中能够在桌面显示摄像头的画面，且可以自由调节摄像头画面位置和画面形状，如果能够达到扣掉摄像头画框直接摄像头画面悬浮于录屏画面之上那就更好了

Developer Debate & Comments
Translation: [Feature]: I hope that while screen recording is being done with the webcam, the webcam image can be displayed on the desktop, and its position and shape can be freely adjusted. It would be even better if the webcam image could be removed from the frame and float directly above the screen recording.
写中文，用AI转化需求啊。服了，你这个老6
I hope that in the process of recording the screen and turning on the camera recording at the same time, the camera picture can be displayed on the desktop, and the position and shape of the camera picture can be freely adjusted. It would be better if the camera picture frame can be removed and the camera picture can be directly suspended on the screen recording screen；Another function suggestion is to add the shortcut key display function during the screen recording process. Thank you for your hard work.
现在翻译那么方便的，用什么语言反馈留言已经不重要了吧？哈哈，好吧好吧，我已经翻译了英文贴上去了，希望能实现，谢谢！
This would be a great feature. A floating preview window of your camera during recording

Same here, i am using Fedora.
same issue, they said "Linux currently use Electron's capture path, which means the OS cursor cannot always be hidden during recording." so i think is the reason why but idk lmk if this can be fixed
[fix(linux): restore cursor follow with linux bounds + hook mouse cache](https://github.com/webadderall/Recordly/commit/a648c3fecaab290be8b96d412053b9a23f1937e5) Let me know if this changes anything
