Camera layouts and virtual backgrounds for presenter-led walkthroughs
Presenter video can stay part of the screen-recording layout, with blur or image backgrounds when the room should not be part of the demo.
Overlay system
A Mac Screen Recorder With More Than a Webcam Overlay
Quick Answer
Screen UI is a Mac screen recorder with overlays for camera layouts, virtual camera backgrounds, text, shapes, images, captions, keyboard shortcuts, cursor playback, and canvas styling. It is built for product demos and tutorials where viewers need labels, callouts, presenter video, and polished visual context in the exported recording.
Camera bubbles are useful, but product videos often need labels, callouts, screenshots, shapes, captions, and layout polish. Screen UI keeps those overlay tools inside the screen-recording editor.
Why it matters
Built for Mac screen recorder with overlays searches and real demo workflows.
Screen UI supports camera, text, shape, image, caption, keyboard-shortcut, cursor, and canvas overlays for product demos that need more visual explanation.
Text, shape, and image overlays for callouts
Callouts can explain specific controls, settings, and interface states directly in the editor.
Caption, transcript, and keyboard-shortcut overlays
Caption-driven and keyboard overlays help demos work when viewers watch without sound or need to see exact commands.
Canvas controls for background, spacing, shadows, and rounded corners
Canvas styling turns raw capture into a polished product demo before export.
Workflow
How this works in Screen UI.
- Record the screen, a window, or a selected area with optional camera and microphone.
- Add overlays in the editor and position them against the final canvas.
- Preview and export the same composed layout as video, GIF, or animated WebP.
Use cases
Where this feature helps.
- Add feature labels directly over a product walkthrough
- Use shapes to highlight a button, form, or setting
- Mix camera presence with captions and visual callouts
- Prepare launch clips without switching to a general-purpose video editor
