Floating Head, show yourself

Floating Head displays a movable webcam window over other Mac apps for demonstrations and recordings.

Our take

Pick it for adding your face to a screen presentation with minimal setup.

A persistent camera overlay and configurable shape avoid assembling a full streaming scene for a simple tutorial.

Keep in mind: It supplies an overlay, not a recorder or broadcaster; your recording or meeting app must capture the intended screen for viewers to see it.

What you can do

  • Show a chosen camera in an always-on-top window
  • Adjust shape, size, border and mirror mode
  • Toggle visibility with a shortcut across desktop Spaces

Good for

  • Teachers and creators adding a facecam to an existing recording workflow.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting multiscene production, automatic editing or recording inside the overlay app.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 14.0.
  • It supplies an overlay, not a recorder or broadcaster; your recording or meeting app must capture the intended screen for viewers to see it.

Privacy & permissions

The policy says the camera feed stays on-device and is not stored or transmitted by Floating Head; a separate screen recorder or meeting app can still record and send it.
