Webcam Screen Recorder for Chrome — With Blur

SuperchargeCapture puts the camera right in the recorder. Turn on the camera bubble for a tab recording, optionally blur the background, and record the tab and your face together in a single take.

A screen recording with your face in the corner lands differently than a faceless one. The tutorial feels like a person explaining it, the product demo feels like a pitch from someone real, the bug report feels like a colleague walking you through it. The problem is usually the setup: a separate webcam app, a compositing step afterward, or a tool that ships the whole thing to a cloud before you can use it.

A Live Webcam Bubble

The webcam appears as a circular overlay on top of the tab you’re capturing, and it belongs to tab recordings, the same source that powers auto-zoom. You keep it where it won’t cover what matters: bottom-right for a standard talking-head, or off to a corner when you need the center of the screen clear. The bubble is draggable and resizable as you record, so you can move it out of the way mid-take. The “This tab” source is picked in the extension itself, not through the operating system’s screen picker.

When you have more than one camera, a device picker in the recording options lets you choose which one the bubble uses. You can also switch the live view off and record the camera as a separate stream. The editor composites it for you, and you can reposition, resize, and reshape it afterwards. In the editor the bubble switches between circle and square, the self-view can be mirrored, and a soft border ring is a toggle.

On-Device Background Blur

Recording from a real room means whatever is behind you is in the shot. The optional background blur softens it, and it does so on your device. The camera feed is processed locally to produce the blur; your video isn’t streamed to a server to be cleaned up and handed back. That keeps a feature people usually associate with cloud meeting apps fully private: the unblurred feed never leaves your machine.

Built to Combine

The webcam shines in combination with the rest of the recorder. It rides on tab recording, so you talk over a demo without lining up files afterward. The microphone records your voice in the same take, and its live level meter shows your audio as you talk so you can confirm it before you start. In editable camera mode the bubble composites above the footage as its own layer; a live bubble is baked into the footage instead. The pieces are designed to stack into one polished recording rather than forcing you to assemble them from separate tools.

And the screen recording is crash-safe. The footage is written to the browser’s private storage in roughly one-second chunks, so with the live bubble on your camera is part of that footage and protected the same way. A crash mid-take leaves the chunks already written on your device; what is lost is the part that had not been flushed yet.

Privacy

The webcam feed is recorded locally and stays on your device, exactly like the screen capture it accompanies. Background blur is computed on-device, there’s no account, no telemetry, and nothing is injected into pages until you start recording. The only way any recording goes anywhere is if you choose to use the optional Share to Drive button, which uploads to your own Google Drive.
