Cam Overlay

Cam Overlay is a Linux-based utility that provides a visual preview of a webcam feed as an overlay on the desktop screen. It is intended for use during screen recording sessions, allowing the user to see their camera output while capturing other application windows or desktop activities. The software renders the camera feed in a floating window that remains visible above other active programs, which can be positioned according to the user's preference.

The application interacts with standard Linux video drivers to capture and display the webcam stream. It provides basic controls to manage the visibility and placement of the overlay window. Because it functions as a separate overlay layer, it does not interfere with the primary recording software, allowing users to integrate their camera feed into their workflow without complex configuration. This tool is limited to Linux systems and is distributed under the GPL-3.0-or-later license.
