ShowCam

Presentation recording — your material full-screen, your camera on top, one finished video.

ShowCam records a presentation. Whatever you want to show — a set of photos, a video, a live web page, a PDF — fills the screen, your camera rides on top as a bubble, and the whole thing is captured into a single video with your narration.

Everything stays interactive while you record. Swipe through slides, scrub the video, tap links, scroll the page. When you stop, you have one finished file. No editing, no stitching together.

No account. No sign-up. Your recordings never leave your device unless you share them.

Key Features

  • Four things to present: a photo slideshow with optional auto-advance, a video from your library, a fully interactive web browser with its own URL bar, or a PDF, Markdown or text file.
  • Everything stays live: pinch to zoom a photo or video, scrub the timeline, mute or loop a clip, tap through a website. You record a real session, not a static screenshot.
  • Camera bubble: front or rear camera, dragged wherever it doesn’t cover the important part.
  • Laser pointer: draw attention to exactly the right spot. The trail tapers away on its own so it never clutters the shot.
  • Two ways to stop: keep a small draggable REC timer on screen, or hide it completely and stop with a volume button — so nothing you don’t want ends up in the video.
  • Narration mixed in: your voice and the app’s own audio are recorded together, in sync, automatically.
  • Save and share: every take lands in your library with a thumbnail, saves to Photos automatically when it stops, and shares straight out.

What ShowCam Records

ShowCam records the material you open inside ShowCam. It is not a system-wide screen recorder — it cannot capture other apps, and it cannot draw on top of them. Anything you want in the video goes into ShowCam first.

Free & Pro

Free covers all four presentation sources, both cameras, the laser pointer, saving and sharing — with no watermark on your video. The one limit is time: 30 minutes of recording per day. A take that runs past the limit still stops cleanly and is still saved, and the allowance resets at midnight.

ShowCam Pro adds:

  • Unlimited recording.
  • Pen and highlighter, with undo, for persistent markup on what you’re presenting.
  • Background effects: blur the room behind you, swap in a virtual background, or cut yourself out entirely.
  • Camera styling: custom size, corner shape, position, border and shadow for the bubble.
  • No ads.

Pro is available as a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Why You’ll Love It

If you have ever tried to explain something over a screen share and wished you could just hand someone the recording, this is that. Teachers walking through a worksheet, founders talking over a deck, support teams showing where the button is, anyone reviewing a set of photos out loud — ShowCam turns the thing you were going to describe into something you can simply show.
