Many screen recording tools let you capture both your screen and webcam simultaneously. This is especially useful for creating walkthroughs, presentations, or training videos where you want to stay visually present while guiding viewers through content.

Cinema8 supports dual recording directly from your browser or Chrome extension. You can choose to display your webcam feed alongside your screen recording or switch between them depending on the flow of your content.
