You can also go semi-pro and download VLC Player (a free, well-respected, open-source video player), set it to capture device then set the window to always on top. On Chrome OS (Chromebooks), use the included Camera app. On macOS, open QuickTime Player and click File > New Movie Recording. If your camera feed comes through flipped horizontally, here's a way to troubleshoot that. On Windows, you can use the Camera app (open the Start menu and search Camera). Open an app that shows a live feed of your webcam.Open the content you want to share (slide show, browser, file, white board, etc.).To share your face and your content at the same time The display options and layouts are only limited by your creativity and ingenuity!Īlright, so let’s cover what we’re really doing here.

It’s a way for one presenter to share their screen and with their screen show content and their camera video feed at the same time. This isn’t a way to recreate the talking heads on cable news. To set expectations, what this won’t do for you is present multiple people’s faces at once on some background with other content. It works better than the built-in side-by-side content and video feature if you ask me. You can even use this in a Teams live event if you want. It’s also fantastic if you’re a teacher presenting slides or a white board in your browser and you want to show your face to keep students more engaged. I see this having a big impact on meetings where there is one or only a few main presenters, not really for meetings where many people discuss or brainstorm back and forth. Think of a newscaster with a graphic above their shoulder or a gamer live-streaming their play with their face in the corner. Microsoft Teams has announced some major changes and improvements when it comes to how people’s faces and content displays during meetings, but there’s still a big need-at least in my opinion-for sharing your face with content in a configurable side-by-side way (and there will remain that need even with the announced updates).
