Put your face on screen - draggable, blurred background, any site

El Ojo's webcam bubble is a real on-page element you drag anywhere. In a tab recording it's captured exactly where you put it with no compositing; in window and screen recordings it's composited into the frame. AI selfie segmentation blurs or replaces your background, and because the camera is captured off-page, the bubble works even on sites that block in-page cameras.

The draggable camera bubble with background blur, shown as a circle bubble on a page and as a tall portrait card.

How it works

Step 1

Enable the camera

Toggle the camera in the popup and a draggable bubble appears on the page. Move it anywhere - it stays exactly there in the recording.

Step 2

Pick a background

Turn on background blur or a background image. AI selfie segmentation separates you from behind you, in real time.

Step 3

Record - it just captures

The bubble is a real on-page element, so the tab recorder captures it naturally. No compositing math, and only ever one bubble.

Why the bubble is different

Any site

Works where cameras are blocked

The webcam is captured in an offscreen document, immune to a page's Permissions-Policy. So the bubble shows even on sites that block in-page camera access.

No compositing

Recorded where you drag it

In a tab recording the bubble is a genuine on-page element, so the capture needs no coordinate math and there's never a doubled bubble.

Background

Blur or replace it

Real-time selfie segmentation blurs the background, fills it with a color, or swaps in an image - with a feathered, temporally-smoothed edge.

Shapes

Circle, square, or 9:16 portrait

Pick the bubble shape; portrait gives a tall 9:16 card that's ready for Reels and Shorts.

Resilient

Survives page navigation

Click a link mid-recording and the bubble re-creates itself on the new page - right where you left it.

Camera-only

Full-frame talking head

Prefer just your face? Camera-only mode records the webcam full-frame for an intro or outro.

Frequently asked

Camera bubble FAQ

Does the bubble work on sites that block the camera?

Yes. The webcam is captured in an offscreen document that isn't subject to the page's camera policy, so the bubble works even where an in-page camera would be blocked.

Is the camera in the recording, or added later?

It's captured live - the bubble is a real on-page element that the tab recorder picks up naturally, exactly where you dragged it. No post-editing needed.

Can I blur or change my background?

Yes - AI selfie segmentation blurs the background, fills it with a color, or replaces it with an image, in real time.

Can I move and resize the bubble?

Drag it anywhere; pick circle, square, or a tall 9:16 portrait card. It records wherever you place it.

What happens if the page navigates mid-recording?

The bubble re-creates itself on the new page at the same position, so a link click never interrupts the recording.
