Screencast-o-matic is the tool that I use to develop nearly all of the videos that appear on my YouTube channel. Screencast-o-matic is available in a browser-based version and in a desktop “luxurious” version. I use the desktop variation unless Im using my Chromebook..
The luxurious version of Screencast-o-matic is the paid variation that costs $1.65/ month. With that variation comes the option to crop and resize the webcam view that you can overlay on your screencast. One of those cropping choices is to utilize an oval. Thats what I do. Screencast-o-matic also provides the option to have a highlighted circle follow your mouse guideline on your screen. When Im making longer videos Ill likewise make use of the clip merging tools, shift tools, and text overlay tools that are available in Screencast-o-matic.
