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

If you see it in other places, it has actually been used without approval.
