feat: add floating camera preview on desktop - #1288
Add a floating camera preview to the recording HUD on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The preview is draggable, preserves the full camera frame when resized, and has three sizes plus show/hide controls. Its HUD control disappears when the camera is off.
Platform
Preview behavior
Capture exclusion
macOS
Reuses the recorder’s camera stream before and during recording.
A stable preview window is reserved before ScreenCaptureKit exclusion IDs are collected.
Windows
Reuses the renderer stream while idle and the native recorder’s camera frames during recording, without opening a second camera session.
The preview window uses Windows content protection.
Linux
Available while idle and during native window recording.
Automatically hidden for monitor, virtual, unknown-source, and browser-fallback recordings because the ScreenCast portal cannot exclude an individual app window. Camera recording continues normally.
Camera selection remains stable when audio preferences change on all three platforms. The branch is rebased onto main at 5d82a0cb, with no merge commits above that base.
Linux limitation: this does not provide a visible, capture-excluded preview during full-monitor recording. Acceptance of the window-recording-only behavior still needs maintainer confirmation.
Related issue
Refs #1278. Visible preview excluded from Linux full-monitor capture remains unsupported.

Screenshots / video
The requested end-to-end demo recordings are still outstanding. Each clip must show the preview during a real recording, followed by the exported video with no floating preview baked into the screen footage.
macOS: real recording and export demo.
Windows: real recording and export demo using the rebuilt native helper.
Linux: native window recording and export demo; also show that monitor recording hides the preview.
The latest macOS smoke check covered device settings and the HUD preview control appearing/disappearing with the camera. It did not validate the separate preview window, recording exclusion, or export. Windows and Linux desktop validation has not been performed. These gaps are recorded in the manual E2E checklist.
Recording performance
The earlier macOS-only revision measured 17.5% average process-tree CPU with preview hidden and 22.3% shown, with zero native screen-writer dropped frames over that take. These were single sequential 30-second samples on macOS 26.7 / Apple M5 Pro, not a statistical benchmark. Windows mailbox and Linux runtime performance have not been measured.
npm run lint:fix passed with 35 existing warnings; no fixes applied.
Translation and documentation checks passed.
Native preview bitmap tests compiled with C++20 and passed on macOS, covering BGRA/NV12 conversion, orientation, scaling, and malformed buffers. The Windows build script also runs them.
Publisher/controller tests cover Windows camera handoff, all-platform publishing, Linux suspension, visibility restoration, malformed frames, cleanup, and delivery backpressure.
macOS ScreenCaptureKit helper rebuilt directly with swiftc and the macOS 26.5 SDK. Local SwiftPM is unavailable due to a BuildServerProtocol loader error.
Unverified: complete Windows helper compilation, Windows/Linux desktop behavior, and real recording/export proof on all three platforms.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a floating camera preview with show/hide and resize controls on supported macOS, Windows, and Linux setups.
The preview uses the active webcam stream and adjusts its availability during recording and screen capture.
Added localized preview controls across supported languages.
Documentation
Documented preview behavior and added manual test reports.
Tests
Added coverage for preview display, controls, sizing, capture interactions, and cleanup.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
This change adds a floating camera preview that uses the recorder’s webcam stream. It adds Electron window and IPC handling, platform-specific frame delivery and capture availability, HUD visibility and size controls, and capture exclusions. Tests and documentation cover the preview lifecycle and platform behavior.
Adds platform-specific camera frame delivery and capture-availability handling. Windows relays helper frames through a mailbox; macOS refreshes shareable content for exclusions; Linux gates preview availability by source.
Recorder stream and frame publishing src/hooks/useScreenRecorder.ts, src/hooks/useFloatingCameraPreview.ts, src/hooks/useScreenRecorder.*.test.tsx, src/hooks/useFloatingCameraPreview.test.tsx
Exposes the active webcam stream and publishes preview frames. Handles stream preservation, Windows camera handoff, Linux capture suspension and restoration, and related tests.
Adds the HUD visibility control and floating preview with hide and size controls, translated labels, styling, and UI tests. Documents platform-specific behavior and records manual test results and limitations.

getopenscreen/openscreen#1512 asks for floating overlay widgets to remain visible while excluded from recordings. This PR addresses capture exclusion for the camera preview, but does not implement the requested notes or gallery widgets.
Merge Risk: Low · up to b577c
On Windows, a helper that fails to terminate can leave its camera preview watcher polling in the background until the app closes the helper. Stale frames are no longer relayed to the preview, so recordings and previews are not corrupted. Merging is reasonable, with the watcher cleanup as a bounded follow-up.

Explanation
The title "feat: add floating camera preview on desktop" matches the main change. The PR adds a draggable floating camera preview to the recording HUD on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with resizing and show/hide controls. The title is short, uses the conventional prefix, and names the primary feature.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template sections for Summary, Related issue, Type of change, Release impact, Desktop impact, Screenshots / video, and Testing. It explains the feature and per-platform behavior and lists test results. It also states which validations are missing: end-to-end demo recordings, Windows and Linux desktop validation, and complete Windows helper compilation. The related issue uses 'Refs #1278' rather than the template's 'Fixes #' line, which matches the partial-resolution guidance. The Summary section is detailed, and the Testing section is thorough. Template sections are present and largely filled in, so the check passes.

Thanks @stym06, we'd like to take this one as the camera preview (#1333 was an alternative; we're keeping yours). Two changes before a detailed review:
Hide the HUD button when the camera is off rather than disabling it. We don't show controls that can't do anything.
Show the real camera frame, at its recorded aspect ratio (a rounded rectangle is fine), instead of a circle. The point of the preview is checking framing, and a circle hides the edges that will end up in the recording.
Please also rebase on main (it conflicts now). For the review, add a short before/after measurement taken during a take: CPU use and dropped frames with the preview shown and hidden. I'll approve CI once I've read the updated diff.

Thanks for the update! CI is approved and running. One thing before this can be merged: the repo only accepts rebase merges, and the branch now contains a merge commit from main, which blocks the merge button. Could you rebase onto main instead (git fetch upstream && git rebase upstream/main, then git push --force-with-lease)?
Thanks again @stym06, this is shaping up nicely! One thing before we can merge: OpenScreen ships every feature on all three platforms, so the floating camera preview needs to work on Windows and Linux too, not only macOS. Could you extend it, and attach a short end-to-end screen recording per platform (macOS, Windows, Linux) showing the preview during a real recording and the exported video without it? That's what we'll use to validate it. Happy to help if you hit a platform-specific snag.
Hi @stym06, just checking in on this one. The floating camera preview still needs its Windows and Linux side before we can merge, plus a rebase on main (it conflicts now). If you'd rather not do the port, say so and we'll see about taking it from here.
Thanks @stym06 for extending this to Windows and Linux! CI is approved and running on the new head.
To validate the port, could you attach the short end-to-end recordings mentioned earlier, one per platform (macOS, Windows, Linux), each showing the preview during a real recording and the exported video without it? Updating the PR title and description to cover all three platforms would help too.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks for the Windows and Linux port, @stym06. You mentioned you don't have a Windows machine, so I tested e3c5133c9 on Windows 11 with a USB webcam. The helper and compositor were built from this head, and webcam_preview_bitmap_test passed. Recording and export work, and there are four preview issues.
Pass with real OS clicks via computer-use: preview show/hide while idle and during a take, enlarge and shrink, dragging the preview a short distance, native screen and window takes, pause/resume, restart, stop into the editor.
Pass with Playwright driving the app, on real capture: preview updates and frame orientation after the camera hands over to the helper, preview window and mailbox cleanup on a normal stop, MP4 export.
Capture exclusion, also driven by Playwright: I checked WGC and forced DXGI (OPENSCREEN_CAPTURE_BACKEND=dxgi), with the backend confirmed in the helper log. With OPENSCREEN_DISABLE_CONTENT_PROTECTION=1 as a control, the preview was detectable in the screen recording. With protection on, I found no floating preview in the sampled frames of the recording. I didn't measure the exported file.
Issues, all reproduced with real clicks:
After cancelling an active native take, the preview doesn't return to the idle HUD, although the camera and preview still show as on. Waiting 20 seconds or toggling the preview off and on doesn't restore it. Toggling the camera off and on does.
Hovering the preview image doesn't reveal the hide and resize buttons. They only appear once the pointer reaches one of them.
Closing the preview from its system menu leaves the HUD showing it as on, and it takes two toggle clicks to bring it back.
After closing and reopening at the largest size, + stays enabled and the first - click jumps straight to the smallest size.
Worth checking on your side. These come from reading the code, and I haven't run either path:
Linux, browser fallback: if a pending start is replaced and the new countdown is then cancelled, the early returns after prepareCameraPreviewCapture() only tear down media, so the preview may stay unavailable.
macOS, direct display capture (not Apple's picker): if the preview is destroyed and recreated during a take, the helper's exclusion refresh still uses the window IDs supplied at startup, so the new window may end up in the recording.
Not covered on Windows: tray recovery and right-click, long drags, full-screen capture, and a window take with the preview overlapping the captured window. The Windows demo you were asked for is still open: my test takes show my desktop and camera, so I'm not attaching them.
Could you rebase onto the latest main (no merge commit, the repo only rebase-merges)? The branch has merge conflicts again.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
After cancelling an active Windows native take, the preview doesn't return to the idle HUD. Toggling the preview does nothing, and toggling the camera off and on restores it. Native startup releases the renderer stream, and cancel sets recording back to false without reacquiring it, so this hook has neither preview source. Could the idle preview come back once the helper has released the camera on cancel? Restart uses the same discard path and starts the next take straight away, so it probably shouldn't reacquire there.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks @My-Denia. @stym06 addressed this in b242d6d: Cancel of a native Windows take now waits for the helper to release the camera, then reacquires the renderer stream, so the idle preview comes back. Restart does not reacquire. useScreenRecorder.restartFailure.test.tsx covers both paths. I could only check it in code and unit tests, not on a Windows machine: could you confirm on yours?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
On Windows, right-clicking the preview and choosing Close removes the window, but the HUD still shows the preview as on and needs two toggle clicks to reopen it. This handler clears only the controller's state. Could it also keep the HUD's state in sync when the window closes?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks @My-Denia. Addressed in b242d6d: a system-menu Close now does the same as the preview's hide button. The window is kept and the HUD gets camera-preview:hidden, so its toggle reads off and one click reopens it. electron/cameraPreview.test.ts covers it. Checked in code and unit tests only, not on Windows: could you confirm?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
On Windows, moving the pointer over the preview image leaves the hide and resize controls invisible. They appear only when it reaches one of the no-drag buttons. It looks like the drag region keeps .preview:hover from matching over the image. Could the controls be reachable without having to find an invisible button?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks @My-Denia. Addressed in b242d6d: the hover rule is gone, so the hide and resize buttons are always visible on the preview, and no longer depend on :hover over the drag region. Not checked on Windows: could you confirm?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
After resizing to the largest preset and reopening through the Windows system-menu close path, the controller restores that size, but sizeIndex starts at the middle preset again. + stays enabled and the first - click jumps straight to the smallest preset. Could the controls start from the restored size?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks @My-Denia. Addressed in b242d6d: Close no longer destroys the preview window, it hides it. The renderer keeps its sizeIndex, so the controls start from the size the controller restores. Not checked on Windows: could you confirm?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks @stym06. I re-tested this head on Windows 11 with a USB webcam, with the helper and compositor built from it and every input given as real OS clicks.
Pass:
The hide and resize buttons show on the image without hovering, + grows the preview, and dragging the image moves the window.
Closing the preview with its X button or from its system menu (Alt+Space → Close) switches the HUD to "Show camera preview", and one click brings it back.
After + to the largest size, closing and reopening, the first - steps down one size.
Camera handoff into a take: with the preview shown, the helper opened the webcam (webcam-format 1280x720@30), the preview stayed up during a 24 s take, and the editor opened with the webcam PiP and a 24.8 MB webcam file.
Cancel during a camera take: the idle preview was back within about 2 s, with no camera-busy error.
Restart during a camera take: no camera-busy error, and the restarted take recorded the webcam too.
Capture exclusion: with content protection on (the default), frames extracted from a full-screen take show neither the preview nor the HUD; the same spot with protection off shows both.
Rebase: I rebased the branch onto main without the merge commit. The two conflicts were mechanical: in electron/ipc/handlers.ts (native Linux start catch) both resetLinuxCaptureBackendProbe() and cameraPreview.setCaptureAllowed(true) are kept, and in manual-e2e-checklist.md both sets of results-log rows are kept, without the blank lines between rows that ended the table.
…s hidden
The macOS helper listed every window, off-screen ones included, on each display take and in the 250 ms exclusion poll, so a hidden camera preview stayed in the filter. It now lists on-screen windows and widens the list only while one of the app windows it must exclude is hidden.
Refs getopenscreen#1278
A Linux monitor take cannot exclude the preview window. The HUD greyed the control out with an explanatory tooltip; it now hides it, and the unused text key leaves the 15 locales.
Refs getopenscreen#1278
