Screen Recording Software with Cam circle in the bottom?

Hi can someone please suggest me a screen recording software for mac with a cam circle in the bottom.

I already tried

  1. Loom - limit to 5 min
  2. Vidyard - Can't download my videos

So something which is free to use could download my videos and has this capability to record screen and my cam with mic together.

    OBS is by far the best free to use (and open-source) software for screen recording IMO. You can record your videos and webcam at the same time. It's a bit more advanced so I recommend watching a tutorial if you're new to screen recording

    I see a lot of recommendations for OBS but keep in mind it's not necessarily for everyone and for every situation. For starters, beginners find it difficult to navigate through different manuals to even begin screen recording. Additionally, it's quite heavy which is why it experiences lags when you've too many apps running while recording your PC activities.
    A better alternative is ScreenRec which is quite lightweight and easy to understand. It performs like a breeze even in challenging situations despite being a free tool so I can easily recommend it to everyone.

    I have been using Vmaker for webcam and screen recording. The reason why I suggest Vmaker is easy to use and works as I expected. Also, it comes with an inbuilt editor to trim the video.

    Screencastify chrome plugin.
    (Has a square not a circle..)

    I paid for the Loom upgrade and is totally worth every penny!

    Obs studio. If you want a circle is more difficult but it's free

    I've been using CloudApp for a while, it has the circle cam feature and integrates nicely with Mac

    I've tried Screenity but found it to be buggy and didn't like Loom or Vidyard because of the restriction on the number of videos.

    My current setup is open-source and free: OBS Studio.

    Takes some time to get used to it, but forever free, and very powerful.

    Here's a video on how to get the circle cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i5rTa7m9Uo

    There's a browser extension for chrome, let me see if I find what you s called.

    I think Sendspark may be one in the same category to try. Forgot whether you can download your video or not...
