How to Add a Floating Camera to a Presentation on Mac
A separate floating camera window lets an audience see you while your slides remain the main focus. It works alongside Keynote, PowerPoint, browser presentations, whiteboards, and teaching materials.
Quick answer
Open Float Camera before presenting, choose a shape and size, place it in unused slide space, and enable Always on Top. If a presentation mode hides other windows, use a windowed presentation or another display arrangement that keeps the floating camera visible.
Step by step
Prepare the slides
Open Keynote, PowerPoint, a browser presentation, or the teaching material you plan to share.
Open and shape the camera
Launch Float Camera and choose rectangle, rounded rectangle, or circle. Select a ratio that fits the available space.
Choose a consistent position
Place the camera where it will not cover headings, captions, charts, or navigation controls across your slides.
Enable Always on Top
Keep the camera above normal presentation windows. Lock Position after arranging it if you want to avoid accidental movement.
Check presentation and sharing modes
Preview the exact presentation or screen-sharing mode you will use. If full screen hides other windows, present in a window or use a screen layout that keeps the camera visible.
Good to know
Use a stable slide safe area
A corner that looks empty on one slide may contain content later. Check several representative slides before starting.
The camera remains independent
Changing its shape, size, or mirror setting does not modify your presentation file.
Common questions
Can I use Float Camera with Keynote and PowerPoint?
Yes. Float Camera is a separate desktop window and can be placed above normal Keynote, PowerPoint, browser, and document windows.
Why does the camera disappear in full screen?
Some full-screen or screen-sharing modes isolate application windows. Try a windowed presentation or share the entire screen after verifying the camera is visible.
