I used to use xsplit (free version) and you can easily switch between the computer screen and yourself. You can even have yourself in on of the corners of the screen if you want. Unfortunately it only works for windows. Sad

Looking at Open Broadcaster Software it seems to be the best one for mac. Accourding to one reviewer he used to use xsplit but now likes OBS better.

You could record both at the same time, and then edit the video afterwards to switch between your desktop screen and the webcam video.

There are a lot of applications for Mac computers that will let you either record from the webcam or record what is happening on the computer screen. Many video editing tools will let you stitch the two together.
Theres quite a bit of competition in this business field I am getting into, and all of the competition have the ability of recording themselves and then being able to show what is on their screen entirely without showing themselves or anything so the software of doing both live and at same time is out there. Just don't know what it is and if its mac accessible. Theres many youtube videos for this field of the competition doing it so I don't know.

I need help guys!

Starting a business that will be recording me live. I need to know what the best software out there is for webcamming. I was looking at one product (I forget the name, trying to remember) that cost $499 which was outrageous.

What I need:
-To be able to stream live
-To be able to record videos for playback later and easily be able to upload these videos to youtube
-Mac Accessbility (a lot of software I've found only works for Windows)
-Allow me to switch from webcam viewing to showing what is on my computer screen live (this is the biggest part, I can't seem to find software that allows me to switch from webcam viewing to showing my audience what I am doing on my computer screen)

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate. The bolded requirement has been my hardest piece so far to find. It would be nice to find this as I'm not too computer savvy.
