Webcam from Hyper Brew integrates a live webcam feed directly into any Adobe application.

While it's a niche tool, it's interesting, particularly for creators focused on tutorials, or those who thrive on live feedback during the creative process.

It's a small tool, with potentially big implications for streamlining how we teach and learn digital arts online, I think it's really cool!

------

Can I screen record any of my screens?

Unfortunately due to limitations with Adobe extensions, only the first screen can be recorded. If the screen that shows up in the preview dialog is not the one you want, try swapping your monitor inputs or moving your window(s) to the other screen.

If you're on a laptop with a built-in monitor and you want to capture an external monitor, mirroring the screen to the external monitor is the only option currently.
