Add a camera, microphone, system audio, and camera background blur.
Choose the inputs in the capture window before you start recording.macOS must allow Camera permission for a camera overlay. It must allow Microphone permission for voice audio.
If the camera is on and available, the camera preview appears in the capture window.To blur the camera background, turn on Background Blur in the same menu.
The capture preview does not show camera background blur. Tellclip applies the blur to the final recording.
