FaceScreen displays a floating live camera feed and an optional text label on top of everything else on your screen. Add a personal touch to your screen recordings, presentations, livestreams, and screen sharing sessions by keeping your face visible at all times. Use the built-in screen recorder on your phone or any third-party screen recording app. FaceScreen does not record, store, or process any video or personal data. It simply displays a customizable camera overlay on top of other apps and content. FEATURES Camera • Single camera mode: A sleek camera overlay that floats above all other apps. • Dual camera mode: Show both cameras at once with a draggable picture-in-picture front camera. • Customize everything—from the camera shape and position to zoom level, size, orientation, and more. • Zoom in when your camera is farther away for better visibility. • Works seamlessly over apps running in full-screen mode. • Drag and position the camera overlay anywhere on your screen. • Your settings, including position, size, and appearance, are automatically saved for the next time you use FaceScreen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: YouTube Create at Free against FaceScreen's $5.99. YouTube Create also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 7) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). FaceScreen's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On update cadence, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.
