Ratings and Reviews
Excellent!
I oversee and instruct a computer lab for K-3 students. I've been trying to teach the foundation of touch typing, and with kids this young, it really helps if you have visual aids. I use a Brio webcam pointed down at my keyboard, and use OBS along with a wide assortment of apps as well as my iPad so that I can annotate what I see on my display. Then I just cast a full screen preview onto a large TV for the students to see.
Mirror magnet makes it really easy to overlay my keyboard view and reduces the number of sources in OBS since it can fade away the keyboard when I need to show a portion of my screen, which before I would be limited to reducing my screen stream size to accomodate my keyboard stream.
The developers other apps, Keystroke Pro and Cursor Pro are just what I needed to round out teaching and instructing our future generation! SOO MANY THANKS. These apps came out at just the right time!
Two feature requests that I would be forever grateful for is the ability to use custom ratios for the camera appearance, and even larger sizes. It would also be great if the camera could be positioned anywhere on the display, but that is less important to me.
Keep up the great work!!!
Perfect & Handy
If you're looking for an easy way to record yourself and your screen, this is it. I can customize everythign the way I want. It's intutitive. It shoudl just be included in the Mac OS, but these developers did a better job than Apple when conceiveing user's needs. Awesome. I'm a teacher and this app has helped me a lot.
1 or 2 things to improve
Everything about this deserves 5 stars - except there are at least two ways it could be improved: [1] allow the display window to be moved without opening settings (Command Click & hold, move, release?) [2] allow the window to be turned off / closed without having to memorise the keyboard shortcut (similar to the way nice apps can be removed by clicking a red x in the top-right corner?). The first point alone would earn this 5 stars from me. Recommended!
