FoxCueWebcam Background Blur and Mic Settings
Every FoxCue recorder setting: layout sizes, mirror, background blur, image or color backgrounds, brightness, film looks, scene frames, audio and watermark.
The studio recorder's settings panel controls how your take looks and sounds: layout sizes, your camera, background blur or replacement, color adjustments, film looks, a scene frame, audio and a watermark. Open the panel on the right side of the studio recorder. On screens narrower than 768 px it starts collapsed.

How background effects work
FoxCue separates you from the background with a selfie segmentation model that runs in your browser, at about 24 frames per second. Your video isn't sent anywhere for this. Status badges show Loading Model…, Blur on or Background on. If the model fails, the badge shows an error. Click it to retry.
