You should try Sqwiggle for this, pretty much what it's designed for :) https://www.sqwiggle.com

There's something i like more about lapface, though. I'm not saying it's logical, just explaining my apparent preference.

I think it has to do with the low resolution cameras, and the slower update time.

I feel less of a sense of pressure.. less of a sense of being "on". Like, in a coffee shop i'm there, but i also don't expect people to be staring at me. With a good webcam stream, i have a sense of people staring (even if they're not)[1].

Lapface seems to be designed to inhibit this tension. Atleast, it does for me. Granted, i still have it, but not as bad. I'm excited to try it later today! _(who knows, maybe i'll have the same tension and end up hating it, haha)_

[1]: My coworkers and i sync up multiple times a week as a large group via audio, and some webcams. Sometimes i use my webcam, sometimes not - but when i do, i have that sense of being tense.
