macOS 14+
A better way to present on macOS.
Drag and resize to instantly update the live stream. No need to re-share.
Annotate your stream, record locally, and hide apps you don’t want shared. All while sharing a live region of your screen.
Hide Apps
Hide apps you don’t want to share. They never appear in the shared window. Useful for personal chats or anything you don’t want mirrored.
Drawing
Draw, highlight, and point with the laser pointer, right on top of your screen. Marks are baked into the stream, so everyone on the call sees them.
Recording
Record the selected region to MP4 or grab a screenshot in one click. Handy for demos, bug reports, and clips you can share later.
Unlock Showcase scenes for demos that stay focused and easy to follow.
Showcase
Share only the apps you choose and keep everything else hidden. Easily switch between scenes during a call or recording.
Buy Raybeam once on the Mac App Store. Add Pro when you need longer recordings, Showcase, 4K output, and more.

Most video apps only let you share your whole screen or pick a single window from the system sheet. Raybeam adds a third path: a live rectangle you place anywhere on your desktop.
Share everything on one display. Every window, the menu bar, and notifications that appear there. Fast to start, but viewers see the full canvas, not a focused slice.
Share one app window; the crop follows that window’s frame and chrome. Great for a self-contained app, but awkward if you need part of a window, two apps at once, or a custom band across an ultra-wide monitor.
Draw any rectangle on your Mac, spanning multiple windows or just a portion of one. Drag and resize during the call; your meeting app sees that region like any other shared screen source.
Raybeam needs macOS screen recording access to mirror the region you choose into your call. Only content inside your region is captured. Not your full display unless you make the selected region that large. You can review or revoke access anytime in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording.
Raybeam is built to share a region you define. Adjust or stop sharing from the menu bar whenever you like.
No. By default you share only the rectangular region you set. If you resize that region to cover your entire display, then the full screen is included, but that is always your choice.
Raybeam provides the live region on your Mac; you use your meeting app’s normal screen-sharing controls to present it, the same way you would share any window or display. Some video conferencing applications may not support the appropriate type of window picker that is required to function with Raybeam. Generally, desktop versions of video conferencing apps have better support.
Apple requires explicit permission for any app that reads pixels from the screen. Raybeam uses that access only to build the region you select for sharing.
Yes. Drag and resize handles update the shared region in real time so you can refine what others see without leaving the call.
Raybeam lives in the menu bar. Look for its icon near the clock and Wi‑Fi indicators. You open controls from there.
