Raybeam 2: More ways to present

Recording, screenshots, new app filter modes, and more tools to keep your audience focused. Meet the next chapter of Raybeam.

By Nathan · Released

Raybeam 2 expands region sharing into a broader set of presentation tools, while keeping privacy and accessibility at its core.

This release brings a redesigned app, recording and screenshots, more flexible app filters, and new ways to guide your audience's attention. Most new features are included for existing Raybeam owners at no extra charge.

Capture your work

Record your selected region or save a screenshot. Recordings support microphone and system audio, so you can capture a walkthrough as well as share one live.

More control over what's visible

App Filters now offer two modes: Privacy mode excludes the apps you choose, while the new Showcase mode includes only the apps you choose. You can organize apps into groups or scenes and enable or disable them together.

Keep your audience focused

  • Follow cursor. Move the capture region with your pointer, either near its edges or with the cursor kept in the center.
  • Laser pointer. Use a new drawing mode to point things out during a presentation.
  • Spotlight Clicks. Show a small animation when you click inside the region.
  • Dim outside the region. Make it easier to see which part of your own screen is being shared.

A workspace that fits your workflow

  • A redesigned application and customizable toolbar.
  • Preview and settings windows that can be pinned to the overlay.
  • A custom overlay color.
  • Toggleable keyboard shortcuts, with defaults changed from Command+Shift to Command+Option.
  • A Summon button in the menu bar window, replacing Select Region.

Standard and optional Pro

The base app remains a $9.99 lifetime purchase. Raybeam Pro is an optional $4.99/month add-on for 4K output, unlimited recording length, unlimited hidden apps, and Showcase mode. See the website for current plan details.
