# Layouts and cameras

> Choose how your face and your screen sit together in the video.

A **layout** is how your screen and your camera are arranged. Pick one before you record. You can always change it later in the editor.

![The five layout choices above the recording bar: Screen + bubble, Side by side, Camera + screen, Screen only and Camera only](https://mintcdn.com/cutaway-docs/XxDikROkCqqX_dyv/images/screens/record.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=XxDikROkCqqX_dyv\&q=85\&s=4f8da24b0fa67985fe92c5b6425c506c)

## The five layouts

| Layout | What it looks like |
| - | - |
| **Screen + bubble** | Your screen, with your face in a small bubble in the corner. The most popular choice. |
| **Side by side** | Your screen and your face next to each other. |
| **Camera + screen** | Your face big, with your screen in a small box. |
| **Screen only** | Just your screen. No face. |
| **Camera only** | Just your face. No screen. |

> [!NOTE]
>
> Layouts that show your face need a camera. If you see "This layout needs a camera", click **No camera** in the bottom bar and pick one.

## Use your iPhone as a camera

Your iPhone can be your camera. It usually looks better than a laptop camera.

**1. Get ready**

Sign in to the same Apple Account on your iPhone and Mac. Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on both.

**2. Place your iPhone**

Lock your iPhone and put it near your Mac, on a stand or mount. You can also plug it in with a cable.

**3. Pick it in Cutaway**

Click the camera menu in the bottom bar. Your iPhone shows up as **iPhone**. Pick it.

## Two cameras

You can record two camera angles at once. For example, your Mac's camera from the front, and your iPhone from the side.

1. Pick your first camera in the **camera** menu (Camera A).
2. Pick your second camera in the **B** menu (Camera B).

Cutaway records both. In the first cut, it switches between them for you.

## Change the layout later

You can change the layout for the whole video, or just for part of it, in the editor. See [Camera layouts](https://cutaway-docs.mintlify.site/edit/camera-layouts.md).
