Step 1: Download CaptureGem
First, download CaptureGem from the official website. Make sure to select the correct version for your operating system (Windows or macOS). The download is free and no signup is required.
Make sure to fully unzip the downloaded file to a new directory before running it. On macOS, you can also copy it into your Applications directory, but this is not mandatory.
After unzipping, open CaptureGem by double-clicking the CaptureGem executable. The application will now load. Note that there may be some firewall-related warnings on Windows, so make sure to allow and continue past these.
Step 2: Navigate to MyFreeCams
Next, navigate to the MyFreeCams page featuring the model you want to record. Take note of the model's username, which can be found in the URL.

Step 4: Monitor Recordings
Now that the recording has started, you can click on the Monitor button and monitor all your recordings in real time. Note that this uses some extra processing power while the tab is open, but does not consume any additional bandwidth.
You can also open the model's page from here and you can end recordings. Note that you can also change the refresh rate of the thumbnails in the Advanced Settings.
