Move your face around
Use your mouse to drag your floating circle to any corner of the screen so it doesn't block the video.

Make the words easy to read
Hover your mouse over the screen. Click the "Formatting Settings" icon and adjust the Text Size until your notes are big enough to read.

Clear the stage
