A player lifts a tablet to their face and watches their avatar's expression play back in real time, then angles the screen to include a passing vehicle for an action shot. Facetime for Bonelab, by YanVR, places a handheld camera prop inside BONELAB's sandbox. It gives a live in-world preview and a front/rear toggle for quick perspective changes. The mod suits VR content creators and virtual photographers who want to compose footage from inside the scene.

The device makes camera work a physical game action

So, instead of a menu overlay, the camera exists as a physics-driven prop that you can grasp, drop, or fix to scenery. The mod integrates with BONELAB's interaction systems so the tablet responds to collisions and can be mounted on vehicles or props to create unconventional cinematic angles. That physicality changes how you compose shots, because positioning the object in the world becomes part of the creative task.

Integration supports common mod workflows and menus

The tool appears in the spawn menu for immediate access and is compatible with standard modding frameworks for enhanced menu integration. It targets both Windows PCVR and Meta Quest (Android) builds of BONELAB, and requires a mod-ready installation of the base game. The developer designed the item to sit inside existing menus rather than replacing the game UI, which keeps it accessible during play sessions.

Designed around live monitoring rather than post-capture control

Facetime for Bonelab provides a live camera feed intended for in-session monitoring and framing, which streamers use to check avatar expressions and on-screen composition in real time. Selfie and rear camera perspectives let you switch viewpoint without opening external capture tools. Community write-ups and showcases cite the mod's straightforward integration with BONELAB physics as a reason creators add it to their toolset.

Developer focus and compatibility constraints affect use cases

The developer builds utility-focused gadgets for BONELAB, and this mod follows that pattern: simple to use inside the sandbox, but aimed at creators rather than casual players. It relies on BONELAB mod support, so a licensed, mod-enabled install is necessary. Some users pair the mod with BoneLib or similar frameworks to improve menu placement, which means a small amount of modding familiarity helps get the most from it.
