16.04 -> 18.04:
Please check How to install Kazam 1.5.3?
14.04:
Kazam 1.5.3 was released recently and it includes some very useful new
features:
- support for webcams: it can record just the webcam or it can display the webcam in a window on top of the screencast;
- support for broadcasting to YouTube Live;
- added on-screen keyboard indicator and mouse click indicator;
- new countdown timer.
Kazam is available in the official Ubuntu repositories, but it's an old version so it doesn't have the new features above. To get the latest Kazam in Ubuntu you can use the Kazam PPA.
Open a terminal and use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kazam-team/unstable-series
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kazam python3-cairo python3-xlib
Source: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/08/kazam-screencaster-gets-webcam-and.html

It's worth mentioning that the webcam position can be moved around by dragging with Alt pressed.

Even the most recent version of Kazam doesn't seem to allow you to record both a webcam and screen at the same time, as OP is asking.

you can do is install these two softwares from software center
1.kazam
2.cheese
from software center and do open the cheese as it captures you from the webcam and shows on the screen and use kazam to record the screen ...and thus you can capture your screen and webcam at the same time.
2
I don't like cheese for this because it has that bottom menu. Or can you remove it?

A better alternative is to use vokoscreen

My personal favorite for this (since recent)is vokoscreen.
simple and works great. haven't had any issues with it (on my setup dell latitude 5420 with ubuntu 17.04)
Thanks this looked great at first, but I couldn't get the sound recording to work seamlessly here on Ubuntu 14.04. Which is weird, because sound recording works perfectly in both kazam and cheese.

As an alternative, here's a great chrome extension that does the trick: https://www.useloom.com/?ref=247716
It worked perfectly on my Ubuntu 14.04 (being browser-based) and is 100% free as long as you download your videos after capture, and don't keep them in their storage.
I played around with all available offline solutions proposed here, and they all had some nasty glitches on my particular setup.
Here's to OS independence!

As an alternative, here's a great chrome extension that does the trick: https://www.useloom.com/?ref=247716
It worked perfectly on my Ubuntu 14.04 (being browser-based) and is 100% free as long as you download your videos after capture, and don't keep them in their storage.
I played around with all available offline solutions proposed here, and they all had some nasty glitches on my particular setup.
