FaceMocap is a simple application for recording Facial motion capture using any camera, including a simple webcam.
The online version can be used for free here:

However, according to the developer, the app is self-hosted and does not earn any income. So if usage goes up, it may be throttled or disabled.
To avoid this, you can install the app locally from this repository. Installation instructions are available there as well.

Recording face mocap with this tool is extremely simple.
- start the application, online or local
- allow it to access your camera
- press the Record button in the bottom center of the screen
- when you’re done with your performance, press Stop, then save .glb
Note that the recording includes only the mocap data and no audio, so you’ll have to record that separately.
