Loom is a screen recorder based on the Google Chrome web browser that can use both your screen and your webcam at the same time to record. The extension is ideal for creating tutorials or other videos that require narration. When you finish recording, you can immediately share the videos on your social networks via a URL link.
Besides using the screen or the webcam to record (at the same time or separately), Loom also uses the microphone built into your computer. After recording, from its interface you can edit the video and then share it (you can encrypt the link).
How to use Loom?
After installing Loom in your Chrome web browser, you will need to click on the extension icon in the address bar to run it. The environment will ask you to register; you can use your Google, Slack, and Outlook credentials. After launching the plugin, it will ask for permission to use your webcam and microphone.
Record with screen and camera at the same time
If you decide to record with screen and camera, the extension first starts recording from the camera and then begins capturing the screen. At this moment you will see the screen recording in the frame and, in a corner, a smaller box with the transmission of the front camera of your device. This method is very good for creating tutorial videos, to describe the steps reflected in the screen capture.
Record screen or record with webcam
If you select the “Screen Only” option, you will only record the screen capture. But if you click on “Cam Only”, only the front camera of your computer will be recorded.
Other Loom features
- The extension lets you enable or disable the Microsoft audio.
- Pause recording whenever you want.
- Manipulate the aspect ratio of the frame.
- With the mouse you can move the smaller recording box in the frame.
Video editing functions
With the extension you can trim video, customize the thumbnail, manipulate the speed of frames per second, change the title and description of the video. When you finish editing, you will share the video with your contacts via a URL. You can protect the link with a password.
