Recording a video has never been so simple! 🎬
It's time for your first video recording! We put together this quick video to help you get started with Loom on day 1.
How to start recording
-
You can start recording by clicking on the Loom Chrome extension, as shown below.
-
From here, you can decide what part of your screen you want to capture: Full Screen, Window, or Current Tab. You can choose Camera only if you don't want to record any of your screens.
-
Choose if you want to record your Screen and Camera by toggling your Camera on or off.
-
Select a microphone source or turn off your microphone. You will also see an audio indicator capturing audio before you start recording. This helps ensure sound in your recordings.
-
To remove recording controls or adjust for low light, visit your Setting under the three dots '...' at the top of your recording menu.
-
Once you're satisfied with your Recording Settings, go ahead and click Start Recording.🎉
💡Note your recording settings will automatically default to those you had set previously.
Chrome Extension Limitations
-
Certain features are only available when recording with the Loom Desktop app. Features availability will also depend on your Loom plan (Education, Business, and Enterprise).
-
You cannot record your camera bubble on PDF documents within Chrome.
-
You cannot record your camera bubble when you are recording a different application other than the Chrome browser.
For this reason, we suggest having both the Chrome Extenstion and Desktop app installed.
