How to get started with the Loom desktop app

We put together this quick video to help you get started recording with the Loom Desktop app!

How to start recording

After you have installed the Desktop app, you can start recording by clicking on the Loom Icon from your Devices Control bar, as shown below.
From here, you can decide what part of your screen you want to capture: Full Screen, Window, or Custom size(if you are on a paid plan). 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.

Certain features are only available to users on Looms Education, Business, Business+ Ai and Enterprise plans. These features include:
