How to add a virtual background to your camera bubble

Add the image of your choice for a more polished background. 🎥


Virtual backgrounds make it easy to feel confident and comfortable when recording a loom with your video on. They're available on the Loom desktop app and Loom Chrome extension when recording in screen + camera mode (camera-only mode soon to come!).

Here's how to add a virtual background while recording:

  1. Open your Loom desktop app or Chrome extension. Make sure you're recording in screen + camera mode.
  2. Click on the camera settings icon below your camera bubble.
