How to record your screen with Loom?

How do I use the Loom Chrome extension?

The Chrome extension for Loom makes it simple to record high-quality video, facecam footage, and audio right from your browser with this online screen recorder. Just follow these steps:

  1. Install the Loom Chrome extension here. Loom for Chrome allows you to use many basic features from the browser. Note, if you need to access more advanced features such as drawing tools, virtual backgrounds, overlay options, or high-definition recording, download the Loom desktop app.
  2. Choose what to capture. Want to record a simple screen capture? Select Screen Only to record just your screen. To add in your webcam recordings, select Screen and Camera to record both simultaneously.
  3. Hit record and create your Loom! Once you have the desired settings, click Start Recording. A three-second countdown timer will appear, then your recording will begin.
  4. Stop recording. When you’ve captured everything you need, click the square red record button on the menu in the lower-left corner of your screen to bring your recording to an end.
  5. Edit and share. When recording ends, Loom copies a link to your video to the clipboard. Your video will open in your browser where you can view, edit, and share. Use the full selection of editing tools to create exactly the impression you want. Learn more about recording with the Loom Chrome extension.
