Overview of Loom

Full description of the tool

It is important to know that this is not a software or a mobile application. Loom is just a Chrome extension. The interface offers you the possibility to choose the sizing options of your final rendering.

For this purpose, a good setting allows you to obtain videos adapted to the platform where you want to use it. You can then start recording, but don't forget to activate the microphone in case you want to have a video with sound.

If you finish recording, make sure you save it. Next, the tool gives you the hand to export the production. At this stage you can transfer it as a link to a private group of users.
