Tips for the tool

Loom can be downloaded to your computer or used as a browser extension in Chrome. Visit their help centre to get started. Note there is a little more functionality on a Mac computer than a Windows computer, but it still works well on both platforms. Key features include: quick sharing of videos in seconds, ability to edit right in the tool, add a call-to-action to the front of your video, ability to download the video file for upload to YouTube or MS Stream.
