• Screen recording & cam bubble:

You can record videos which contain both the screen and a camera bubble so that you can also be seen. Alternatively you can record just your voice narrating what is on the screen or just you talking directly to the camera.

• Instant editing

You can edit your Loom videos within the tool. You are able to trim content, add buttons, or shorten clips. You can also combine videos.

• Unlimited transcriptions

Once you have made your video you will have the option to read the transcription. You can also add timestamps to this so that it is easier to follow.

• Privacy controls

Once you have created your video you have different options for who can see it. You can decide that anyone with the link can see it, that members in Loom can see it, or that only the specific people that you add can view it. 

• Viewer insights

This allows you to see who has watched your video. If the person is logged into Loom when they watch it their name will show up. For those not logged in or those without an account, they will show up as anonymous.
