If you can't make the training, this is the best tutorial we've found. This is a little long, but it offers a thorough explanation of how to use the Loom Chrome Extension. Tip: Watch it at 1.25 speed.

Loom Chrome Extension

If using Chrome on a school account, you will see a small button on the top right-hand corner of your Chrome browser. From here, you simply choose whether you want to record your screen and camera, your screen only, or your camera only.

When done recording, the video will save to your library to be accessed at any time to be deleted, download, embedded , or shared in various ways.
