Once you are signed into Loom, you will also have options of installing a desktop app. Below, you will find additional instructions on how to install the desktop app.

Screencasting is great for a variety of purposes including:

personalizing remote learning
flipped classrooms and faculty meetings
tutorials

Installing the Loom App on Your District Desktop Computer

The Loom installer has been added to the GSD Workspaces for all staff computers. This software is installed just for the user that is logged in, so if you share computers it will need to be installed for each additional user.

Here is a quick guide to installing Loom:

Open GSD Workspaces by double-clicking the icon on the desktop
Click the Search (Magnifying glass) button on the tool
Click Applications from the left side menu
Look for the tile labeled Loom with the Loom logo, click Install

Note: If you don’t see the tile labeled Loom, click the Refresh button on the right side of the toolbar

A progress bar will appear on the right side. When the process is complete, the progress bar will say Successfully Installed
The Loom icon will appear on your desktop when it has installed successfully
