This is an alternative to using Quicktime to create a video for your students. Loom has a nice feature of using your computer’s camera to put your face or object in the bottom left corner. That’s great for students who like to see you and hear your voice.

You can either download the app or add the extension which shows up on your menu bar. If you download the desktop version, see below for a tutorial. The desktop app have more functions to use.

Send the link or better yet, download the video and put in your Google Drive since that may be easier if you are using Google Classroom. Plus, you will have that video secured in your Google Drive
