Did you ever wonder how you can create a video where recording yourself
and also you're screened the same time?
So in this video
where you have myself in the lower left hand corner and also moving my mouse
and recording my actions on screen at the same time,
I'll show you a step by step tutorial on how I use my favorite
online tool at the moment to do this and to record things like this
my YouTube videos, my online courses, and everything else in between.
Hi there. I'm Laurie Wang.
Welcome back to my channel.
If you're new here, I'm a digital marketing and social media strategist
who has built a personal brand into a business over the last few years.
I'm also creator in the trenches, building my passions
and sharing my lessons and learnings along the way.
Like this video and also many other videos on this channel
to help you build a living doing what you love.
So that sounds interesting.
Make sure to subscribe button and hit on the location bell
so you can notified every time I release a new video.
The tool that I'll be using today is called Lean and my goals here
tool for any old screen recording to share
with clients, students and also my courses.
You can download the desktop app for either Mac or Windows
on news website, which are linked to the description below.
And the best part is that is completely free to get started,
so I recommend giving it a try to get started with LOOM.
I recommend downloading the desktop app, which is exactly what we demonstrating
in this video today, how I'm going to be recording myself
on screen here in my video and also my screen so you can download
the app directly from them by clicking on Get Live for Free here on the homepage
and get it for your Mac Windows , Android or iOS.
Now demonstrate all these different features later.
But so let's showcase how easy it is
for me to move myself away from the screen or different parts of screen
so they can actually use it to showcase wanting to do
if I'm covering a certain area page, for example.
So when you get first started with the it has a free plan we can get started with.
So in the free plan, it covers you up to 5 minutes of video
per video and also up to 25 videos per person,
which I think is fantastic enough to get started as a beginner.
However, as I started using Live more and more,
I realized that I needed to do much longer videos.
So I started to upgrade to the business plan, which worked really
well for me, and this one has a limited recording length.
So as long as you need to
some of these tutorials and I think a lot longer than 5 minutes
and also unlimited videos in my loom library,
which means that I now can record many collections of videos.
So some of these are use also for my personal use
on recording things I need to maybe show to another team member later,
or perhaps some other answers I have to my business.
They can't remember all this one moment in time
and I can always refer back to it in my online library.
So I'm now going to start the recording process for having my cell
phone screen, also recording my screen the same time using Lume.
I'm going to click on the icon here.
And underneath this icon, there's options to choose which screen and camera
or screen only or occasionally.
Now for the option here, I want to make sure to choose screen
in-camera because I want to have myself on screen
with the screen recording the same time.
And then underneath that there's the option to go for either window,
full screen or custom size.
Now, full screen means that you can essentially record everything on
screen, including all the desktop items that you have up here.
And window means that you can choose a specific window
that's currently open and record that instead.
Or alternatively, you can choose to have a custom size
where you can then choose a specific area to record like this.
So again, the options there for you to choose either way or the other,
but in this case in the go for the window app option because then it just makes it
cleaner for adding purposes later, just personal preference.
So when we go back to the Loom app here and also I want to mention
underneath here you have the option to choose different cameras.
So I currently have my Sony camera plugged in as the camera choice,
but you can also choose to have your your face some HD camera open
or perhaps any webcam that you have plugged in the moment.
And I clearly have my road and Mike plugged in
but you can also choose have your MacBook microphone built in one in your computer
or any other built in microphone you currently have
on your laptop or your computer as well as a hit record.
And now you see
how starting to record on screen with a countdown.
So now we have this option to make the circle move around
whichever area you want you to place it
when you're explaining through your on screen recording, or you can either have
a smaller circle to make more space for the screen,
or perhaps you want to go for the HD full screen to kind of make a point.
Then going back to your circle
camera interface again
and you can also toggle between your photo and also yourself on screen.
And just the other option to make it as creative as you want to
with either a color background or maybe a blur background.
And if you want to maybe do some frames around the like this spring theme
here to be as creative as he wants you to have a look
at some of these other creative options down here.
And now to end the recording, I just essentially go to the loom
icon on top and I can then go ahead and the recording.
As soon as I click this recording, then you'll take me to a link here where
essentially share this link with others, either privately or perhaps publicly.
So whoever has a link can also access it, and I can also download it
once it's been processed to then use it for a later date.
So let's say you're using it for a tutorial.
Let's say
you can download this entire video file and then use it in your videos for later.
So here's now my bonus tip for loop.
I also use it to record anything I do in my business
that might be repetitive or perhaps something I can delegate
to others that can take on this task for me as well.
And it just saves me having to write a whole complete document around what I do
step by step, but rather I can just demonstrate in the video format
by recording my screen and storing it on zoom, sharing a link with the person
I'm sharing with, and they can watch it from anywhere in the world.
So I hope you find the video helpful in getting yourself up a limb.
If you like the video and found lots of value in it,
make sure you give a thumbs up to let me know.
And also share with a friend who can also learn from this as well
and let me know in the comments below.
Are you going to be trying out this feature for live
and also how you'll be using it in your business of life?
I look forward to hearing from you.
In the meantime, thank you so much for watching.
Have a wonderful week.
Enjoy your day and I'll see you next time.
