hi this is Russell Stannard from teacher training videos calm today we're going to look at. It's
gonna be a quick video going to show exactly how the technology works it's a free tool and
Phil Long is going to run this session because he knows the technology much better than I do
let's get straight into the videos okay in order to get the loom desktop app you need
to type in looming to Google this will come up with these options and I will click on the
desktop app otherwise it's going to take you to the Google Chrome plugin and if you haven't used
gloom before you'll need to download this for PC and that will download the setup file onto
your computer click on finish installing when that's done open up your downloads folder and
you'll need to click on run okay once you've installed you should get a desktop app looks
like this and a window which a dialog box which asks you to either log in or to sign up and you
can log in with the Google account or you can use their an email I've already signed up for
this so I'm just going to log in now with my email and the password which I created
and once you have looked in you will get the desktop app and see what the desktop
apps looks like the default option is to have screen and camera and you can see the camera
has appeared in the top left-hand bottom left hand corner of the screen or you can have the
option to have screen only with no camera bubble or camera only for the purposes of
this demonstration I'm going to use screen and camera your microphones input in my case
will be a USB headset but you can choose which microphone inputs you have on this
drop down menu here and and LU will decide what your automatic pixel recording size is
going to be bear in mind that I'm using the pro pro version of loom which you can get on
a 14-day trial but that basically means that you can record in 4k high-definition but on a
basic version you wouldn't had to do that and the other thing that you can't see on here is
because I'm using Windows you can't see a choice of window and custom size which is currently only
available for Mac users but will be available to Windows users soon so let's try a recording
so I'm going to bring up a web page such as this and I'm going to click on start recording
and then you get a very short countdown to one zero and then once that ding-ding you hear in the
vacuum you hear the ding ding going on and that's the indication that the recording has started and
then everything on my screen as well as the camera and my microphone is going to be recorded so if I
move away from that page and on to a different page it's going to record that and over on the
left hand side you've got the stop button so you can stop the recording any time or you can
pause the recording if you want to just take a breath and then carry on or you can delete the
recording straight from here if you're not happy with it the other thing that you can do in the
Pro Edition is you can draw on the screen so if I click on here I can click a colour such as this
and then I can draw on the screen if I want to draw attention to anything on the screen which
should also appear on the recording but as I say that's only available on the Pro Edition which
you can get on a 14 day trial hi this is just a really quick reminder if you want to keep up
with all the videos on the YouTube channel then please subscribe you can click on the subscribe
button down here and also make sure that you click on the bell and that way you'll be updated
when new videos are added up onto the channel thank you but on the basic version you wouldn't
get that once you've want you happy the recording once you've finished recording press to stop and
then automatically you're here ding ding which says that the recording has been stopped and it
will open up in your browser your folders your account your folders with your recordings so it
gives me a desktop recording with today's date and then I have a number of options which I can use
to share this trim this or do other things like make a comment on this recording if I play this
recording back the ding-ding going on and that's the indication that the recording has started and
then everything on my screen as well as the camera and my microphone is going to be recorded so if I
move away from that page and on to a different page it's going to record that and over on the
left hand side you've got the stop button so you can stop the recording any time or you can pause
the recording if you want to just take a breath and then carry on or you can delete the recording
straight from here if not happy with it the other thing that you can do in the Pro Edition is you
can draw on the screen so if I click on here I can click a colour such as this and then I can draw on
the screen if I want to draw attention to anything on the screen once you've got your recording you
can immediately delete the video if you're not happy with it you can download the video or as
I say you can share it or you can just use this copy link up here and then you can copy that into
another browser or into a social media or however when you want to share it that's the basic view of
the Loom desktop application hope you enjoyed it okay I hope you found that video useful thank you
