 Description

Loom is a platform that allows you to make quick videos using a lightning-fast video recorder capable of capturing your screen, webcam, and microphone. It runs on most of the platforms like windows or mac, and it has an extension for Google Chrome. It is a great tool to use when you need to communicate ideas quickly and effectively. Rather than taking static screenshots and typing a lot of explanatory text, use Loom as a way to quickly walk through the page/s and accurately describe action points. It has a cloud storage system that stores all your recorded videos without you having to save on any hard disk. Videos are free to download, and the sharing process is straightforward and easy.
