Prepare your slides or Video Presentation, and then prepare to record your lectures. Go to https://www.loom.com and click on “Get Loom”. It is recommended to use the Pro version of Loom so you can export your file in 1080p format. Follow the instructions to sign up, verify your e-mail and download the Desktop App. Run the program installer and install the program. Login and select your desired camera and microphone, open up the presentation that you want to record and click “Start Recording”. When you are finished, click the red square on the left of the screen. A new browser window will pop up with your video recorded. Use the Download button to download the MP4 file to your computer.

• Export your file at a minimum 1080 HD video (or higher) resolution. The free version is too low of quality once we were to edit in graphics.
• You may need to have Admin rights on your computer to download and install the App.
• The camera feed can only be overlaid on the slides and not positioned to the side. Because of this, all slides will need to be designed with the lower 3rd blank.

This is done in the “Slide Show” tab, selecting “Record Slide Show”.  Once complete, presenters should go to the “File” tab, select “Export,” then “Create Video”.
