Features to help teachers and students communicate easily through video

• Record your lesson

  Pull up your class content onto your preferred presentation page (Google Slides or Powerpoint). Then launch the Loom recorder.

• Annotate your screen (Desktop App only)

  Loom's drawing tool is a great way to provide feedback and make quick markings on your screen as you narrate. Markings will disappear after a few seconds to keep your screen clutter-free.
