About Loom

Loom is a video messaging and screen recording tool that allows users to capture their computer’s screen and record themselves with their camera. Beyond screen recording, Loom’s features include video editing tools, auto-generated transcriptions and captions, and the ability to archive and organize videos into folders.

Loom for Learning Experiences

Loom’s user-friendly recording experience and easy sharing features make it an effective and efficient tool for instructors. With Loom, they can:

  • Record videos from their browser, desktop, or phone

  • Share footage via email, messaging, or embedded links (with no download requirements)

  • Create an organized content library

  • Track student engagement through click and view counts

Students can rewind and rewatch Loom videos as many times as needed, which helps promote understanding during asynchronous learning. Additionally, students can access Loom’s content directly through a website or learning management system rather than having to navigate to a separate platform like Google Drive or Dropbox.
