Thank you Steve, this is exactly what I needed! I'm creating a year-long training program for massage and physical therapists and I needed to make it more interesting than just a bunch of Word docs and instructional videos. I'm looking forward to learning more from you because I think you're a wonderful teacher!
I am a kindergarten para and this video was amazingly helpful. I am not good with technology but I have had to learn very quickly. I watched a few other videos on loom and yours was by far the best one I saw. Thank you for helping teachers who have had to adapt very quickly to all these new resources.
Thank you for creating this introduction to Loom. More importantly, thank you for informing your viewers that Loom Pro is free for educators and students. I found you via a blog post by Kathleen Morris (Primary Tech). As a K-12 ESL teacher in a public school, I was using a different screen casting tool in its basic form (this other service required a paid subscription for advanced features). Having a free Loom Pro membership is going to make communicating with English Language Learners simple. By the way, I like you Mr. Bill figurine.
I thought this was a GREAT explanation of Loom. I had not heard of Loom until just today. And I have been looking for something like this for awhile!! Great video!!
I so love this simplicity for screen casting. I have been struggling with learning OBS and now considering Streamyard. I teach art and want to create content for viewing on FB, RUclips and for my private students. I'm worn out with high tech, so perhaps this is the way to go for a beginning. Your video was great! Thank you.
Steve I use Loom 10 times a day to communicate with customers. You put me onto this with your first video about loom. You also put me onto Evernote and Skitch and one or two other things and like you I sort of move around as things improve. I can only thank you as I would've had to have found most of these things myself so you've been a good help good luck to you. PS if you want to reach out for more information please get in contact I don't use Loom to do tutorials as it's a little bit basic mainly put mine on RUclips speak soon
I am a HS teacher, and thanks to COVID being thrown into cyber lessons, and I will be using loom. I have to say, that you are a very skilled presenter, and I hope I can find more education based content from you. You sir, have a real knack for teaching and captivating your audience!
Brilliant explanation! Wish I had you as a teacher back in the day. You have really inspired me to do 'How To...' videos by using this simple tool. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in a clear, unpretentious way. :)
Thank you very much. I am a teacher librarian and I am looking for ways to read a story, highlight the book and had a small picture of me. This looks great.
Thanks for this video!! My mom is a college professor and she’s stressing about having to do online lectures bc of remote learning, so I’ve been doing some research to find some easy programs. Going to suggest loom to her now. Thanks!
I was looking at TVO's video archives and found a video of you on "more to life" in maybe 1999 or 2000, talking about internet security. awesome to see you're still helping people with tech! made me smile ☺️
Thank you Steve, I was watching your camtasia video but unfortunately it does not have an option for Chromebooks. After a quick search I found Loom. Then I found your video for Loom. It is a great Tutorial even three years later from the day you recorded it. Anyhow Im going to use it for the sale of steel buildings and some training.
Once again, you have done a masterful job of explaining how this tool works and I, for one, am thrilled to find such a simple way to share powerpoints with my students! I've tried all sorts of other tools but have run into numerous tech issues - Loom sounds like just the right amount of options-vs-ease for a simple tech tool. Thank you!
WOW cannot wait to get into this! Im a Prof and have been going insane trying to create educational videos. It's been a really bad "Abbott and Costello" routine! My son teaches middle school Special Ed and highly recommended LOOM! I'm in! Love your tutorial Steve and am actually NOW excited to get going! Stay tuned and HUGE THANKS! PS... will share with my other luddite cohorts!
You asked for teachers to share how they are using Loom. Im shy. Im not sharing one of mine with the world. I will explain though. I am not currently class committed so my lock down role this time around it a bit different. My school have ring fenced “story time” particularly for younger children. Every day I read a book to the 5 and 6 year olds. I start by photographing every page of the book. I make a power point with the photos. I then record myself reading the book, with my wee picture showing. I do this because younger children need the connections that brings. I am not some actor or author reading to the world. I am a teacher they know well, reading just to them. It promotes the love of books and keeps the connections going. I download the video, then post it to google classroom. I love loom, but die to some issues i had with it recently ( now resolved) I had to try Zoom. I much prefer the speed zoom gives you. Cuts the time it takes between stopping the recording and posting it to google class, by at least a half. Thank you for this video. I found the latter part of you video most informative because I am demented by messages and emails arriving during recordings. Even those coming from the school flash up more information than pupils require to know 😉
Fabulous! I made a first video successfully, but it was nice to see that I had not missed some secret information EXCEPT for the difference between the extension and the desktop version. That's very helpful. Now I'm wondering, if we upload the video to YT, whether YT can recognize and create closed captions. But that's another story! Thanks a bunch.
Great video Steve and I just discovered Loom today. It's simple and easy to use and I'll have to remember to send you a tutorial once I've created my first one (it will be photography related). I've enjoyed many of your videos over the past few years. Thanks for your tips as always and i'll pass this onto teachers as well.
Thanks again! This video was very simple, easy to understand and easy to apply:=)) I noticed that you're using a Mac computer which has good "Accessibility" features for low- vision students and adults. It allows you to enlarge the cursor/pointer so that your viewers can track your movements within the screen.
Love your stuff. And you look great on camera!. Do you have a vid sharing what you use? And if we want to share a loom vid with you how de we send it? Thx, Tina
Steve you are my "go to" guy for learning new apps, extenstions, tech. I have been watching for years. If you have a video on something to learn you are the "click" for sure. Love the essence of your positivity in all your videos (and "stormin' castles" hahahaha)! Thanks, again, for Loom intro. I also am trying Screencastify. Would you recommend one over the other?
Great video thank you. The option to select a portion of the screen only is perfect because I can then view my notes for a slide while presenting. Keeps the slide from getting cluttered and keeps me from forgetting key discussion points. Hope that helps someone else
Great tutorial! One of the best I have watched on Loom! I am an instructional coach and I will be sharing this with all my teachers! Thank you. Stay safe!
Hi Steve. Long time watcher, first-time commenter. I'm a fellow RUclipsr and course creator in the music industry (I use Screenflow and Thinkific). What editing software are you guys using these days? Specifically, how did you get the animated arrow that points to the right like that? I know ScreenFlow doesn't do that out of the box. Just curious. Keep up the great work! 🙏🏽
Thanks for this tutorial on Loom. Do you know if, with the desktop version, it is possible to record the camera only, then press pause, switch to screen only, then pause again and switch to camera only? Thanks for all that you do
Steve, for pre-recorded instructional style videos with mark up, it sounds like loom is better than zoom. I have used camtasia, but can be a bit time consuming with production and all. And on an iPad Pro.
Very clear and informative video. Thanks! Quick question, tho'. When I launch from the extension, I don't get the option to "custom size." Is that for the paid version only? Or am I missing something?

As a teacher, I appreciate your clarity! Thank you for not assuming I knew anything, like others do. Bravo!

I absolutely Love that I can create a how to/informative video from Power Point Slides! Thank you Steve!
Thanks so much! I`m a teacher from Argentina, I`ve been working a lot online lately and your videos are super helpful!

Thank you, Candace, for the warm feedback. Reading feedback like yours makes my heart sing.
Love what you do Steve and I love to introduce people to you!!
Thanks so much for all these videos. My class has been the benchmark for running a virtual class
You have the best explanation of how to LOOM! Thanks!
Wow, thank you!
I am a teacher from Australia and I have found this video really helpful. I will share on my Linkedin now. Thanks

I can't thank you enough! You're videos have been immensely helpful over the past month.
I'm so glad!
I needed to learn this (quick!) to record for a video for a job interview..Very easy to learn and thank you for the easy and fast explanation!
Loom will be a great asset to have in the toolbox.
Well done Sir, a true pro! Big fan of Loom.

starting this school years is a bit daunting. Your video instruction guided me easily to begin a video for my first day of school. Thanks so much!
Nicely done Steve! Not a surprise, you always do a GREAT JOB!!!!
Thank you very much. I am a teacher librarian and I am looking for ways to read a story, highlight the book and had a small picture of me. This looks great.
Thank you, new beginner to Loom. I really understood your video, so much easier to follow.
Thank you, Steve Dotto!
My pleasure!
Just Brilliant. This is the best explanation I have found on RUclips!! Congratulations on reaching 300K subscribers.
Thanks for this video!! My mom is a college professor and she’s stressing about having to do online lectures bc of remote learning, so I’ve been doing some research to find some easy programs. Going to suggest loom to her now. Thanks!
I saw many videos about loom app. but your video was the best
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Thanks from Zimbabwe!
Thank you too!

Thank you for such a clear, simple video. So helpful!
Thanks Steve! Comprehensive and very helpful, as always. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful, Matt!
Nice job, Steve - thanks. I'm glad you showed the additional features, like the annotation tool.
Thank You! Learning to do a virtual classroom has been a challenge, but so greatful for videos such as this to help me get started.
Enjoyable, informative video. Thank you very much!!!
This is an excellent video tutorial about loom.
I'm so glad you find it useful.
Thanks again for sharing this. I will certainly use it when I don't want to deal with Screenflow and will share it with my students too.
Thank you Steve, for all that you do ! Your instructions are done very well ! Kudos ! Sincerely the snazz
Just getting started instructing this school year and your video was incredibly helpful! Thank you!!

I loved this video. I will try out tutorials using Loom!
Loom. Zoom. Zoom. Loom.
All I wanna do is zooma loom loom loom and a zoom loom.
Thanks Steve. Excellent video. It's time to play with Loom!
Nice video on a simple video development tool. Great camera presence. Will share and save.
Thank you Uncle Steve.
Great video! I have to create a digital presentation for my white paper. This was a very helpful tutorial.

PS... will share with my other luddite cohorts!
thank you - you explain things so clearly :-)
I'm ecstatic to hear this. Thank you!
Really helpful 'how to video'. Thank you very much
Great timing for this one. I was asked to create a Loom video to further explain a software bug report. I must say, it was pretty easy and painless.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Steve. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Really well explained. Thanks so much - will be sharing to my teaching colleagues :)
Thanks a lot! Love your presentation
Hello how are you doing today ❤
Thank for sharing. i have been using Quicktime Player for some of my videos. Loom vs. Screencatify, which is better?
Thank you, Steve - I think that Loom will work just fine for my online English language courses! Well explained as usual!
Great video Steve! Thanks for it!
STEVE , I really like this app. I think I will give it a try. Thank you for that. Great Presentation by the way.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Thanks!

Great tutorials, TY! How do you do the lighting for your videos and keep your glasses from reflecting the light? What microphone do you have? TY!
Hello how are you doing today ❤
How awesome! You're great! Thank you

Se muy bien esta aplicación para cuando no tenemos tiempo para editar mucho. Thanks
Love your stuff. And you look great on camera!. Do you have a vid sharing what you use? And if we want to share a loom vid with you how de we send it? Thx, Tina
thanks for the demo of Loom. It is a superb tool due to its simplicity.
It really is!
Useful and quickly to the point. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Steve, You alerted me to EverNote and now Loom. Thanks. You're a great guy.
Glad to help

superb explanation Steve as usual. and the usual infectious enthusiasm. power to you!
Another great video and brilliant timing, too. I came across Loom yesterday and wondered “Hmmmm,... How do I incorporate this?”
Ta dah! Thanks Steve!
Awesome! Thank you!
Tanks for loom, I am going to star given classes and this is helpful, GOD Bless you.
Thank you Dotto for this video, Loom is exactly the tool I was looking for without knowing it existed. Nice job !
Glad you liked it
This is wonderful, and your presentation was fantastic. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thank you. The option to select a portion of the screen only is perfect because I can then view my notes for a slide while presenting. Keeps the slide from getting cluttered and keeps me from forgetting key discussion points. Hope that helps someone else
Glad it helped!
Great Job! Thanks
Our pleasure!
What kind of camera are you using for your videos , its so clear and bright
Love your tutorial, best so far. But What do I do wrong that I don't see the option "Custom Size" on my desktop app
Thanks... Very clear and helpful
You are welcome!😊
This is an excellent video, Steve! As an educator I thank you!!!!
As a parent, thank you!
Hey! thank you for this video!
I've been using Loom for years. Now I have to figure how you did the circular self view. Thanks again.
We also use Screenflow for this video, so you won’t be able to do all of the video effects that I use within loom
Great tutorial! One of the best I have watched on Loom! I am an instructional coach and I will be sharing this with all my teachers! Thank you. Stay safe!
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks, I think that would be some of the stock graphics we purchase, probably from Envato. We license little accents like that to include.
@@dottotech Perfect thanks. I'll check it out. I'll look to see if you have an affiliate link too for them.
Thanks for this tutorial on Loom. Do you know if, with the desktop version, it is possible to record the camera only, then press pause, switch to screen only, then pause again and switch to camera only? Thanks for all that you do
Thanks! I’m a teacher and have been using Screencastify. Their Chrome extension looks very similar to Loom.
WOW that is incredible I am on this one Steve! What a great find
Hi Steve - great video! How can I add the little graphics that you have added to your video? Your name, the graphics, dropping in, etc.?
Steve - superb resource, well done. Quick question from Ireland - zoom is not recognising my camcorder as a second camera. Any ideas?
Steve, for pre-recorded instructional style videos with mark up, it sounds like loom is better than zoom. I have used camtasia, but can be a bit time consuming with production and all. And on an iPad Pro.
Can we blur out parts of the loom? I appreciate your tutorial's.
Very clear and informative video. Thanks! Quick question, tho'. When I launch from the extension, I don't get the option to "custom size." Is that for the paid version only? Or am I missing something?
Thank you for your video! Which tool do you use to zoom on your screen (example in your video between 5:58 and 6:06)? Thanks!
