How can I start to use Loom effectively ?

[Bob Menlove]

How can I start to create loom videos that resonate well with my audience

I have been using the platform for at least a year but have been reluctant to send out videos as they are not joined up

I can easily create PowerPoint slides that I can convert into an MP4 file

when I start to use loom and put the camera in the bottom left hand corner I get a number of problems

• either my camera does not work after a series of attempts
• but more importantly I find it difficult to coordinate my voiceovers on the screen with moving slides to record the content

does anybody have any advice on how to improve?

is there a collaborative group who help each other?

Hi Bob 👋

Thanks for posting in the Loom Community! You're in the right place for collaborative support!

I'd highly recommend watching this Loom 101 webinar. It's jam packed with information, tips, and tricks to help you use Loom to it's fullest. I promise you'll gain a ton of helpful info!

Which app are you using to record? Desktop or Chrome Extension? I find the Desktop App best when I'm using my cam bubble over multiple applications like a Powerpoint. Plus, it has our Speaker Notes feature, which is really helpful for effortless voiceovers! 

I cover all these details and more on the webinar linked. Feel free to let us know how it goes, and share any additional questions you have.

P.S. If you ever need technical support (i.e. in the case of a disappearing camera bubble), you can contact our support team by clicking the question mark button in the bottom right of your Loom account.
