Loom Button

Loom allows users to record their screen, camera, or both at the same time.

The Loom Button brings Loom’s recording capabilities directly to your Moodle site's Atto editor -- no user install (or even user account!) is required for your users to create video content.

Implementation requires you to sign up for a Public App ID through the Loom Developer Portal.

Features

• Instant editing of a Loom
• Custom descriptions with timestamps
• Video and GIF embedding (with Loom Embed plugin)
• Transcripts
• Custom theming
• All other current and future Loom functionality
