Loom is a new free Chrome Extension that allows you to quickly record a video message and/or screencast and then share it immediately with students and colleagues. You can embed the video in your Moodle course or on your Website. Loom also integrates well with Google Classroom. You can share your videos via Gmail; and if you send them to another Gmail user, Loom will insert a video player into your email so your video can be played in your email. Videos can also be shared directly on Twitter and Facebook. What stands out about Loom is its ease of use.
