Loom takes onboarding to the next level. My only issue is that I can't figure out how to record a video without also sharing my screen. Is that possible or am I missing something?

@josephputnam I believe that "sharing you screen" simply means granting the application access to your screen.
@josephputnam hey Joe, you are able to do three different types of recordings:
1. Desktop (your entire screen or specific application windows on your screen)
2. Tab (just the current tab you're on with no URL bar or anything else)
3. Cam-Only (just your front-facing camera)
These options can be found in that "Capture Settings" bubble all the way to the left in the box that shows up when you click our extension. If this is still confusing for you or you meant something else completely, let me know or email me directly: vinay@useloom.com

Sorry about this long letter comment... just love your tool...
======
Awesome product, using since openvid, referred several users, loved the referral gamification you've made!
I'm CEO of LinkBiz, a PPC agency and SALES+CRM Consulting company (Pipedrive and Freshdesk reseller). So... We are doing lots of tutorial videos.
# Feature REQUEST:
(...after typing the whole list below It feels like paid version is just around the corner 😏)
- MP3 only (sometimes just a 45 sec audio is enough)
- FOLDERS: organize videos in folders (say 101, 201, etc) + Share entire folder + Drag'n Drop Order videos inside folder
- "List" View (Name, Date, Description, Lenght, Short Url)
- Backup: admin option to download all videos (zip file)
- Select specific folders and give my customer access to a logged area (email + password)
- Much bigger FULL screen Button OR even double tap OR Vimeo-Like Auto-Open in full screen for Mobile (our customers often see video on mobile and sometimes its hard for then to find the "button".... I know... Hard to believe 😒)
- Freshdesk/Zendesk Integration
- Zapier Integration
- Embed Video Code
- Tags
- Short Sharing Url
- Writing tools - Text, Arrow, Square, Circle, etc
- Basic "Post-recording" edition (Camtasia-like Zoom Screen area, Cut, Blur)
- Insert Watermark Logo
- Change while recording to full screen video and back to screenshare + video bubble
- Wistia-like lead collect (after 30 sec video you have to insert e-mail to kee p watching)
- Basic Analytics (View count, Droped view time, etc)
- HD recording (720p)
- Facebook Thumbnail (if you paste the link in facebook writing box, it shows video thumbnail in timeline)
- Comment / liking video with social login
- COLLECTIONS: if the viewer have an account at loom, click "add to my collection" so video is always available inside loom account
- "Public" sharing - if selected, it will appear in public video section at loom website (where you guys could start kind of a "Top 10 videos of the week" section) or at least group by Tag Cloud (say clicking tag "SEO" or "CRM" lists all public videos marked with those tags).
- Whitelabel area (change loom logo and url to my company logo and subdomain)
- When you launch paid plans, launch also Affiliate Area (try LeadDyno http://bit.ly/leaddynofree )
That's all for now. You have proved to ship features fast. I think 2 weeks to deliver all features above its totally doable 😏😏😏
@rbrandao Thanks for all the feedback here. This is very valuable. As a token of appreciation, I've gone ahead and credited your account, you now have unlimited recording time, video access, etc :)
Feel free to email me if you have anymore feedback for Loom!

I'll check it out, but Capto http://www.globaldelight.com/cap... sits in my mac menu and does video, screenshots and has an extensive editor.
@dmerms depends on your use case. We make it very easy to share videos with others. Your video is instantly ready to share after you finish recording and has its own URL. :-)
@larrykokoszka@useloom does it not remember your choices from the last recording? It should remember those settings. If not, please feel free to email me and I'll help you debug.

In theory, having this built-in video capture capability would be great. The team's right: it is easier, more productive, more efficient to use audio/video to get your point across than to type stuff out. But the Chrome extension doesn't perform well with my older, lesser equipped workstations/laptops. So, I'm back to Camtasia for now.
