[Closed] LOOM!

I'm trying to use LOOM to record a tutorial video in connection with a job application. It seems to be massively glitchy and slows down the whole laptop - anyone out there have real life experience with it. Are there better alternatives?

TIA

Thought this was going to be about a re-make of the 1990 point n click. Disappointed.

I was looking forward to some chat about weaving. Disappointed.

Genuinely the same here.

I used it quite a lot over the last year to record lectures.
It records to the cloud, so if you don't have a great internet connection, I can imagine it will be problematic. I have also used quicktime (on a mac), which works ok, but doesn't allow you to do the talking head thing. For this, quite a few folk seem to use zoom, which may be worth a try.

"LOOM" the buggiest, slowest piece of malware I've had the misfortune to encounter. How anyone uses it I really don't know. Off to find an alternative that doesn't require a supercomputer to run.

I got on OK with it recording 12 hours of lectures but kept it very very simple because I was running on a Windows 7 laptop. Mrs DPFR, on the other hand, struggled with her fancy Windows 10 computer and in the end had to borrow my primitive computer to get it to work.

So keep it simple and use a crap computer!
