A Free Loom Alternative for a Video File

If you want a video file rather than a hosted link, this recorder does Loom's core job with no account and no cap: your screen, your voice, your face in a bubble, saved as an MP4. If you need a shareable link with viewer stats, Loom is still the better tool.

Pick what to share and the sound, then press Record.

What to share

Turn on Camera bubble for a Loom-style video, then share the whole screen.

Questions

Can I get a shareable link?

Not from this page: the video stays on your computer. Upload the MP4 to a drive or a video site you already use to get a link.

Does it record my face like Loom?

Yes, in a floating camera bubble, when you share the whole screen.

Is there a recording limit?

No time cap and no limit on how many videos you make.

Does anyone else see my recording?

No. It is made in your browser and never leaves your device unless you send it.

Ask people before you record them, on a call or in a meeting.
