Default recording settings

Both Loom’s Chrome Extension and Desktop app have sticky recording settings. This means the settings you set for your previous recording will roll over to your next recording. 

The recording settings saved from your previous recording include:

  • Capture mode (a specifc window, your entire screen, or just your camera)

  • Camera source

  • Audio source

All other recording settings can be adjusted to suit your preferences. Here's how to edit your other recording settings.

Desktop app (Mac OS)

  1. Open the Desktop app, select More actions (), then Recording settings.

  2. Change settings like your resolution, the recording countdown, and which parts of the UI to hide.

  3. Select More actions (), then Backgrounds to choose a default recording background.

Desktop app (Windows and older Macbooks) 

  1. Open the Desktop app, select More actions (), then Settings.

  2. From the Enhance and Video & audio tab, you will be able to manage all of your recording settings. These settings will be saved as a default setting unless changed.

Chrome Extension

  1. Open the Chrome Extension, select More actions (), then Settings.

  2. From here, you will be able to manage all of your other recording settings. These settings will be saved as default settings unless changed.
