loom screen recording tool provides a brush function, you can draw key points while recording, and automatically upload it to the cloud after recording.

Most of the screen recording tools only have the function of recording the screen. Therefore, for those who make instructional videos or want to have marking tools during the recording process, they can only use post-production to make up for it, but this is another process and takes more time. The loom screen recording tool we are going to introduce in this article has a brush function, which you can open and use at any time during recording to let the viewer know better which area of the screen you are talking about. After recording, the video will be automatically uploaded to the cloud and shared directly with others. This is quite convenient, and both Windows and Mac versions are available.
