Recommended Tool
I’ve used Vimeo for years to store and publish online videos. More recently, I began using Vimeo Screen Record — a free tool to help you create video screen captures. It’s similar to tools like Loom. Great for video thank you notes, training videos, and other quick-hit videos where you want to capture yourself on camera and/or show what your doing on your computer screen.
