I used OBS Studio.
No, I did not; I used OBS Studio. I like talking narcissistically, but OBS works fine for recording.
I record with OBS Studio, using a Sony A7C camera for video and a window‑capture setup. I have multiple scenes – a main camera view, a screen‑share overview, and a blurred screen‑share for confidential info.
The issue is likely your computer's RAM, not the webcam. When I used a low-end machine with many tabs open, Loom recordings were jittery due to insufficient bit rate. I now use a high-end MacBook (about $5k) that my father recommended; it makes my work far easier. Loom is better than recording with a camera or smartphone because it captures your screen directly and gives you an instant web-accessible link, whereas a camera would require downloading the file, uploading it elsewhere, and sharing the link—three or four extra steps that are a massive pain for my outreach work.
It's called OBS Studio. I use it to record my screen; it creates an infinite window effect because I'm recording a screen that's recording a screen. I have two scenes: a talking head/full face scene and a bottom-right corner scene, switched via hotkeys (though my hotkeys are broken today). For writing on screen, I use Presentify, which I bought for $10, and I use my tablet like a mouse.
