Today Sunday, April 27, 2025, we successfully held our much-anticipated webinar, “Video Creation Tools for Educators,” and it was a great success!
Thank you to all the educators, trainers, and digital enthusiasts who participated and made it such an engaging and insightful session.
About the Webinar:
The session focused on empowering educators with practical skills in using three essential video creation tools — Loom, Clipchamp, and OBS Studio.
Participants learned how to easily record lessons, edit videos professionally, and create high-quality teaching content for their classrooms and online platforms.
Key Highlights:
✅ Exploring Loom:
In this session, we introduced participants to Loom, a powerful yet simple tool for recording and sharing videos.
What is Loom?
Loom is an easy-to-use video recording tool that allows you to quickly record your screen, camera, or both at the same time.
It’s designed to help you communicate faster and more personally — instead of writing long emails or instructions, you can send a short video explaining everything visually.
Key Features of Loom:
Screen recording: Capture your entire screen, a specific window, or a browser tab.
Camera recording: Record yourself speaking alongside your screen.
Instant sharing: Videos are automatically uploaded, and you get a link to share immediately.
Viewer insights: See who watched your video and how much they viewed.
Easy trimming: Edit out mistakes without needing complicated software.
Why Educators Love Loom:
Record video lessons or tutorials quickly.
Give personalized feedback to students.
Create onboarding videos for new students or staff.
Save time on explanations and instructions.
Students can rewatch videos anytime!
We covered how educators can use Loom to:
Record their screen, camera, or both simultaneously to create engaging instructional videos.
Walk through presentations, demonstrate software tools, or explain complex concepts visually for students.
Personalize communication by recording video feedback for students, making learning more interactive and meaningful.
Quickly share videos via instant links, removing the need for heavy file uploads or complex sharing processes.
Organize videos into folders for different subjects or classes, making it easy to manage and retrieve learning materials.
Use Loom’s basic editing tools to trim unwanted parts of the video before sharing.
Set video privacy settings — public, private, or restricted to specific viewers — to control who can see the content.
View insights and analytics to know how many students watched the videos and how long they engaged.
We also discussed practical examples like:
Creating welcome videos for new students.
Sending video instructions for homework or projects.
Recording demonstration lessons for asynchronous (self-paced) learning.
Participants were amazed at how Loom saves time and makes communication more personal and effective, especially in blended and remote learning environments.

Exploring Professional Recording with OBS Studio
In this session, we also explored OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) — a free, open-source tool trusted by professionals for high-quality video recording and live streaming.\
OBS Studio allows educators to create polished, engaging recordings without expensive software. Here’s what we covered:
High-Quality Screen Recording:
Easily record your full screen, a specific application window, or a selected area in crisp HD or even 4K resolution.
Multiple Sources in One Scene:
OBS lets you combine different elements — like your screen, webcam video, presentation slides, and images — into one recording. You can design your scene to suit your lesson.
Customizable Layouts:
You can freely move and resize your webcam feed, overlay logos, add text captions, and arrange materials creatively for a professional look.
Audio Management:
Record your microphone and system sounds separately. You can balance volume levels, mute background noise, and even add background music to enhance your videos.
Smooth Scene Transitions:
Create seamless transitions between different views, such as switching from a title slide to a live demonstration during your recording.
Filters and Effects:
OBS allows you to add effects like color correction, brightness adjustments, sharpening, and noise suppression to improve both video and audio quality.
Easy Recording and Saving:
After recording, your session can be saved in multiple formats (MP4, MKV, etc.) and uploaded to your learning platforms, YouTube, Google Drive, or shared directly with students.

➔ Record lesson tutorials
➔ Create software walkthroughs
➔ Produce flipped classroom content
