• Now, click the ‘Window’ button and choose your desired option, then click the ‘Start Recording’ button.

Step 2: Record voice over

• During recording, open the Loom video you want to add voiceover.

• Click the ‘Speaker’ icon to mute the sound in the recorded video and start speaking. You can also click the full-screen button on the video if you don't want any other content to show in the recorded video.

  

Step 3: Sync the voice over with video

• When you are done speaking, click the ‘Finish recording’ option. This will take you to the Video editor page.

• Finally, use the ‘Trim and stitch’ feature on the right pane to remove any unwanted section in the audio.
