By Jason Terry, talking about a free desktop video recording application called Loom that is easy to install and use.
I love it when I get to share a cool new application or gadget with you. And this week, I wanted to make sure you had heard about Loom. (Thanks to Home Rental Services for telling me about Loom a few weeks ago.)
What is Loom? Here’s an excerpt from their website:
Loom is a video recording tool for you to be your best self at work and achieve more with your team. Record your camera, microphone, and desktop simultaneously, then your video is instantly available to share through Loom’s patented technology.
That sounds fancy, right? But what does that really mean…
Loom is a piece of software that lets you record your computer screen, your face (if you have a webcam installed) and your microphone. And it’s currently free. Traditionally, screen capture programs cost anywhere from $50-$500 and take a bit of time and energy to install and learn how to use.
Currently, Loom only works in Google Chrome
Loom is a free “extension” for the Google Chrome browser. Assuming you have Google Chrome installed, all you have to do is go to the Loom website and click on the “Install on Chrome” button in the middle of the home page. (https://www.useloom.com)
You will need to set up a Loom account before you can start recording. This is required because your recorded videos are hosted with Loom, and you want to have control over how and where your videos can be seen and shared. (You can download your videos as well, but they start out being hosted at Loom.) So go ahead and set up your free account.
Once Loom is installed, there will be a new icon in the Chrome toolbar. (It looks like the icon above.) You click it and get a configuration screen that looks like this:
As you can see, you have the option of recording your screen and webcam, your screen only, or your webcam only. You can also choose to record your entire desktop or just the current tab in the Chrome browser. You click the Start Recording button and a three second countdown is displayed before recording begins. And now you’re recording!
So go ahead and record a test video. This could be a “How To” video walking someone through a piece of software. Or it could be a video blog. Once you’re done, click the green check mark to save your video. It’s that easy!
Here is a 5-second clip of me recording the home page of BlueGurus.com and waving at ya:

(You can see me looking down to click the green check mark to stop recording.)
Sharing Your Video
Once you finish recording, you’re given a URL to copy that you can share in email, on social media, etc. You can also download your video file in .mp4 format once it has been processed. (For those of you that want complete control over your content.)
You can password protect videos that you only want certain people to see. People can comment on your videos. You can get notified when someone views your video. There’s all kinds of cool functionality, and I really can’t believe that it’s free.
Try it out!
There are definitely situations where a video is so much better than a bunch of text. And Loom makes it easy and free to create videos. So next time you want to tell someone happy birthday, walk them through using your accounting software for time entry, or make a video that shows people how to use your web application, give Loom a shot. I think you will find it’s really easy to use. Let me know if you try it out!

Its a familiar and sad story: A business traveler, on her way to an important meeting, entered a busy airport. Her laptop was taken, along with sensitive company information and all the data needed for that vital meeting.
But Im not talking about a traveler whose laptop was stolen while she was stuck in a busy security line or getting a cup of coffee. Im talking about a business traveler whose laptop was taken from her legally and who didnt get it back for almost a year. Indeed, it wasnt a thief who took this womans laptop but a U.S. customs official.
Customs agents, under U.S. law, have wide latitude when it comes to searching and inspecting travelers and their possessions, including random seizures without probable cause.

The incident described above was a major point of concern at a recent conference of the Association of Corporate Travel Executives, or ACTE, a group that is working to get the U.S. government to provide clear guidelines on when a laptop can be seized by customs officials and to warn business travelers about the seizure risk.
There doesnt seem to be any evidence that these types of seizures are happening with any kind of frequency. Only 1 percent of the surveyed members of ACTE knew of someone who had a laptop seized by customs officials.
But if youve ever lost a laptop, whether to customs or carelessness, you know how disastrous it can be. Losing your laptop often means losing the ability to do your job. It also can mean that vital and sensitive company information is no longer in your control.
The alarm sounded by ACTE is just another reason for companies to either create or improve policies for locking down data stored on laptops and other mobile devices.
Businesses worried about the loss of sensitive data should investigate the use of encryption programs to protect important files and directories on mobile systems. If your business is all about sensitive information, you may want to look at tools that encrypt the entire system disk.
However, while encryption will help keep information from falling into the wrong hands (or at least help keep such information from being readable), it doesnt do much good for the poor business travelers walking into important meetings without any of the information, files and presentations they need to successfully perform at the meetings.
Thats why travelers should always have backup plans for getting to all the information theyll need. Strategies include storing relevant information on a secure USB drive, encrypting files on recordable CDs or on networks, or sending information to themselves via Web-accessible e-mail. (I recommend using a combination of two or more of these strategies.)
Getting back to the customs issue, there may not be a big risk of losing your laptop to customs officials right now, but I think that ACTE is doing the right thing by bringing the risk to light before it grows. If the group can get the government to clarify the situations under which a laptop may be seized, it will help businesses to adjust their laptop security and travel policies accordingly.
Theres also a small chance that relief may come from the courts. According to a recent New York Times article on this subject, a federal court in California ruled that border searches of personal electronic information should be based on a reasonable suspicion, making the point that a persons laptop can have as much personal and private data on it as a person has in his or her own home.
I completely agree with this idea and hope that other courts do, too. But, no matter what happens in the case of customs agents and laptops, theres a good chance that someday you will lose a laptop while traveling. If youre prepared for that situation, then the only thing youll have lost is the actual hardware.
