How do we get rid of the recording bar when we're recording?

Hey @Suz Chadwick !

There is a setting within the Loom App, under the Enhance tab, that lets you determine if the recording controls are visible.

The options are

  • Hide only in final video
  • Hide while recording
  • Show

I prefer "Hide only in final video" as it lets me pause or stop the recording easily. However, you can choose what works best for you!

Hope this helps,

Robert

Hi Robert, thanks for that - I can't see enhance on my desktop when I go to settings. Can I access it from desktop?

@Suz Chadwick I am on a Mac, and I am able to get to these settings by 

  1. Clicking the Loom Icon in my Mac's menu bar 
  2. Clicking the "More" button in the bottom right of the Loom app menuScreenshot 2026-01-14 at 7.53.06 PM.png
  3. Clicking the "Settings" option from the pop-up menuScreenshot 2026-01-14 at 7.53.30 PM.png
  4. Clicking the "Enhance" tab in the top of this new menuScreenshot 2026-01-14 at 7.53.47 PM.png

If you're on windows, the process should be similar. I am uncertain if you can make these changes using the Chrome extension.

All good thanks! I was using the chrome extension not the app. So I've downloaded that and can see the settings bar now. Thanks, really appreciate your help. Suz
