I love it. I forget why I quit using Loom but you're my new default now.

One feature request: When I press "Start Recording" via the browser, I don't want it to immediately start recording that screen. Give me a 3…2…1…Go with a sound so I can minimize my browser and show what I want to record. I don't all my videos to start with me fumbling for the Start button.

Thank you so much!

100%, this is a priority. Should have it done soon, as well as a "startover" button.

Heck make it even better by making that an option, so the user can set the countdown to their preference.

Wonder whats the status of AI which knows which durations can be edited out since you were fumbling with mouse movements and voice. Bonus points if it detects "takes" of the same scene. Around 2005, Linux users were recording TV on their PCs and detecting/skipping ads automatically and soon after, podcast apps were skipping lulls in the voice.
