How to Use the Sign Language Tool
You can use the Sign Language Tool to record video directly in Bloom, using your computer’s camera.
When you initially make a Sign Language book, the Sign Language Tool — located on the far right-hand side — will open automatically. What is being captured by the video camera device your computer is using will appear in the tool window.
If Bloom cannot find your video camera, you will see a message No camera found. You may need to ask a computer technician to help with this problem.
Record Video in the Sign Language Tool
To begin recording video of you or the individual signing, click on the round record icon.
A 3-2-1 
will begin. When the countdown finishes, recording will begin.
When you are finished recording, click the record icon again to stop recording, or touch any key on the keyboard.
Note: The Sign Language Tool does not record audio.
Review Your Video
A thumbnail of the video you have recorded will now appear in the video section of this page. If you hover your mouse over the video thumbnail on the page, a play icon will appear. This indicates that a video file has been successfully inserted into this page.
Click the play icon to review your video.
