About

Loom is an AI-powered video messaging and screen recording platform designed to help teams communicate asynchronously with coworkers, customers, and other stakeholders. Users can record their screen, camera, or both through Loom’s desktop apps, mobile apps, or Chrome extension and then share the resulting video with a link or embed. The platform includes editing tools for trimming and stitching clips, adding text and visual annotations, and customizing video presentation. Collaboration features include comments, emoji reactions, tasks, calls to action, transcripts, captions, and multilingual support for distributed teams. Loom AI can turn recordings into written documentation and structured work items, including Jira issues that automatically capture technical context such as browser, operating system, console errors, and network activity. Enterprise features include SSO, SCIM, custom retention policies, privacy controls, viewer insights, and integrations with other software tools.

About

We believe people should be able to speak freely, share opinions, foster open dialogue, and that creative freedom leads to new voices, formats and possibilities. We believe everyone should have easy, open access to information and that video is a powerful force for education, building understanding, and documenting world events, big and small. We believe everyone should have a chance to be discovered, build a business and succeed on their own terms, and that people—not gatekeepers—decide what’s popular. We believe everyone should be able to find communities of support, break down barriers, transcend borders and come together around shared interests and passions.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Very good platform for recording videos for many purposes like meetings, intros, video demos and much more. Very light weight, desktop platform, the extension also makes it fairly easy to record anywhere on your desktop or browser.
  • Easy to use, quick way to send messages that would take a long time to type, like how I can track to see if the video was viewed.
  • Loom is SUPER easy to use. It's by far the easiest way to take a video or screen capture (with narration) and share quickly with anyone. Our teachers use it to record lessons and share them with their students - all they need to do is email or post the link to their video. It's great that they are just sharing the link, not the actual video file, so there is nothing to store or complicating file sharing service. Loom offers their product free for schools which is a great and generous service.
  • We use Loom primarily to train team members on new technologies or procedures. I love how easy it is to make an easily accessible video we both a video window and a nice big screen share.
  • Loom is a slick product, easy to use and good interface. I find it very helpful to record notes for my team on various task that they can use for reference. Also their transcript feature is very good, I often use it to record calls on Zoom instead.

Cons

  • Not necessarily a negative, but there is a time limit on recording if you don't have a pricing plan, which is fairly cheap, starting at just $10 a month.
  • Is sometimes slow switching from tab to tab quickly, but not a huge issue.
  • Loom is dependent on the Internet as part of the process of recording and saving the video content. While very rare, this can cause trouble as the Internet isn't always reliable.
  • No big complaints. The tool is fairly easy to use, but could be a bit more intuitive when you first start using.
  • No strong cons. The UI of their interface could be a bit more organized in terms of folder structures and the workspace, but otherwise it's a breeze to use.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Used to have pros. No ads, nothing mainstream, it was YOUtube not Corporatetube; like it actually is now.
  • Its free to use. Good source to earn revenue if you have a channel. International exposure. Integrates easily. Broadcast live anywhere you are. Can download and watch offline later. Share a good amount of information to a lot of people in a short time. Visual and audio quality is fair.
  • YouTube has an extensive monopoly over the world. It is very welcoming... at first, then, if you have an opinion you will lose your channel very, very fast.
  • - YouTube has a very user-friendly layout, that can be used by anyone. - There is video available on any topic you want to see. - Its algorithm works great and suggests some great videos according to your taste.
  • - It is by far the best platform to share and watch videos for free. - The UI is very smooth and user-friendly, anyone can use it without any technical knowledge. - It is available on all platforms.

Cons

  • Freedom of thought is not permitted. Everything is manipulated by the algorithm and various forms of censorship. Likes and dislikes aren't even recorded accurately. That type of code is as basic as it gets, to make the counter miscount, one would have to add more code, making this move clearly intentional.
  • There are too many adverts on the free platform so one is forced to use premium for better undisturbed viewing. It's difficult to start earning. The video and audio quality can be improved.
  • I didn't like the way YouTube is now the law in all things, even though they won't specify any problems they may say they are finding, other than generic. So, it becomes impossible to 'fix' content before they have completely banned the channel.
  • - It really pushes the YouTube premium to the point that it becomes annoying.
  • - The android version of the application is buggy, while downloading and watching videos simultaneously, the application lags a lot. - There are too many unskippable ads now on the platform.
