Loom

Overview

A tool for recording a quick video of your screen and camera and sharing it with a link, instead of writing a long message or scheduling a call.

General use

People use it to explain things asynchronously, give feedback, walk through a demo, or onboard teammates without meeting live.

Insight

Good for explaining something once on video instead of writing a long message or booking a call, and viewers can watch at their own pace. Recordings pile up and get hard to find later, and the free plan caps video length. It replaces some meetings but tempts people to send a video when two sentences would do. Best for demos, walkthroughs, and feedback that benefit from showing a screen.
