Loom

Loom is a video messaging tool that allows individuals, teams, and businesses to create and easily share video messages on practically any platform.

Loom offers a faster and more personal alternative to writing long text messages, explaining lengthy processes, or sharing updates over emails and meetings. It lets you record quick videos and offer a more engaging experience for your recipients with better context and data.

The Loom recorder allows you the flexibility to record your screen exactly as you want. You can record a single tab, a single window, or your entire screen—with or without your camera on. It also lets you decide where your face appears inside the recording.

Loom links are easily shareable. The tool even adds the link to your clipboard right after you create the video, and you can just paste it anywhere online, and your recipients can click and watch the video. Loom also sends you real-time notifications when someone views your videos. You can see who viewed your video and when they did.

Need to edit a video before you share? Loom provides you with features to perform basic video editing before sharing your videos. Rename and describe your video, trim it, choose and add a thumbnail, add a call-to-action button and transcribe the video.

Loom is also perfect for business and team internal documentation. For example, you can record evergreen videos for important business knowledge materials like employee/customer onboarding, business standard operation processes (SOPs), walkthroughs, answers to FAQs, and more.

The Loom Library will offer you a centralized place to keep all your knowledge materials, create folders and classify your information. Teammates, customers, or the right people can always refer to the library to self-serve what they need and learn things.

Loom offers users a Chrome extension that makes recording your screen easy and fun. All you need to do is click on the Chrome extension button, confirm your camera and mic, choose where you want to record, and get started.
