Loom

Loom is an asynchronous video recording tool: it captures your screen and webcam to deliver a message as video instead of a meeting or a long email. Acquired by Atlassian, it's one of the biggest names in async communication, with millions of users.

What is Loom for?

You record a demo, feedback, or an explanation, and share it as a simple link. The recipient watches whenever they want, at their own pace, and can react with comments. Loom automatically transcribes, splits into chapters, and, with AI, generates titles, summaries, and notes while trimming out dead air and filler words. It's the tool of choice for distributed teams that want fewer meetings.

What is Loom used for?

Support teams showing instead of writing, sales reps personalizing a demo, product teams documenting a feature, managers giving feedback: anywhere a short video beats a thread of messages. Integrations with Slack, Jira, Gmail, or Salesforce embed these videos into tools people already use.

How much does Loom cost?

The Starter plan is free (up to 25 videos per person, 5 minutes each). The Business plan at $18/user/month removes those limits (unlimited videos and length, up to 4K, analytics). The Business + AI plan at $24 adds AI features. An Enterprise offer covers large accounts.
