Loom

Loom is a screen-recording and video-messaging tool that lets you capture your screen and camera and share a quick video instead of writing a long message or scheduling a meeting. Used across 400,000 companies, it's built on a simple insight: sometimes it's far faster (and clearer) to show and say something than to type it out.

What Loom is

Loom lets you record your screen, camera, or both — from a Chrome extension, desktop or mobile app — then instantly share a link or embed the video anywhere. It handles the editing (trim, stitch, add text and arrows), transcribes and captions in 50+ languages, and adds engagement features like reactions, comments and CTAs, so an async video becomes a real communication channel, not just a recording.

Who it's for

Loom serves teams across functions: sales for personalized outreach, engineering for code walkthroughs, support for troubleshooting, and design for feedback — plus enterprises needing secure, scalable video. Anyone who finds themselves writing long explanations, or stuck in meetings that could have been a two-minute video, is a natural user.

Faster than a meeting, clearer than a message

Loom's core value is async communication that actually lands. A quick video conveys tone, context and visual detail that a written message can't, and it doesn't require everyone to be available at the same time like a meeting does. For distributed and busy teams, that means fewer meetings and less back-and-forth — you record once, and colleagues watch when it suits them, often at faster playback. It's communication that respects everyone's time.

Show, don't type

Some things are simply hard to explain in text — a bug, a design change, a walkthrough of a complex process. Loom lets you show your screen while you talk, so the recipient sees exactly what you mean. Sales teams use it for personalized outreach that stands out, support uses it to demonstrate fixes, and engineers use it for code reviews. That "show, don't type" ability is why it spread across so many different roles.

Smart features that save more time

Loom keeps adding intelligence on top of recording. Automatic transcriptions and captions in 50+ languages make videos accessible and searchable, viewer insights show who watched and how far, and AI can even turn a recording of a bug into a populated Jira work item automatically. Those touches turn Loom from a simple recorder into a genuine productivity tool that reduces manual follow-up work.

Fits wherever your team works

Loom is built to slot into existing workflows rather than become another destination. It records from a Chrome extension, desktop or mobile app, and shares or embeds into 100+ tools including Slack, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Figma and Jira — so a video can live right inside the pull request, the support ticket or the design file where it's relevant. Privacy controls and viewer insights let you decide who sees each video and know whether it landed. That deep integration is why Loom becomes a natural habit instead of an extra step.

Why choose Loom

For individuals and teams that want to communicate faster and more clearly than writing or meetings allow, Loom is a leading choice. Its effortless recording, easy editing and sharing, deep integrations, multilingual transcripts and AI features make it a practical way to replace long messages and unnecessary meetings with quick, personal videos — helping distributed teams move faster while actually understanding each other better.
