VP of Product Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Enables effective asyncronous communication" December 25, 2022 5.0 Pros Loom is my go-to tool for when I'm trying to explain or communicating something that would take a long time to explain over chat or doesn't require a meeting. Loom has a convenient desktop app so I can start my recording in seconds, and as soon as I'm done, a link is automatically copied to my clipboard to the recording - the video processing is done in the background, so there is no need to wait.Prior to using Loom, I found competitors tools to be unreliable - I'd get to the end of the video only to not be able to complete the recording, or the audio was missing. I've never had such issues with Loom. Cons I don't dislike anything about Loom, it is a solid tool. With the addition of build in screen recording in Slack, it'll be interesting to see if I become less reliant on Loom, or if they will continue to innovate in a way that retains the value of the tool.

April 27, 2022 4.0 Loom helps me create high-quality educational content and deliver engaging presentations. It enhances learning outcomes and increases my audience's likelihood of attending my future webinars. Pros Loom makes slide decks more engaging and comprehensive. It has innovative slides transitions and content animations that help me deliver better remote learning experiences and business presentations. Cons It's a high demand for computer resources, especially the graphics processor. It requires devices with relatively high processing power to work as seamlessly as expected.

Onwer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solid platform with limitations and less innovative features" December 7, 2022 4.0 Overall Loom is really great but now looking at the current market and trend there are lot of other players coming with futuristic technology like personalization and collaboration nd branding. I have asked this question to myself i.e. the reason I should opt for Loom over other products but I guess Loom won't be my final solution. These guys seem to be happy with past development and not bringing something new.I will pass this bcs just like that I finally don;t want to proceed with Loom just like I won't go for Lemlist since other players are there irth fantastic features etc. Pros It's quick fast and easy. Also, the platform seem very stable with little to no bugs basis my working on the platform. Cons No Image personalization No Gif personalization No Email personalization Less Innovative features etc... Reason for choosing Loom Initially I thought they will bring in more features but that doesn't seem to hold true. Although, I used it and using it but very limited.

Tried to reach customer tech support and avoid subscription cancellation, requested escalation - Nothing. Invested two weeks trouble shooting, waiting, moving on to other part so a project, waiting, then, something else doesn't work, now - recording uploading for over 12 hrs - and no customer response despite 3-4 tickets over 6 days. I'm done. Good luck to all... Pros Potential - Current project requires Loom proposed functionality Cons After completing first project tasks..\* No Cam/Screen in dropdown menu- no customer service response\* Next, no cap when recording slide, no playback video recorded\* Next, moved to different browser - now have cam/screen\* Next, nothing - still uploading - 12 hours later\* Created over 4 tickets in 6 days - one acknowledgment, before additional 3 tickets over 4 days Reason for choosing Loom I was excited at it's apparent ease of use, quality, but, regrettably, it was recommended Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Leader Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Loom unlocks the new level of video-supported marketing and sales." July 4, 2023 5.0 Loves it! Pros apart from outstanding software solutions and technical features, I was very impressed with the support team. I had a few issues with managing the team members and admins and billing on Loom and I absolutely loved the customer support experience, everything was handled quickly and the team made me feel confident they will do everything to solve our case. Cons I believe there could be additional options for securing the content when sharing it with clients/partners, to ensure data privacy.

February 14, 2024 5.0 Positive under all aspects I am very looking forward to attend the next webinar so I can have a better training on how to use its features for our new website launch! Pros I started using this app with the free trial. I use it on daily basis since I work a lot with customer service and it is much easier a very short video explaining any process. Everything is automated! The system will just cut pauses and provide title and description of the video with AI features. You receive notification real time from who watched the video. Among colleagues is also useful. Instead of creating manuals and long books explaining all process/rules in place you can just use Loom to show a new trainee how's the job and what he/she should be doing. As remote worker for an international company this has been a game changer. Even when I am off/away my colleague can go to the library of training and see how it is done. Absolutely brilliant app! I am happy to have now the subscription so I can extend the use of AI features. Cons There is nothing really I did not like about loom so far. I am happy with it, and will attend also webinars Reason for choosing Loom It appeared to be the best on the market, so I gave it a try starting with the free trial, now my company has a subscription Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One click recording!!!" May 25, 2022 4.0 I use loom to share progress demos of the application I am developing with the team as well as to share the errors I am facing while developing an application. Pros Loom comes with a browser extension that provides a very quick option to start recording. Loom also automatically generates a link when the recording finishes. Loom even provides comment and emoji reaction features and its video player is also very smooth to use. Cons For free account loom limits recording of each video to 5 minutes which is sufficient to record project demons but some time recording exceeds the time limit. Also for the free account number of total videos that can be stored is limited to 25. Review Source JA James A. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Loom is not just a screen recording software, but also a good communication tool with your team!" December 23, 2022 5.0 Loom is my go-to-solution when it comes to team communication. Sometimes, it's so hard to describe or instruct things to your team, sometimes i want to just show them (screen record) instead of telling! Pros I like the round video screen that shows my face when recording. Also, i love Loom's ease of use using the Chrome extension. Cons I need to have a square version of the video preview, since it's just round. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Cofounder Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Market Leader... just because" May 20, 2022 5.0 Good Tool, but overpriced. Pros Loom is a great screen recorder. They are the market leader in Screen Recording software & they are the least buggy out of all of them. Cons The price certainly does not justify the tool. I can get a dozen Screen recorders that do pretty much exactly the same as Loom (and many times more) for less than half the price. Review Source LM Layne M. Global Head of Product Operations Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Incredibly easy video making extension for Chrome" August 25, 2022 5.0 I use it for demonstrating to engineering when I run into a possible bug, training videos for task instructions, and delegating tasks when I need to demonstrate how something is done. Pros I love how easy it is to make a short clip of myself and/or my screen. Cons The only frustration I run into is not being able to record from my camera simultaneously whenever I'm screen-sharing using my company's proprietary software platform. I'm pretty sure it's a security setting on our engineering team's end though, and not Loom's fault.

January 23, 2020 5.0 Working in a purely virtual environment, Loom is an incredible communication tool for me. It's appealing in design and easy to use. I use Loom on almost a daily basis to communicate ideas and ask questions of my co-workers. I don't know what I'd do without it! Pros Loom is incredibly easy to use and is a dependable piece of software. It saves me time in the office. Instead of typing out a lengthy explanation for an idea or troubling over the wording of a question, I can make a quick Loom to share with a co-worker to help express ideas and find solutions more quickly. Cons I wish that the free content was either unlimited or that it was easier to delete older material so that I don't reach my quota for free videos so quickly. It's time-consuming to go into my profile and delete old files. It'd be great if there were a bulk way to select old videos and delete them. Review Source RF Rodrigo F. Senior Customer Success Partner Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Loom makes my life so much easier .. " May 8, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Loom is excellent .. in the last 3 years+ loom has been my best friend in optimizing time in the best way possible Pros I love that I can share quick videos with my key account customers and my team. This helps me to save a lot of time and be more productive .. I just love it and I use every single day Cons I think a bit more option to edit the video that would be nice .. Review Source Asraful I. Booking Officer Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Could-based video communication is easy now." March 14, 2022 5.0 I have solved a lot of working issues through Loom communication now. This working as like really productive for me. Pros I often use this app for my personal use to record my screen and share it with others. Most probably this is the pioneer in cloud-based screed recording apps. This so a productive and time-saving method to instruct/communicate with others through video. Really love it. Cons I think they are missing with multiple-person video engagement. If they add a feature that allows recording a video with two or more people at a time that would be awesome. Review Source Benn H. Senior Information Technology Business Analyst Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Loom - a simple way to make tutorials" May 5, 2022 5.0 Loom is an excellent tool to collaborate with your team, since you can describe the steps of a procedure for some software or some complex task, I like that you can combine recording your screen and at the same time using the camera, Loom is practical and its interface It is intuitive, it does not require much time to know how to use it and can be share easy with a link. Pros What I could emphasize the most is that Loom is very simple to use; it is a software that does not take up much screen space, it is unobtrusive, and you can select the plugin on any screen and record what I am doing; it also has the ability to turn the microphone on and off as needed. It is considerably more useful than written instructions to teach how to execute a task or administer a computer because I can create tutorials. Cons While I like how simple the desktop app is, I wish loom had more options for video editing.

Co-Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I cannot live without Loom for asynchronous work" November 19, 2023 5.0 Overall, Loom is my go-to software that I probably paid the longest without any interruption. In my stack, it's of the tools I use the most. Loom is perfect for asynchronous work/conversations to save time on meeting in my opinion. Pros What I like the most about Loom is its ease-of-use. In 5 minutes, you can record a video and share it. It's the best tool out there for asynchronous work. I use it for my team but also for sales prospecting and product updates. Cons The software can be buggy at times even if you have all the recent updates set up. I also wasn't a big fan of the AI generated summary. I think they can make a better use of AI.

August 9, 2022 5.0 I create videos for several different parts of my business. I send videos to my team with feedback or instructions, to my clients walking them through different things, for my courses and trainings and more. Loom helps me manage all of them. Pros I love how easy it is to create a video with the characteristic I need (screen record, screen record + video, just video, etc). I create a lot of videos for my business and loom makes it easy to do so. Cons I haven't found anything yet that I don't like. Review Source Wendell J. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great screen recording software" June 21, 2023 5.0 Loom is a great platform to create video documentation of your processes, show something specific that a screenshot wont allow or just a way to use video to explain things to a team member or client. Pros Loom is very easy to setup and use. The editing of your videos is simple and has no learning curve. Cons I wish there was more functionality within the free version.

I love that you can share your entire screen, desktop or just a window. It is perfect to answer a quick question without having to jump on a phone call or get lost in instant messaging. 90% of the SOPs we create are done using Loom. Pros The most impactful features are screen share. Now with the introduction of the Chrome extensions, it's easier than ever! Cons There is nothing that I don't like. Loom is inexpensive and super easy to use.

We are a small business and it is exactly what we needed. Review Source JS Jim S. Director of Sales Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easiest and best value" August 26, 2021 5.0 Pros I love how simple it is to record a screen session and share it. 3 or 4 mouse clicks and the 3 second countdown timer appears and when it hits zero I am recording. When I finish recording and hit the stop button, I'm instantly at the page where I can watch the video and the URL to share the video is already in my clipboard. It can be a simple how-to video to share with one person, or a long tutorial designed to be viewed by every person in the organization. Cons I wish the default could be set to screen only, instead the default is screen and camera with my head in a circle in the lower left corner. Review Source DD Domenico D. Business Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use it daily, very practical to use, simple but incredibly powerful. " May 6, 2023 5.0 Simplicity and ease of use are its two best features, the resolution is also excellent and the tools available are many and very intuitive. best software to record screen in speed Pros Always at hand thanks to the extension with chrome.

Being able to share my thoughts/updates with colleagues at work without opening my PC mean a lot. Cons Lack of video editing and improvement tools. There's no way for me to improve my video quality or adjust certain things in video like brightness etc. Once the recording is stopped, Loom starts to upload. Sad. Review Source CR Carly R. Owner Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Great Video Tool for Fast & Clear Collboration!" November 6, 2022 5.0 Overall I highly recommend Loom Video! It's a really nifty tool that is definitely utilized in this modern world of phones and Zoom. I really don't like setting up, planning, and sitting on Zoom for hours and this replaces that when it's really not necessary. I also deal with a lot of people overseas and this works so well for sharing work ideas with them when we can't talk regularly. Plus you can watch the video over and over so to me it's actually a more information way to present info to people. It's a really great idea and the execution is just a good. It's a product I use almost daily and will continue to use it and recommend it to anyone collaborating with others for work! Pros I really love the overall concept of Loom! It makes it really easy to send videos back and forth to people or teams you're working with, so you can adequately convey your message without the need for long video calls. The platform is also super simple to use which makes the whole process easier. Cons The only thing I would say about Loom is that I wish it was a little bit better on the mobile phone. It's awesome on your laptop but maybe it could be quicker and easier there. Review Source Herman D. Network Vice President of Texas Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Video over Text" January 23, 2020 5.0 There is a saying that a picture says a thousand words. In today's world, communication is essential. I've had many instances where I've seen the context of that communication being misinterpreted. This is why I love Loom. Loom gives an easy way for people to communicate via video. These short video messages can separate you from other people and they are effective. I've use loom in both personal and business instances. It is easy to shoot and send a quick video than to write a long email. I've even inserted commentary videos under social media post to clarify my stance on issues. I've used it for customer onboarding and partner training. There are so many creative ways you can share Loom videos to effectively get your point across. Pros Easy to use interface Fast video processing Videos can be viewed on any device Cons Mobile experience is iOS beta only Unable to stop and switch recording sources (ie switching from recording a tab to your desktop) Review Source SS Shanky S. software developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Loom Recorded Best software " October 18, 2023 5.0 Pros Screen recording DownloadShare linksave videos Email id video Cut and shortsharely privatelyimages captures audio recordingmaximum length recorded viedo time Cons limit editing options and recordingbefore video recording decide the screen recording the browser different tabs Review Source VR Verified Reviewer iOS developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best out there if you have the means to pay for it" August 12, 2022 5.0 Pros Honnestly, I was a huge Loom fan. I used it for all videos that required screen sharing or sreen recording, from onboarding videos to just saying hi to my colleagues. It was so easy to use, to share, to work on. Cons We used Loom as a company for such a long time. It had been such a pain when you had to upgrade if you wanted to do videos that lasted more than 5 minutes.
