About Loom
What is Loom?
Loom is a free screen and video recording tool for Mac, PC, iOS, and Android. It lets you capture your screen, your face, or both, and instantly share a link — no file uploads or complicated editing needed. Millions of people across 400,000 companies use Loom to replace long emails, meetings, and support tickets with quick, personal videos.
Who is it for?
Loom is built for distributed teams, sales reps, customer success managers, marketers, educators, and any professional who wants to communicate faster without scheduling yet another call. It’s especially powerful for async collaboration across time zones, but it’s not a live conferencing tool — you record and share on your own time.
Key use cases
Common uses include: onboarding new hires, walking through product demos, providing customer support, giving async feedback, and recording bug reports. With features like transcriptions in 50+ languages, closed captions, and viewer insights, Loom turns a quick recording into a fully searchable, trackable communication asset.
Key features
- Screen & camera recording — capture your screen, webcam, or both in crisp quality up to 4K (Business plan).
- Instant sharing and embedding — share a link right after recording; embed videos in Notion, FigJam, Intercom, and more.
- Transcriptions & closed captions — automatic captions in 50+ languages make videos accessible and searchable.
- Trim and stitch video clips — basic editing tools let you cut out mistakes or combine clips without extra software.
- Video privacy controls — set passwords, default privacy settings, and viewer permissions per workspace.
- Viewer insights and engagement analytics — see who watched, for how long, and whether they rewatched key moments.
- Loom AI (Business+ plan) — automatic video enhancement, video-to-text automation, and auto-generated meeting recaps and notes.
