Loom
Quick screen and camera recording for async video messages at work
The verdict
Loom records your screen and camera in a few clicks and shares an instant link, with AI that titles, summarizes and removes filler. Built for async communication inside teams.
What it is
Loom turns a screen recording into a shareable message almost instantly: hit record, talk through something, and a link is ready with no rendering wait. Its AI layer adds auto-titles, summaries, chapters and filler-word removal, and it can turn a recording into a written doc. It lives inside work tools through integrations with Slack, Atlassian and others. The limits are deliberate: it is for short, informal explainer videos, not polished production or marketing hosting, and its editing is light, so anything beyond trimming and AI cleanup needs a real editor.
Strengths
- Recording to a shareable link is near-instant with no render wait, which makes async explainers genuinely faster than writing them out
- AI auto-titles, summaries and chapters make recordings skimmable, and filler-word removal tidies speech without manual editing
- Tight integrations place recorded video directly inside Slack, Jira and similar tools where teams already work
Trade-offs
- Editing is intentionally light, so anything beyond trimming and AI cleanup requires exporting to a real editor
- It is built for informal internal video, so it lacks the branded player and marketing analytics of a hosting platform
- The most useful AI features sit on higher tiers, so heavy AI users move past the free plan quickly
Best for
Recording fast async screen-share explainers and sharing them instantly inside a team's tools

What people build with it
Frequently asked
- What is Loom mainly used for?
- Recording quick screen-and-camera explainers and sharing them as an instant link, often to replace a meeting or a long written message.
- Does Loom summarize recordings with AI?
- Yes. On paid plans it auto-generates titles, chapters and summaries and can remove filler words, making recordings faster to make and to watch.
- Can I edit a Loom video?
- You can trim and use AI cleanup, but editing is light by design. For polished cuts most people export the file to a dedicated editor.
- Does Loom work inside Slack and Jira?
- Yes. Integrations let recordings appear directly inside tools like Slack, Atlassian and GitHub where teams already work.
- Is the free Loom plan enough?
- It is fine for occasional recording, but the unlimited recording and the useful AI features sit on the Business tier.
