Loom
Overview
Loom is a video messaging tool that helps users communicate more effectively through instantly shareable videos. It allows individuals and teams to record their screen, webcam, or both simultaneously, providing a more personal and clear way to convey information than text or audio alone. Loom is widely used for explaining complex topics, providing feedback, tutorials, updates, and asynchronous communication in remote or hybrid work environments.
The platform offers easy recording, simple editing features, and quick sharing capabilities via a link. Recent additions include AI features designed to enhance productivity, such as generating titles, summaries, chapters, and transcripts automatically from recorded videos. These AI functionalities aim to make video content more searchable, digestible, and actionable, transforming video messages into a powerful tool for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
