Why use Loom?
Loom is designed to streamline professional communication in a world where everything cannot (and should) not everything go through videos or emails. It allows you to send simple videos, shot in a few minutes, to share an idea, explain a specific point, or unblock a situation.
This asynchronous format is ideal for distributed businesses, tech, product, or marketing teams. In one click, you record your screen, webcam and microphone. The video is immediately available via a secure link, which can be integrated into a message, ticket, or documentation.
It is a tool that Saves time, reduces cognitive load, and allows everyone to process information at their own pace. Loom integrates easily into existing workflows, especially for teams using tools like Webflow, Notion or Figma.
How does Loom work?
Loom offers a desktop application, a Chrome extension, and a mobile app. When a user starts recording, they can choose to film his screen, his webcam, or both, and then to capture her voice. Once complete, the video is automatically hosted on Loom, and a sharing link is generated.
The user can add a description, cut part of the video, add interactive CTAs, or chapters. People who receive the video can comment directly on it, or respond via emojis. Loom also provides viewing statistics (average time, reading rate, etc.).
The interface is simple, fast, and designed to minimize friction : you can create and send a video in less than 3 minutes.
