About Loom
Overview
Loom is a screen and camera recording tool that lets users create AI-powered video messages for teammates and customers. It replaces long emails, meetings, and written documentation with short async videos that communicate faster and more clearly.
Over 25 million people across 400,000 companies use Loom to record, edit, and share videos. Unlike traditional video tools or synchronous meeting software, Loom focuses on quick async communication with built-in AI editing, transcription, and sharing integrations.
Key Benefits
- Record your screen and camera in a few clicks using the Chrome extension, desktop app, or mobile app.
- Edit videos with trim, stitch, text overlays, arrows, box overlays, and custom backgrounds.
- Share or embed videos across hundreds of tools including Google Workspace and Slack.
- Add emojis, comments, tasks, and CTAs to video messages for async collaboration.
- Transcriptions and closed captions available in 50+ languages.
- Enterprise-grade security with SSO, SCIM, custom data retention policies, and privacy settings.
How It Works
You open Loom via the Chrome extension, desktop app, or mobile app and click record to capture your screen, camera, or both. After recording, you use the editor to trim clips, stitch segments, add text overlays, arrows, or box highlights, and apply AI enhancements. You then share the video link anywhere — email, Slack, Google Workspace, or embed it — and recipients can react with emojis, leave comments, or add tasks without leaving the player.

- Customer support teams troubleshoot issues over video to reach resolutions faster.
