Data Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Great Video Messaging tool. " January 31, 2023 5.0 Pros I love using Loom because of its user-friendly interface and the wide range of features it offers. It is a great tool for creating and sharing video content quickly and easily. With Loom, I can easily record my screen, add annotations, and even add a voiceover. It also allows me to easily share my videos with others, making it a great tool for collaboration. Additionally, the ability to save my videos in the cloud makes it easy to access them from anywhere. Cons I like many aspects of Loom, but the one thing I don't like is that it is not as user-friendly as some other video recording programs. It can be difficult to navigate and there are a lot of features that may be confusing for those who are not familiar with the program. Also, the video quality can be inconsistent, and the audio can be distorted at times.

" July 23, 2021 5.0 I have a very positive experience with Loom, after using it for years. The tool keeps improving, is very stable and easy to use. That's how I like it. Loom saves me a lot of time and only takes a few clicks to be up and running. That's refreshing in the software world. Pros I've been a fan since day 1 and have been using Loom a lot on my desktop. What I love the most is how fast and easy it is to quickly make a recording of your screen or a combination of screen and camera. Audio and video quality is good and it's hosted for you pretty much instantly. It's a handy tool that I've shared within my business and with friends and family. Cons I don't have any complaints. Loom offers a great set of features for being a free product. There's an upgraded plan as well but I didn't need that yet. I'll definitely consider it, as the Loom team is awesome and provides excellent support. Review Source LMS Llana Melissa S. Online Instructor E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "More Ways to Connect" January 12, 2023 5.0 I am very satisfied with my experience with Loom that I always use this when I need to share my screen and tutor my students with a specific project or lessons they need more demonstration with. Because videos can easily be shared through the link, I don't have to spend so much time just to make these videos accessible to my students. Pros What I like most about this software is it's easy to use and I have the option to show my face in the screen while recording. Most of my students are used to tutorials with just voice overs but this time with me using Loom, I can share my camera in a way that is not distracting anyone from what is happening in my screen. Cons I hope for the free plan there are ways to extend the recording length without upgrading to business. Maybe incorporate some ads that would provide additional 2 minutes just for a single video for free. Review Source Rony Peterson O. Student Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A very simple and easy tool for screen recording" July 25, 2022 5.0 Loom is a good tool to make screen records and videos and upload automatically the videos without any command from the maker. For that, it is very handful to manage many videos. The price is very cheap and accomplishes the most basic needs for screen recording. Pros It is incredibly easy to make screen recordings and videos with this software. Also, there is no problem with worrying about uploading the videos because Loom does this without any action. Cons For its simplicity, some features are not so relevant for the users because they are on the desktop without the need for any software.

EL Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Loom - The Application that Helped Me Pivot During the Pandemic as a EL Teacher" March 13, 2022 5.0 Overall, when I started being a virtual teacher for the first time during the pandemic, my students needed my voice and support as much as possible, and I needed a way to have good video that myself speaking and the information in class. I love Loom for how easy it was for me to record and share those recordings for students so that their language learning would and did continue. My students were better because of this application. Pros I love how easy it is to download the application, use it for screen recording and audio capture, export it to different types of audio and video files, and more. Cons I wish that Loom worked with more school districts. My school computer does not allow me to download Loom to school computers for some reason Review Source PE Precious E. Community Manager/Builder Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Premium video and screen recording program" February 19, 2023 5.0 Loom has helped me to work better, is really time efficient, and doesn't require previous knowledge. Pros I love that I don't need to jump on a video to explain short things to people, all I need to do is to make a short recording and share the link with them, and they can view it. Also, the quality of the audio and video is very nice, and I also love the caption option. Cons Loom is amazing, but I will suggest that the team improve the time of recording for the non-premium version to about 8-10 minutes. Review Source Paul O. Technical Director E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Loom is the original and still the best by leaps and bounds." June 30, 2022 5.0 From using the free version when they first released their product, to now paying for the professional version, I am constantly impressed. It is a vital part of how we provide support to our clients. Pros After trying every other option out there, from Bonjoro, Vimeo Record, and Dropbox Capture, desktop software like Snagit and Camtasia, and other similar pieces of software, Loom stands head and shoulders above all of them. It is simple to record, the video is uploaded quickly, the processing is ridiculously fast, the editing is faster than I have seen and it does what it says on the box. Cons Sometimes the webcam and the sound is a little out of sync. Switched from [Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/)[Bonjoro](https://www.capterra.com/p/209377/Bonjoro/)[Snagit](https://www.capterra.com/p/209649/Snagit/) I wanted something simple and effective that didn't slow down responses and that the recipient didn't really have to think. Review Source EB Elsa B. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Key to remote working" September 10, 2022 5.0 Great, with the Chrome extension it makes it even faster to start recording! Pros This might be my favourite platform that you don't "need" until you start using it and realise how key it is to optimising your day-to-day. You can use it to avoid the typical "quick meeting to show you something", use it for repetitive tasks that your team always asks how to do (record and keep it on your documentation/onboarding), use it for learning & development and teaching your team about something, showing a bug to your tech team... so many ways. I also really like being able to see how many people have watched it, and it allows you to interact with the video on key parts that you want to highlight. Cons I love it, no cons in Loom! It's quick and makes team training much easier. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Support Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Loom for Screen Recording" December 9, 2023 5.0 Pros If you are looking for a tool to either record your screen to help users, communicate with your screen, or make a tutorial, Loom is a perfect option. I love that they recently added frames for your photo/small self-video, screens for explanations and that you can control which screen you share. The free version is 5 minutes or less, so if you need more time than time you will need to pay, but it is worth it. Cons It might, in some cases, make my laptop (Mac) slower if I have it opened for too long. It gets fixed by closing and reopening it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer MRA Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "MRA review" June 7, 2021 5.0 Overall very nice and very beneficial for the work I do. Most of my colleagues are using it because it is easy to record and easy to share with the rest. Always works amazingly and it is very reliable. It is the first software I tried to record videos for and I haven't switched to the other ever since. Pros It is easy to use, very user-friendly, and simple yet very efficient. Makes my work easier when I have to record material for new colleagues who are just onboarding which is part of my role in the company. In just a few minutes you can make a video of the material you need for your work. Personally, the timer makes the difference for me because I have those few seconds to prepare and start. Also, you can easily always start over or edit, amazing. I like the feature where I can check how many people viewed my video and that way can check how many people have viewed it and had it been a success. Cons So far, I like everything. I haven't had any issues with the software. Review Source Favour N. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An easy to use and understand video/screen recording software" January 14, 2023 4.0 I haven't really used this software for long but for the little time I've used it, I don't really like it the phone version, it's too plain and you can't really do the necessary things you need to do when recording or editing a video.One thing I actually like about this software is the user friendly, easy to use and understand interface. Pros I like the fact that I could record my screen while doing a face cam, I like that there is an option to choose between recording just my screen, just my camera or both my screen and my camera.I also like the fact that I could reduce and get rid of unwanted noise, the noise reduction and removal features is very good and smooth.Another thing I like about this software is the fact that I could get rid of filler words in both text and audio and you get the choice to choose if filler words should be removed in just text, audio or both text and audio. Cons One thing I don't like about this software is that the recording tools are visible when recording.And another thing I don't like is the fact that I can't minimize on the phone version, so when I try recording both a face cam and screen recording and I try minimizing to another app on my phone, the video recording would stop and due to that I'm unable to record what I needed to record on my screen and that's quite annoying.The last thing I don't like about this software is the fact that some features that are available in the laptop version isn't available in the phone version, for example you can edit a video in the laptop version but you can't edit a video on the phone version. Review Source KS Kit S. Resulter Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Making Recorded Communications More Personal" November 1, 2022 5.0 Loom is the best! It helps me give my students a more personal way to teach them though we are countries apart. Pros What I like most about this software which my students like too is when I send them a project tutorial or demonstration using my Excel shared through this app, I can keep my face seen and it's not distracting in any way. I can choose to minimize my camera so that the focus is the screen. But my students say they feel it's a more personal way to teach them online classes. Cons I hope the screen and camera feature becomes available to my iPad too. I'm using the 8th Gen and it's probably the reason why it's restricted. Review Source Pablo G. Dir SIED Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "a very complete complement" April 6, 2022 4.0 Loom has helped record teaching classes, while the teacher opens a slideshow application. It was also very useful for recording tutorials and sharing the content on youtube. Pros I have recommended Loom for a long time. It's fast, can be installed as a Chrome plugin in seconds, is feature-rich, and captures almost any screen content in real time. Cons It is a light and easy to use software, it does not have many cons, only the advertising banners and updates are somewhat annoying, I have also experienced some problems with sound capture but in the latest versions they have already solved it Review Source JMZ Jeheen Mahmood Z. Founder Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best screen recorder for 99% people" August 10, 2020 5.0 I only used the free plan, but I never felt I needed a paid version, the free plan was that good. It covered everything a regular screen recorder might want from an easy to setup solution. Loom doesnt offer advanced video editing options. But that is actually a plus for me as I know nothing of video editing and many other apps scared me off with their sliders and buttons and frames. I am a simple maker who knows his strengths and Loom helped me in playing those strengths. I frequently used Loom for a quick screen grab for my employees and clients showing what I need and do. I later loaded the videos in my Youtube for marketing and easier distribution where network is poorer. Pros This is an app that you cant break. You can run it on a barely running PC, low on ram, processing power, poor or NO internet and it will still run, without any error. If it was a superhero, it would be Superman! This is the easiest app that I have used for screen recording - I make instructional videos for my remote employees and content marketing. It runs on and off browsers and can save offline recording. Has very easy to use controls. Loom gives you 1 hour of recording on free plan which is simply generous, while many others give you 5-10 minutes. They have basic analytics for free plan and it is enough for many people. Cons There is simply nothing I did not like about Loom. For advanced users and video editors, Loom would feel too vanilla as there is little editing options. But Loom is not for advanced editing, it is for swift screen recording and does that superbly. Alternatives considered [Filmora](https://www.capterra.com/p/186540/Filmora/)[Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/) Reason for choosing Loom Both Filmora and Camtasia are great apps. But they are both rather pricy and have too many advanced functions for my need and skills, I was overwhelmed. Switched from [Screencastify](https://www.capterra.com/p/163770/Screencastify/) Screencastify had a limit of video duration that was too restrictive. Review Source MM Michael M. Business Development Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent for communication of values to customers" June 13, 2023 5.0 Overall, I am very satisfied with Loom as it allows me to explain concepts to both customers and colleagues in a way that immediately gets value across. Pros It is easy to create videos that are polished enough for external use. Such videos clearly demonstrate our product's value. Cons When sharing a browser tab, it is not always clear when the recording has started, which means I have to clip the start of the video on many occasions. In the worst-case scenario, this concern spoils my confidence to introduce the topic during the recording as I am unsure what is being recorded and what is not. Review Source Sebastián A. Community Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A good program to record your best projects" August 20, 2021 5.0 In general, I consider it a very good option for screen capture and recording. Especially if you don't have a program that already has it as a complement. In addition, recording and sharing is super easy and fast, for a quick project it is excellent Pros What I like the most about this program is the ease of recording according to what you need, either complete or view, screen and audio separately. Cons What I like the least is that it has flaws in the option to share direct as a google extension and you have to go to the option to start recording. On the other hand, when you change the tab, if you are showing the screen, it hides the video from your webcam, which I would like not to happen to make the video look better. Review Source KK Kiranjit K. SEO executive Market Research Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "The effective way to record our screen with Loom" May 7, 2024 5.0 Pros The most amazing thing that I would like to share is that it's easy to use, access and make recording without facing any trouble. It optimism my work time. I hardly recommend others to use loom for their professional work. Cons I feel like their is nothing an negative but it's little bit different to understand the whole technical things to work with. Review Source MF Mohamed F. Associate Payments Banking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A unique approach to remote working support that allows documented video recording and sharing" February 13, 2023 5.0 Loom enabled us to overcome many obstacles to activate the role of documented visual communication by working remotely, as it provided us with more effective communication channels, and we were able to communicate ideas and manage operations easily. The ability to receive and document comments and notes also contributed greatly to increasing our ability to cooperate to find appropriate solutions in a short time. Pros Loom's unique capabilities allow us to record videos in high quality and share them quickly and easily with co-workers or clients, which makes it a great tool for communicating ideas and guidance and clarifying some outstanding issues from a distance. It is also great that there are a lot of customization options in Loom that increase our capabilities. We can easily adjust the recording area and add annotations, which increases our ability to accurately communicate specific information and ideas. Also great about Loom is that we can receive feedback and comments easily, which gives us additional capabilities to coordinate tasks and solve problems remotely smoothly. Loom provides a Chrome extension, which contributes to expanding the scope of sharing through links with a larger number of colleagues and customers, where they can watch and comment without the need to install the program. Cons Loom is a great and easy-to-use tool, but some improvements need to be made to be able to edit videos better, and videos should be allowed to be recorded offline, as sometimes we are in out-of-cover areas and need to take notes.

Systems Analysis, AR, Documentation Filing Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool, fun to use, easy, I had so much fun and it helped our employee training so easy!!" August 5, 2023 5.0 It was a very positive one and I was really impressed with the ease os use and it's abilities. Pros You take it anywhere to use. Online!! Easy to transfer and convert!! Easy to record, edit, visual tools. Just a great product. Cons I hate being recorded or on cameras!! It's the same for most products the retakes and editing. But everyone has to do it. Theirs was Easy! Reason for choosing Loom Simple, Easy, It did a great job! Review Source Miguel D. Desarrollo de nuevos negocios Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Use Loom to collaborate with your team like never before" November 1, 2022 5.0 Loom was the first screen recording tool I used and it honestly made my life easier since I could communicate with my team and clients in such a clear way even for complex things. Pros \-Ease of creating videos and sharing them with a click-Use of tags and mentions-Screenshot management-Free version available-Affordable Cons \-The platform has been buggy a few times and just close it but this may be related to my computer-The interface could be confusing for new users Review Source YT Yoselin T. Customer Support Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Don't look any further for any other screen/video recording" July 22, 2021 5.0 Even though Loom doesn't have just an audio recording feature, it works perfectly for my personal projects. I would recommend this tool to anyone who is looking for an amazing tool to record video and screen recordings. It is very easy to use so even non-tech-savvy people can easily use it without a problem. Pros It's easy to use. It's user-friendly, it has a clean interface, easy to download and I managed to use the features without the need of going to the Help Center to find answers or help! I love how that you have different options of recordings such as recording a specific browser tab, an entire browser screen, or even add your own video. Loom is perfect to record courses as it is very interactive. Cons Maybe I haven't used it for too long and I have somehow missed this feature but I wish Loom had the option to record just the audio, no video, no tab/browser, just audio. Hopefully, this can be added in the near future. Review Source Thomas B. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Face to face human interactions in a time of remote work and hybrid work" June 15, 2023 5.0 Great experience, it allows me and my team to quickly share knowledge "face-to-face" anytime anyplace. We love the human, seeing someone's face, aspect. Pros The chrome plugin is awesome as it provides easy access to Loom to make on the fly recordings, videos and step by step walk throughs to share with my team or clients. Cons Even though the Plugin is great, it can freeze my browser for up to 10 seconds to load and then another few seconds to start recording. After creating a video, a personal dislike for myself, is managing permissions is not intuitive and a little confusing when I want to share certain videos and permissions with different stakeholders inside and outside my organisation. Alternatives considered [ScreenRec](https://www.capterra.com/p/234229/ScreenRec/) Reason for choosing Loom Recommendation from a friend Review Source Marco C. Managing Director Translation and Localization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good product, but it currently lack 2 important features" October 15, 2022 4.0 Happy, but I was expecting much more. Pros It's very, very easy to create a video, even from your browser, once you install the extension. Just a few clicks. Cons At the time I'm writing (October 22) the search feature is case sensitive and doesn't search for substring. I.e. if you search for "cap" it doesn't find "Capterra". The other critical missing feature is sorting video. You can't sort videos in your dashboard, not even alphabetically. You have to resort to folders to organize your videos somehow. Another critical point is that sometimes it takes a long time to load a video. And occasionally, the GIF previews is not generated correctly and you get a broken link instead. I know (from support) they're working on this, so I expect at least this last glitch to be fixed very soon. Switched from [ScreenPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/203114/ScreenPal/) I needed a quick way to preview videos in the email and, as far as I know, Loom is the only tool on the market that automatically creates a GIF preview of your videos and makes inserting this preview into an email a piece of cake.

I think it makes us so much more efficient. Pros This software allows you to do video tutorials or presentations in a matter of minutes! It is so easy to use and to edit, I definitely recommend this tool because it saves time and prevents any misunderstandings or unwanted meetings. Cons I think the thing I liked the least about Loom is that the free version only allows 5 minute videos, but that actually helps keep the information condensed! Review Source DW Donita W. Adjunct Professor, University Supervisor E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Communication Tool" August 5, 2022 5.0 Loom is my go to recording software both in my coursework and with family and friends. Pros Loom has afforded my students a means of recording themselves and sending the recording link. It is easy to navigate and a valuable tool to collaborate and keep in touch. Cons I do not have cons to Loom. It is so simple to use, and has always provided quality recordings. I am pleased with it. Review Source Similar Products Featured
