### "Loom Review"

June 30, 2022

5.0

Comfortable to use and I don't have any plans to use other products than Loom.

Pros

Easy to record and not much efforts required. I am using the free version of the Loom that meet my needs at the moment. Overall, Ease of use and feel of quality at professional level.

Cons

To be honest, I didn't find much to say about least at the moment, may be I can update in the future.

Reason for choosing Loom

I am using the free version of the Loom that meet my needs at the moment. This was suggested to me by my former mentor while I was enrolled in a Digital Marketing school. I immediately planned to utilise it, and I'm fine with using it in the future as well.

### "Must-have tool for asynchronous communication"

August 24, 2022

4.0

Loom is an indispensable part of my workday. I've not found any tool that replicates the ease-of-use for sharing video thoughts and screen recordings with my team

Pros

I love how easy Loom is to create quick videos to share with my team. I work remotely with teammates from around the globe, so Loom is a key way that we communicate ideas back and forth. The product itself is phenomenal for this, not only with the screen recording software but also with features like timestamp comments & emojis, and audio transcription.

Cons

I've found Loom to be rather buggy, especially with the Mac app. It doesn't load fast and occasionally doesn't load at all. I often end up abandoning it to use the Chrome extension instead.

### "Great, Fast, and Simple Screen Recording Tool"

February 11, 2020

5.0

With Loom, I'm able to screen record things that are difficult to explain with words. This is essential given my team works in offices across the country. It allows my teammates to explain complicated software bugs to me so that I can easily reproduce and verify them. I use Loom more than any other Chrome extension.

Pros

Loom is really useful for recording issues that I run into as a software tester. Having the power to start recording my screen in just a couple clicks saves so much time for me so that I don't have to verbally communicate or write out how to reproduce a bug. It's built right into Chrome, but you can record anything else on your screen with it as well. You can opt for it to record your face while you're doing the screen recording too. It's really intuitive and quick to start recording, and sharing a recording is as easy as sending someone a URL.

Cons

There's not much to dislike with Loom. If I had one con, it'd be that it doesn't remember my preferred settings each time I record. It will default to recording my face and my audio, which I usually turn off each time.

### "I love it it makes my life easier"

April 29, 2023

5.0

I love it, since I discovered I am using it to create training for employees, some quick tutorials or induction training or just to share something new with my team :)

Pros

Easiness of use, very intuitive and simple programme it saves me a lots of time when I create tutorials for employees to show them how to do something on the system and where to look

Cons

time limit but it is because I have free version and sometimes even if I switch off camera and audio it switches it on again but before I click record so I can still switch it back before

Reason for choosing Loom

It is free and offers 50 recordings for nob charge and for my use 5 min videos are often enough

### "Share info with Loom "

June 15, 2023

5.0

I was introduced to Loom by another company that was sending up training videos. When I needed to work with someone to set up a program I began making my own Loom videos.

Pros

Loom is pretty easy to figure out how to use.

Cons

I struggles with Loom recognizing some of my audio and video equipment that works on other programs.

### "Awesome tool to share video messaging in less time"

July 11, 2022

5.0

Help to share video recording with camera, voice and desktop screen simultaneously with god quality. Get instant URL to share across on emails, or any other medium which saves a lot of time.

Pros

Able to express the complex task in less time by creating video in steps and share your thoughts or feedback on the old work/designs. Quick to install app, use and free as well. Have an option to comment and respond on the video

Cons

Limitation to record a video time duration even can record number of videos on specific time period

### "Virtual Schooling Tool!"

January 23, 2020

5.0

My overall experience has been awesome. I have never had a bad experience. The videos always work. I have used them for all kinds of things, from working with students to showing parents where to find important forms to fill out to training, etc. I cannot imagine going back to my job without Loom! Any chance I get, I spread the word as well!

Pros

I love that I can show a student, teacher, or state department liaison what I am working on and exactly what my question is. This saves an insane amount of time during my work week. I love that it is so easy to grab my recording with a link. I am not sure if all, but most of the teachers at my school are using this tool now, after I did a demonstration at our back to school meeting in August. We are a virtual school and this is such a valuable tool for all subject areas.

Cons

I wish we had more than 100 free videos, but I understand the reasoning behind this. I wish there was a special package for educators. This is such a great tool to help us teach students and teachers get so little discounts as it is.

### "Best SCREEN RECORDING tool"

June 12, 2022

5.0

It helped my development business get feedback from my clients. Loom is a great tool of you are looking for screen recording and for video recording too. The new tools added by the loom team are also great which help us improve the overall productivity.

Pros

Screen recording capabilities are awesome. I loved the integrations with 3rd party apps. User Interface is also very easy to use. We can record and get feedback from our clients very easily and quickly. It makes me more productive.

Cons

The screen recording limit is what bothers me a lot when I was on a free plan. Although 5 Minutes are enough for most of the users but it wasn't for me.

### "Excellent for Startups"

September 13, 2021

5.0

Loom minimises the back n forth between team members. Sometimes its an excellent alternative to the meeting. Clients enjoy the demo I give them because they can keep going back to it. I can re-record a video if the first take wasn't good enough. Taking on new employees and welcoming them to the new system during Covid times is great and very easy. I enjoy the solution a lot and really appreciated their efforts for keeping it free during 2020

Pros

Somehow this was the first screen recording software I found and I fell in love with how easy it, the click animation display and the self video in corner to give it a personal touch

Cons

I enjoyed the software a lot when it was free :) and while the pro version was very good, we came back to free because there were fewer instances where we needed to go beyond the free time limit

### "Easy to use"

June 21, 2023

5.0

Pros

This app just works well! One click to start-stop recording - which is enough for all kind of purposes.

Cons

5 mins video limit :) It would be better if Loom can do this 10 mins or more :)

### "Excellent collaboration and screen capture program"

September 4, 2021

4.0

Loom is a great way to give feedback to colleagues, instead of writing an email or having to schedule a meeting. It is also super easy to create how-to videos for customers.

Pros

We use Loom for two reasons: to give comments to colleagues instead of scheduling meetings. And second, to record videos that we then process using other tools and publish online. Loom is super easy to use and perfect for these two use cases. Easy for anyone to make a quick video about feedback or to show a problem they are having.

Cons

The post-production capabilities are more limited. Would be great to have transcription in German available, as well as the possibility to create different types of headers and subtitles. That exists in basic functionality, but not for more advanced edits.

### "Engaging video tools for remote workers "

October 20, 2022

5.0

My experience with Loom is excellent, for the purpose of document review and online collaboration it is far superior to Zoom which works best for conversational meetings and discussions.

Pros

A simple yet effective tool, I use Loom frequently as a way to provide educational videos to my colleagues in a way which is engaging and semi-interactive by being able to annotate and highlight documents in real time whilst they watch.

Cons

It would be better if it had a scheduling function for online meetings where participants could be invite to join via an invitation. However I am still relatively new to this tool so it might have this feature and I have just not found it yet.

Reason for choosing Loom

I feel that Loom is better suited for updating documents and collaborating in real time, help with problem solving and explaining problems to remote colleagues with its superior screen sharing and editing features.

Switched from

[Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/)

Loom is more interactive and suited to my video styles which focus more on document review and education than direct conversational meetings. Also with the NPO discount Loom is cheaper than Zoom.

### "Stunningly easy to use screen /video recording tool"

May 30, 2022

4.0

We used to create onboarding documents through Loom. We even recorded each meeting at some point. The last time-limit implemented made us think that it might not be the most relevant software for our company in the light of how we use it, we moved on without harsh feeling. It is, indeed, a very well designed software and the team deserves kudos.

Pros

Loom is so simple to use that you could handle the use of it in 1 mn ! Organizing videos in files is very easy too.

Cons

I found it not very intuitive to collaborate on a Loom video : you can comment, but not show where in the screen you refer to. The time-limit shrank to 10 mn, and it was not adapted to how we use it.

### "Solid screen recording software with rapid uploads"

January 25, 2022

4.0

I moved from CloudApp to Loom. The advantage of the former is the inclusion of screenshots in the same app, something I miss in Loom. However, Loom does very well for screen recording.

Pros

Loom is perhaps the best-known software in this space, and they have used their position to innovate. I love how straightforward it is to set up a screen recording and how quickly the recording is ready after recording.

Cons

The Windows app still isn't quite set up correctly for two monitor--or at least not on my setup. I wish I could push the recording controls out of the video space entirely and onto the second monitor, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

### "Waste of time"

July 19, 2022

1.0

Very poor buggy.

Pros

It used to be good, but increasingly rubbish. Lots of bugs, doesn't upload. Fails mid-way. Lots of issues. I use a fast PC, and each time you ask them, they ask for logs and details and all sorts. Its a standard PC, windows 11 pro - fast connections. Their product is getting worse and worse and wasting a lot of time for me re-recording. Now just given up and switched.

Cons

It doesnt work 50% of the time, after you've wasted 8 minutes recording a video.

### "Loom is the best asynchronous video messaging site"

August 7, 2023

Pros

Being able to include my face in the presentation! It makes everything more fun and engaging!

Cons

It sucks that I can't use a background if I am trying to record using the camera only.

### "Great product and easy to use"

December 18, 2019

5.0

Pros

Accessibility, Usability, Interaction, Notifications. This tool is easy to open and it gives you easy access to your recorded videos. I have really enjoyed being notified when someone views it because I use this tool as feedback for my online class and it helps to see how often and whom is viewing each of my recordings. I even have back and forth discussions just below the video page.

Cons

I had a few instances when a video failed to upload because it was taking forever. I couldn't be certain if this was due to the internet in our location or Loom, but it happened more than once but no more than 4 times in the last two years I have used it. There were also a couple of times when my microphone didn't connect for whatever reason and I recorded an entire video without sound. Each time I now doublecheck my audio to make sure it works before recording. Never had a problem with that when I check now.

### "Simple, Free Screen and Video Recording for Educators"

May 23, 2020

5.0

Loom has been an amazing resource for our teachers during COVID-19 to provide instructional videos to students. Loom also recently announced that their service will be free for educators moving forward with his great!

Pros

Loom is simple and easy to use for your screen and video recording needs. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, is easy to save, has great features, and is intuitive. There's no need to be a "techy" in order to create high-quality videos and lesson recordings as a teacher in a flipped classroom.

Cons

I wish there were a few more editing options within the user console and an easier way to set up local storage the videos (as opposed to downloading them and backing them up).

A valuable addition to our CS tech stack

Pros

Required me to rethink how to collaborate, but once the penny dropped this has been a huge time saver. Quick and easy to record videos to the team and tutorials for clients. All the edit functionality is really powerful and so can crop and triple my video without having to start again

Cons

Would love the ability to annotate on top of the video

### "Excellent for training videos and passing along detailed information"

December 28, 2022

5.0

Very positive experience, it will make training the next member of our team much easier, and we're happy to have Loom as a building block to help us expand our business.

Pros

Loom is really useful for making training videos for various tasks, it's helpful to have the audio and screen recording to walk colleagues through how to do certain things. It's also helpful to pass along large amounts of detailed information quickly, like a meeting that not everyone needs to be at, and you can rewatch as needed.

Cons

Not all coworkers find it to be the easiest way for them to absorb information, preferring in person chats, but it is definitely a close second and very helpful when in-person or live meetings are not an option.
