Loom
Async video messaging platform for recording and sharing screen recordings with your team.
Overview
Loom lets you record your screen, camera, or both and instantly share the video via a link. It is designed for async communication — product walkthroughs, bug reports, standups, and code reviews that would otherwise require a meeting.
The free Starter plan allows up to 25 videos of 5 minutes each. The Business plan at $12.50/user/month removes limits and adds transcripts, engagement analytics, custom branding, and drawing tools.
