I enjoy using loom for making quick presentations for work. I recommend Loom to anyone who might want to use it for content creation or just to make quick videos.
Pros
loom is very easy to use, a plug-and-play kind of situation and I can get my presentations done without much hustle.
Cons
Loom primarily operated as an online tool. This means that users need an internet connection to record and access their videos.

Loom is a must have tool for a remote first scale up

Loom was easily adopted across the organisation with people enjoying the UX/UI and ease to generate high quality content. Loom is riding the way of video content crucial for internal and external alignment as you scale.
Pros
Loom is such an incredibly easy tool to use across the company. We've used a few solutions in the past including slack recordings and clickup but truthfully, Loom has far more powerful capabilities via their rich feature set. Instant embed is a huge feature for us enabling you to simply copy and paste a link. The ability to measure insights and analytics on videos is important given we use Loom for external business development. In addition, the ability to tag others in a video, comment and engage supercharges your ability to work seamlessly across timezones. We have employees all over the world so it's crucial.
Cons
The biggest challenge was whether we actually choose a dedicated video platform (additional charges + additional learning internally and yet another tool). ClickUp is getting far more sophisticated with recordings and of course, you want to consolidate as much as you possibly can. In saying that, in the end, Loom is too good and we decided to use alongside other tools.

Horrible experience with Loom - warning everyone

I used Loom for 2 months, and experienced several instances of video recording randomly stopping. There was no pattern to it and no explanation. Randomly, it would just stop recording mid video.However, the infuriating part is that THERE IS NO INDICATION THE RECORDING HAS STOPPED. I'd just keep making video, hit save, and find out my 5 minute video was actually a 37 second video, and I'd just wasted a bunch of time.This has been an issue that has plagued me since day one, and I have attempted to reach out to support only to learn THERE IS NO SUPPORT. It's just a feature request system - it's a joke.This is a terrible tool, it has wasted hours of productivity, and I would strongly caution anyone from using it. It is unreliable and there is no support.
Pros
At first glance, Loom seemed like a great screen recording tool that saved time.
Cons
Screen recording feature randomly fails - you'll be making a video to explain something to someone, and recording will stop. However, you won't *know* recording has stopped, so you'll waste minutes talking away, hit save, and find out your video didn't fully record. Infuriating.

Overall, my experience using Loom was great. It really allowed me to record and edit the training content we needed for the team. I used to have to re-record content several times to get a good take, but Loom makes it so much easier to edit and get what you need out of a recording.
Pros
I loved that Loom provided a lot of versatility in how you wanted to record content. You could choose which tab or screen, audio or just video, or even add a video of you talking through the presentation at the bottom corner.
Cons
There was definitely a bit of a learning curve trying to learn to use this tool and maximize it's features. For example, I didn't know I could cut snippets of the video out until much later and even then it took some time to figure out, but that's also one of my favorite features once I did figure it out.

Helped me a lot of times to create quick tutorials for my team members.
Pros
I like that you can use it for free (with certain limits) to be able to make an informed decision before buying. It's also a very convenient tool thanks to the practical sharing options.
Cons
The browser extension, while seemingly practical, didn't work well for me at all. Most of the time I had to use the main app instead.

Highly recommended. You can record your videos anytime. Get notified when your videos are watched and commented. Some other employer requires this loom video for your introduction when you applying. You can upload it or copy the link and send it. You can login using your personal acct like Gmail or Yahoo mail. I'm using it for about 6 months.
Pros
What I like the most is very useful and user-friendly. You can use your personal account to record your video.
Cons
The feature of preview cannot play the whole recording of your video.

Positive under all aspects
I am very looking forward to attend the next webinar so I can have a better training on how to use its features for our new website launch!
Pros
I started using this app with the free trial. I use it on daily basis since I work a lot with customer service and it is much easier a very short video explaining any process. Everything is automated! The system will just cut pauses and provide title and description of the video with AI features. You receive notification real time from who watched the video. Among colleagues is also useful. Instead of creating manuals and long books explaining all process/rules in place you can just use Loom to show a new trainee how's the job and what he/she should be doing. As remote worker for an international company this has been a game changer. Even when I am off/away my colleague can go to the library of training and see how it is done. Absolutely brilliant app! I am happy to have now the subscription so I can extend the use of AI features.
Cons
There is nothing really I did not like about loom so far. I am happy with it, and will attend also webinars

Pros
During online teaching, Loom made my work in class much easier. I conveyed correctly, clearly what I wanted to present if I had held the class physically. I easily recorded the lessons for my students.
Cons
I can't fault anything either in terms of my work, teaching online, or as a trainer for the courses held. helped me create useful materials for both teachers and students

Perfect for instructional videos or just personalised presentations
Reviewed on 9/1/2024
Pros
I was extremely happy with the way I could create either product demos or instructional videos with a personal feel. The bubble showing my webcam feed really personalised the experience for my customers.
Cons
I would sometimes have audio issues from my microphone. Audio would cut out or be choppy, this only occurred with Loom, other video capture software did not have this issue.

Decent screen recorder. Worth checking out.
Decent screen recorder. Worth checking out.
Pros
Loom helped make popular the concept of sending screen recordings via a link. After you record a screen-share its quickly uploaded and a link to the video created. It does this much faster than Google drive does.
Cons
Sometimes with software like Loom they start with a great concept eg easily make screen recordings that can be quickly shared via a link but then in an effort to improve it they add lots of options that you dont need so the UI is a bit cluttered.

Overall a wonderful platform to be used by teams sitting cross locations and mentoring the members for small-2 queries by recording it and sharing with teams . it's very convenient and efficient for teams.
Pros
The best part is every individual can record the session and make it available for any small demo to share across team members which can be accessible anytime anywhere. Consume less space and easily found. Platform is user friendly as well
Cons
I think integration should be available with various products. Though i haven't experienced much issues which i can list as least liked about loom . all good so far.

I loved using Loom, the video quality was really great and I could share my videos easily with employers who preferred this method.
Pros
As a freelancer I believe the video recording and screen recording tool is very important, also the collaboration feature. It's very easy to use.
Cons
The phone app is very slow when it comes to videos uploading, it sometimes takes hours for the video to be uploaded, they need to fix this.
