Colossyan is a platform for creating, managing, and scaling video-led training, courses, and enablement content. It helps teams turn existing knowledge into structured training that’s easy to produce, update, and scale. Users can transform text, documents, presentations, and screen recordings into avatar-narrated videos and full courses. Instead of relying on multiple tools or traditional production workflows, teams can create complete training programs with videos,…
Loom is a must, I am not sure how many other tools like this one there are but Loom really becomes a key player in a team collaboration, specially if that team collaborates remotely or internationally. You can use the video links to embedded these in other places or downloadthem for editing
It's excellent at taking a script and turning it into a video, which is huge for me. The output looks professional - maybe not as polished as you'd get from a human expert but much quicker and cheaper. Supposedly it does really well at avatars/talking heads too, but I don't really need it for that. The branching and interactive videos sound really exciting, but unfortunately without making them wcag accessible, I wouldn't really be able to implement them
Loom is valuable for creating video tutorials and onboarding materials.
It allows trainers to record step-by-step instructions, share best practices, and provide visual demonstrations, facilitating the learning process for new employees or team members.
Sales teams can create personalized video pitches or product demonstrations to engage prospects effectively.
Collaborating between timezones and replacing meetings/ emails with quick videos.
The still screenshot feature should let us edit/mark up the images.
I work on 3 X monitors and the desktop version of Loom still can't seem to know that I always want to record on the screen from which I open the app. Short of that, it should ask us what screen we want to record on instead of making us catch the fact that it's set to record on some other screen. This causes me to have to stop the recording and restart because it was recording the wrong screen.
You can't yet transfer a video seamlessly between workspaces. This causes you to have to download and then re-upload to the other workspace if you happen to work for numerous companies using Loom.
It's dirt easy for the one thing it does exceptionally well. If you think, "hmmm, I should make a quick screen capture of this thing on screen, you can start recording in seconds with almost no additional effort." Once you're done, the recording is automatically uploaded to your account site, and automatically creates a URL you can copy and share with your target audience. From IDEA to EXECUTION to DISTRIBUTION is literally seconds.
Compared to Synthesia, things don't "just work" the way you expect them to. Don't get me wrong, it feels like a good v1 product. But there are a lot of tiny performance and usability niggles that waste my time to find workarounds for
Loom is one of my favorite solutions and I've been a raving fan since they first launched. The value of quickly sharing videos in seconds is amazing. Our customers love it so much that they have even downloaded the Loom Chrome extension for their own use with their clients! It's so simple, and nothing else compares or competes.
I use Loom for simple tasks. Never used customer support really. It's so simple to use. I haven't had any real issue with Loom which would require customer support to help me out. So I just put 5 because I don't know if the customer support is good or bad since I never used, so I'm kind of neutral.
When we evaluated the alternatives, Loom was by far the most advanced tool, with multiple types of integrations. Additionally, Loom also provided a Free plan, which made it easy to consider as an alternative. Vidyard and similar tools integrated better with certain other tools (Vidyard + HubSpot), but Loom had better overall integrations with most tools we use.
The biggest help Colossyan has had is being able to import PowerPoint presentations that can quickly be converted into videos. That has been a huge time saver for when there are quick deadlines for videos that need to be sent out to employees. It has saved us hours of work every day, which has allowed us to focus on other projects.
Loom has increased my efficiency and value to clients so much. I save a ton of time by being able to send them video recordings walking through their website rough drafts and final tutorials.
Loom is incredibly affordable. I am satisfied with their subscription cost.
Loom has helped me communicate clearly to clients, so there's less room for error/misunderstanding (especially when talking about design decisions).
