Overall Satisfaction with Loom

I use Loom both for my business and personally any time I need to record a screen-share. Often, I'll get questions from clients, etc, that would take a long time to write out instructions for, so Loom allows me to quickly and visually show a step-by-step process. It's much more effective than communicating by text alone and it solves problems in one response rather than an email chain.
  • Very quick to access and record via shortcuts.
  • Support for Chrome and capturing a browser window.
  • Ability to instantly share or download video.
  • Answering technical questions.
  • Answering emails when I can't type.
  • Creating how-to GIFs for social media.
  • Less time spend answering and re-answering questions.
  • Ability to record a video instead of writing (saves your fingers from typing).
  • Video and screen-sharing help clients solve their problems much more effectively than written instructions.
I tried lots of different screen recording software but ultimately chose Loom because it had the simplest and most user-friendly UI. There are certainly more advanced apps, like screenflow, but my use case is fairly simple—I just want to be able to record video/screen-shares as quickly and simply as possible.
I've contacted Loom on several occasions and not only do they get back in a matter of minutes or hours, but their whole team is really nice and super helpful. They provide links to documentation, ask in-depth questions to make sure they understand your problem and even use Loom itself to give you screen-share tutorials.

Loom is excellent for quickly and conveniently recording screen shares and/or videos of yourself. It works perfectly for answering client questions or when you want to send someone a response but can't (or don't want to) type. I wish Loom had some very basic editing features—for example, dropping in title sequences for different sections of the video. As of now, you're better off downloading the video and working with it in Adobe, etc.
