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 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.

My overall experience has been very good. I love using it directly from my phone. I dislike that I cant download my videos with the free version.
Pros
I like that Loom is so easy to use. You can record a video on your phone and then easily upload or send it to someone.
Cons
I dont like that you can't download ypur video with the free version. I didn't know this until after I already did the video.

Overall my experience with look has been great. I really appreciate how easy it is to create a video of myself and share the link with others. I use Loom to send videos when I apply for jobs on Upwork and I have used them as training material as well. Before Loom I used YouTube and the process with YouTube is definitely more tideous. Loom is much more straightforward and simple to use.
Pros
I like how easy it is to record and share videos online with Loom
Cons
It was a bit tricky for me to learn how to switch from the circle in the video to a full screen video of myself. I think this transition can be easier.

Help Me, My Team, & My Clients Many Hours of Time
Reviewed on 03/10/2024
Pros
The new AI powered features that have been added to the platform such as enhanced transcriptions, the new tagging feature that tags specific parts of your recording for easy review at a later date, and even the automatic video title generator so you do not have to create and modify a name for your recording anymore, if you chose not to. They all help me save a ton of extra time and adds new capabilities to my workflow, including my automated workflow through Zapier.
Cons
I think it could use some better video editing and post-production capabilities. They have added some new features lately, but there are still a couple more that I would like to see, even on the free plans.

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.

Loom for Screen Recording
Reviewed on 09/12/2023
Pros
If you are looking for a tool to either record your screen to help users, communicate with your screen, or make a tutorial, Loom is a perfect option. I love that they recently added frames for your photo/small self-video, screens for explanations and that you can control which screen you share. The free version is 5 minutes or less, so if you need more time than time you will need to pay, but it is worth it.
Cons
It might, in some cases, make my laptop (Mac) slower if I have it opened for too long. It gets fixed by closing and reopening it.

Pros
I have used Loom for bug reporting. It is a very useful product for bug reporting. I like mostly that Loom creates links and the record can see everybody that has the link. It is very easy to use to report bugs. My favorite screen recorder tool for testing.
Cons
If I don't have the premium the records limits are very less.

Loom for Teachers
Reviewed on 01/04/2024
Pros
Look presented itself as an opportunity during the COVID pandemic for me to screen record and share lessons to my students virtually. I prefer Loom to other platforms like Screencastify because of the ease of use. The platform is easy to manipulate, and I love being able to share a direct link to my videos. I used Loom to record myself reading novels. This helped my students to be able to “read” with me. As a result, I have continued to record novels to share with my students.
Cons
Having a limited number (free version) of recordings in your library is a downfall, but I would say Loom is worth it!

Great experience, it allows me and my team to quickly share knowledge "face-to-face" anytime anyplace. We love the human, seeing someone's face, aspect.
Pros
The chrome plugin is awesome as it provides easy access to Loom to make on the fly recordings, videos and step by step walk throughs to share with my team or clients.
Cons
Even though the Plugin is great, it can freeze my browser for up to 10 seconds to load and then another few seconds to start recording. After creating a video, a personal dislike for myself, is managing permissions is not intuitive and a little confusing when I want to share certain videos and permissions with different stakeholders inside and outside my organisation.

Pros
I think Loom's super intuitive and straight forward. It's easy to set-up and easy to use and get going. Been really helpful for me when trying to train the team on different jobs. I can simply record a video when I'm doing the job anyway, and do a voiceover training the team as I go. Then I can send it out and they can watch it at their disposal.
Cons
Nothing, it's a straight forward platform that does what it says on the tin.

Pros
The ease and simplicity of screen recording. Having used it personally for quite some time I would say having to move between my mobile application and the desktop version to do a handle full of things at the same time with amazing synchronization was a good one for me.
