Loom Reviews & Product Details

I mostly use Loom when I realize that explaining something in a message is going to take much longer than just showing it. I record my screen, talk through what I'm doing and send the link. Usually a two-minute video replaces a pretty long conversation.

I also like that I don't really have to prepare anything. I can start recording, explain the problem or show an example, and that's it. It's especially convenient when we're not all working at the same time and there's no reason to schedule another call just for a small question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I start recording something that should take two minutes and end up with a much longer video because I made a mistake or explained something badly halfway through. Editing it afterward is possible, but for small recordings I usually don't want to spend time on that, so I just record it again.

It's not really a problem with Loom itself, but I do wish fixing a small part of a recording felt a little quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I started using Loom mainly because explaining certain issues over a call or in a long email isn’t always practical. Recording a quick screen video with my voice is much faster and more straightforward. When I find a bug, I can show exactly how to reproduce it, what I expected to happen, and what actually happened instead. Developers usually understand the issue much more quickly after watching the recording.

I’ve also used Loom to explain testing scenarios, share automation results, and do small walkthroughs for teammates. I like that I can record, copy the link, and send it right away without worrying about uploading large video files. Overall, it saves a lot of back-and-forth and helps avoid misunderstandings.

Honestly, I don’t have many complaints. Every now and then I end up recording the same video again because I miss a step or say something wrong, but that’s more on me than on the product.

For longer recordings, I do wish there were a few more built-in editing options so I wouldn’t have to switch to another tool. Other than that, it’s been straightforward and reliable whenever I’ve needed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a YouTube content creator, I like Loom mainly because I can quickly record my screen when I need to explain a software workflow, demonstrate a website, or capture something for a video. The recording process is straightforward, and features like automatic captions and titles save some editing time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least is that if I make a mistake during an important recording, I may have to restart rather than simply continuing from the exact point where I stopped. I also find the video customization options somewhat limited compared with dedicated video editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use this software mainly while creating editing tutorials and shopping site reviews for my YouTube channel. Features like screen recording, easy editing, annotations, and quick sharing/export are useful because I can demonstrate a process while explaining it to my audience.

The basic tools are easy to use, but when I need advanced editing, detailed effects, or more control over the final video, I still prefer using a dedicated professional editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Loom is its incredible ease of use combined with its speed. I can start recording my screen in just a couple of clicks and share the link instantly, which has drastically improved my workflow. Instead of typing out long, confusing explanations, I send a quick video, saving hours each week in communicating with both my team and my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One minor downside is that occasionally there can be slight glitches when recording, especially if the internet connection is unstable. Sometimes the video might take a bit longer to process or upload if the connection drops. It's not a frequent issue, but it can be a bit frustrating when you are in a rush.

It is very easy to record and share a quick video without having to schedule a meeting. I use it quite often when I need to explain something to the client or showcase about the previous experience working on similar project, this software very useful for me. The screen recording with camera options are very useful, I like that I can simply share a link instead of sending a large video files. It also helps for giving feedback to the clients or sharing the progress updates of the milestones that we deliver and if I want to share any issue or bug in the software that we produced for our clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few areas where I believe the software could improve. 1. Sometimes processing larger videos can take a little longer time than expected especially with larger recordings 2. Editing options could be a bit more advanced. The basic editing tools are useful but having more flexibility to edit, trim, or organize recordings would make it even better for professional use 3. Advance filtering options needs to be there in the platform. I really stuck when I want to find any past videos from the larger files/recorded videos it becomes difficult for me. If the platform has tagging options or folder based options that would be helpful in organizing 4. Another would be the meeting captions or transcript of the screen recording is not accurate all the time. I need to change manually the text so if AI integration to this could really help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a content creator, I like Loom because I can record my screen, webcam, and voice together and quickly create software tutorials or walkthroughs. The automatic captions and titles are also useful when I’m creating multiple videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The editing tools are basic, so Loom isn’t suitable when I want a highly polished YouTube video. If I make a mistake during recording, I may also need to start the recording again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I ended up using a lot in Loom is the quick screen recording feature. Explaining stuff while working is way easier this way. Whenever I show bugs, walk through feature requests, or give project updates, a short Loom video does the job better than a bunch of written text. It saves everyone time too.

Loom irritates me because bigger recordings don't process fast enough, especially when I need to share them right away. Also, the free plan feels limiting once I record videos regularly. Many helpful features are only in the paid versions, so switching to those becomes necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Loom for recording video and screensharing, and I appreciate its simplicity. Unlike Zoom, which was getting complicated and required making a call, Loom allows me to just record, create a public link, and share it. I like the public link sharing feature because it lets me share videos with a link without actually exporting them. Also, the initial setup of Loom was pretty easy.

the bigest annoyance with loom is the notifictions honestly. it keeps sending emails and popups wen someone views ur video or leaves a comment. gets quite distracting wen ur trying to focus on work. they shoud definitly give more control over notification settings.

also the editing features are very basic like u can only do simple trimming and cuts. if u want to do anything slightly advanced like adding text overlays or cutting multiple parts u just cant do it. for a video tool the editing is quite dissapointing and u end up having to use another software on top of it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about loom is that you can just easily record video and share with anyone. I am a freelancer so my work requires give a lot of updates about project and I am using loom for past 3 years. I just only use chrome extension. With just one click its very easy to record and share. One of the best tools I have used in my web development career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no downside but I wish it could give limit of more than 5 minutes. Many time when I record loom for give updates to client, I hit the 5 minutes limit because I don't have the paid version. So many times I had to record two videos. And one more thing that I want that in free version they should give access to atleast blur some sensitive information.
