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.
