"Simple Screen Recordings That Streamline Developer Communication"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Loom?

What I like most about Loom is how simple it makes communication through screen recordings. As a developer, I often need to explain application workflows, demonstrate bugs, walk through code changes, or share project updates with teammates. Instead of writing long messages or trying to arrange a call, I can record my screen with audio and share the link right away.

Another thing I find especially useful is that recordings can be rewatched whenever needed. For instance, when I share a technical walkthrough or explain a particular feature, teammates can pause, rewind, and revisit specific steps later if they miss something or want a quick refresher. This also makes Loom helpful for knowledge transfer and for onboarding new team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Loom?

One area that could be improved is the editing functionality, since I sometimes need more flexibility to adjust recordings after I’ve finished them. Also, longer videos can occasionally take a while to process, which can slow things down when I’m trying to move on to the next step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Loom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Loom helps me handle the everyday communication challenges that come with juggling multiple development tasks and collaborating with teammates. In the past, explaining a technical issue or demonstrating a feature often meant checking everyone’s availability and scheduling a call. With Loom, I can just record the issue, walk through the steps, and share a video link without waiting for everyone to be free.

For instance, when I finish a feature or run into a bug, I can record a quick walkthrough that shows the actual application behaviour and what I’m seeing on my end. I then share it with the relevant team members, and they can watch it whenever they have time, rewind key parts, and come back to the recording later if they need the same context again. Overall, it cuts down on repeated explanations, avoids unnecessary meetings, and makes project communication and knowledge sharing much more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
