Loom records your screen and camera in one click, uploads immediately, and returns a link with a transcript and viewer analytics, so a two-minute walkthrough can replace a meeting nobody wanted. It has become the default way to hand off a bug report or a design review to someone in another time zone. Comments and reactions land on the timeline, which turns feedback into something more specific than a reply saying it looks fine.
Who it is for
Distributed teams replacing status meetings with short recorded walkthroughs.

Where it falls short
The free plan caps each recording at five minutes and limits how many videos you can keep, and the per-creator price is hard to justify if you only record occasionally.
Pricing
Free plan limited to five minutes per video and a cap on stored videos; paid per creator per month.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Loom.
