Airtime

Camera for video calls

A virtual camera that corrects presenter lighting, applies looks with real, blurred or virtual backgrounds, and shows GIFs, visuals and away screens during a call.

Recorder

Records the presenter, the screen or both from a browser or the desktop app, in high definition for up to 1 hour, with system audio and simple trimming of the start and end.

Viewer-controlled playback

A finished recording is shared as a hosted link or downloaded as an MP4, and the presenter picture can be moved and resized even after publishing.

Creator presentations

A desktop suite that places the speaker and slides in one layout, imports .ppt, .key and .pdf files, and records in chapters that can be rearranged and trimmed.

Stacks for meetings

Materials are gathered into a stack before a meeting so attendees can scan ahead, go back and zoom on their own, and the stack remains after the call.

Team administration

The Team plan adds an admin dashboard, centralized billing and single sign-on with Apple or Google.

Loom

Screen and camera recording

Record the screen, the camera or both from the desktop app, the Chrome extension or the mobile apps, then share the video as a link.

Basic editing

Trim recordings, stitch clips together and add backgrounds, text, arrows and box overlays.

Transcripts and captions

Transcriptions and closed captions in more than 50 languages, included on the free Starter plan.

Comments and viewer insights

Viewers can respond with comments, emoji reactions and tasks, and creators can see who watched. Engagement insights and calls-to-action are paid features.

Loom AI

Business + AI and Enterprise add auto-summaries, auto-chapters and filler-word removal. An AI bug report feature fills in Jira work items from a recording.

Meeting recordings

Meetings can be recorded without a length limit, including on the Starter plan.
