Key features

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.

ScreenRec

Screen, webcam and audio recording
Records the whole screen or a selected area together with the microphone, computer audio and a webcam overlay. Signed-in users have no length limit and no watermark.
Annotated screenshots
Captures a region of the screen and adds shapes, arrows and comments, then copies the image to the clipboard or saves it to the cloud account.
Instant share links
Recordings upload while they are being made, so a private link is ready when recording stops. Automatic uploads are capped at 10 a month on Free and 50 on Pro.
Offline recording and MP4 export
Without a connection a capture is saved as a local file and uploaded once the computer is back online. Recordings can also be exported as MP4.
Access control and viewer analytics
A viewer can be asked for a password or access can be limited to named users, and analytics show who watched a video and for how long.
Voice dictation and AI credits
Dictation turns speech into text, with 5, 180 or 1,200 minutes a month by plan. Monthly AI credits pay for transcripts, captions and generated titles and summaries.
