Loom is a video messaging tool for recording the screen, the camera, or both at once. Short clips replace long written updates and meetings that could have been a recording.

Quick recording - captures screen and camera in a few clicks.
Easy sharing - each video gets a link that others can watch and comment on.
Editing - trims and touch-ups without separate software.
Apps - Chrome extension, desktop app and mobile app.
AI help - turns recordings into summaries, docs and agent-ready prompts.

It suits remote teams, support staff and teachers who explain things faster by showing than by typing. A free plan covers basic recording and sharing.
