About Loom
Loom is the async video messaging tool that has replaced countless unnecessary meetings with a quick screen recording. Record your screen, camera, or both, add a link, and share — recipients watch when it's convenient for them and can react, comment, and ask questions at specific timestamps. Loom's AI automatically generates transcripts, titles, and summaries for every video. The Loom for Education plan is free for teachers and students. For distributed teams working across time zones, Loom has become as essential as Slack.
