About Loom
Loom — acquired by Atlassian in 2023 — 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, and Looms now embed natively in Jira tickets and Confluence pages. For distributed teams — especially those already in the Atlassian ecosystem — Loom has become as essential as Slack.
