Loom
FreeRecord your screen, camera and voice in one click and share the video as a link the moment you stop recording. Free tier includes 25 videos of up to five minutes each.
Why we recommend Loom
Loom turned screen recording from a file-management chore into a communication primitive: the video uploads while you record, so a shareable link is on your clipboard the second you hit stop. That five-second loop — record, stop, paste — is why async video review replaced a meaningful share of meetings in remote teams. Viewer analytics, comments and transcripts make it a real communication channel rather than a file format.
Best use cases
Best for: code review walkthroughs where pointing at the screen beats writing paragraphs, bug reports that show the repro instead of describing it, onboarding and how-to libraries for support teams, and design feedback where tone of voice prevents misreadings that text invites.
Honest limitations
The free tier's 25-video and five-minute limits arrive quickly for regular users. Videos live on Loom's cloud — organizations with strict data policies need the enterprise tier or a different tool. Editing is minimal by design: trims and stitches, not a real editor.
