Key features	One-click screen, webcam, or combined recording with an instant shareable link AI-generated transcripts, titles, and video summaries Viewer engagement analytics showing who watched and how far Drag-and-drop trimming and in-browser editing Chrome extension for recording directly from any tab	macOS screen recorder that summarises what it records Turns a recording into Linear issues, Jira tickets or GitHub issues Posts written summaries to Slack and captures leads into HubSpot A written report in about 90 seconds Team workspaces with a shared library and timestamped comments
Pros	Recording-to-shareable-link flow takes seconds, cutting down on scheduled status calls AI transcript and summary features are bundled rather than sold as a separate tool Backed by Atlassian's infrastructure and roadmap since the 2023 acquisition	Removes the transcribe-then-retype step between a bug demo and a ticket Sends output to the tools a team already uses Free to download, with no account needed to start
Cons	Free Starter plan caps individual videos at 5 minutes, pushing active users to a paid tier fast Business + AI tier costs more on top of an already per-seat price Atlassian ownership raises questions about how deeply Loom stays tied to non-Atlassian tools long-term	macOS only Useful mainly where Linear, Jira, GitHub or Slack are already in place Summaries still need a read-through before they become tickets
Company	Loom, Inc., founded 2015	21 Media
