Loom

Vorteile

Loom lässt sich ultra einfach bedienen und vor allem: schnell an den Start bringen. Es löst genau den Pain, den es lösen soll: kinderleichte Bildschirmaufnauken

Nachteile

Das Browser plug-in nervt manchmal in der Handhabung. Gewisse Einstellungen (zB Videoqualität) sind irgendwo anders versteckt

Vorteile

easy to navigate, I used it for my presentation, I must say i was completely sold. And i managed to easily train my co-workers how to use it.

Nachteile

I am yet to find any cons, maybe a noticeable one would be how it launches itself when I switch on my laptop.

Vorteile

The videos get automatic titles and captions which is very helpful

Nachteile

If you mess up your recording you have to start from the beginning. There is no option to keep continuing after dinner point of time

Warum Loom gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loom

Vorteile

Loom is easy to use
The UI is good
The idea behind the product is very logical, it helps you create a guide whilst recording your webcam and generating a link. This can save time if you need to explain things to people often and share it. The product works as intended

Nachteile

It's quite a niche product - I didn't find myself needing to use it often enough to justify having it. What it can do is not something that is extremely special, and you can use other software to record your screen and create guides which I think is more applicable in different situations (scribe)

Vorteile

I love that it saves me time. Instead of taking screen shots and making an email with arrows etc., I can easily record the steps on how to do something. Or, instead of phoning someone to explain how to do something or walking them through it over the phone, I can make a short Loom video for them. Also, if someone else has the same issue or question, I already have the Loom video with the answer to send to them.

Nachteile

I use two computer screens and I find it difficult to get Loom to record the correct screen or it will allow me to record the Loom homescreen, but not switch over to the actual screen I want to record.

Vorteile

Easy UI, I like the AI summaries it's the text below the thumbnail when pasted.

Editing is good and easy. Especially when they launch the keyword editing tool like Descript

Customer service is good.

Nachteile

That you cannot include a playlist of videos... like hippo and Dubb.

It would be amazing to have the feature video as a brief introduction and then supporting video content underneath.

I have been Loom user for at least 4 years now.... It used to be called opentest.com .... I was one of the first 50 users. I have been requesting this feature since day one

Vorteile

Its really easy to use, anyone even with poor computer skills can use it and it also allows us to share any issues we have with people with a quick and easy link. It is also easy to edit and amend a recording if you end too late with a recording. I like that you can use both mobile and PC

Nachteile

Sometimes the recordings can take a little while to process

Vorteile

It’s intuitive, fast, and so helpful - I use it to show my clients how to use certain tools. The inscreen video makes it a more personal experience.

Nachteile

I honestly haven’t found anything I dislike. It has a good free version as well!

Vorteile

Loom is easy to use and great for easy video creation

Nachteile

I've absolutely loved Loom so far and can't complain

Vorteile

Its so flexible and easy to navigate. Easy to copy links, clear videos.

Nachteile

I can of find it hard to edit videos, but outside that its cool

Vorteile

Fast and efficient tool for creating screen recordings

Nachteile

Limited editing options within the platform, It's require external tools

Vorteile

Loom is such an incredibly easy tool to use across the company. We've used a few solutions in the past including slack recordings and clickup but truthfully, Loom has far more powerful capabilities via their rich feature set. Instant embed is a huge feature for us enabling you to simply copy and paste a link. The ability to measure insights and analytics on videos is important given we use Loom for external business development. In addition, the ability to tag others in a video, comment and engage supercharges your ability to work seamlessly across timezones. We have employees all over the world so it's crucial.

Nachteile

The biggest challenge was whether we actually choose a dedicated video platform (additional charges + additional learning internally and yet another tool). ClickUp is getting far more sophisticated with recordings and of course, you want to consolidate as much as you possibly can. In saying that, in the end, Loom is too good and we decided to use alongside other tools.

Vorteile

I loved that Loom provided a lot of versatility in how you wanted to record content. You could choose which tab or screen, audio or just video, or even add a video of you talking through the presentation at the bottom corner.

Nachteile

There was definitely a bit of a learning curve trying to learn to use this tool and maximize it's features. For example, I didn't know I could cut snippets of the video out until much later and even then it took some time to figure out, but that's also one of my favorite features once I did figure it out.

Vorteile

1. It's easy to use 2. It makes creating tutorials easy.3. The voice recording feature is amazing as you can direct the viewers. 4. Creating an account helps view all the videos created by people in the same organization.5. It has an easy-to-learn interface. 6. It is well-designed and easily useable.

Nachteile

1. Downloading the created videos is at times hard.2. The time limit on recording at times makes it hard to create complex videos. 3.

Vorteile

I started using this app with the free trial. I use it on daily basis since I work a lot with customer service and it is much easier a very short video explaining any process. Everything is automated! The system will just cut pauses and provide title and description of the video with AI features. You receive notification real time from who watched the video. Among colleagues is also useful. Instead of creating manuals and long books explaining all process/rules in place you can just use Loom to show a new trainee how's the job and what he/she should be doing. As remote worker for an international company this has been a game changer. Even when I am off/away my colleague can go to the library of training and see how it is done. Absolutely brilliant app! I am happy to have now the subscription so I can extend the use of AI features.

Nachteile

There is nothing really I did not like about loom so far. I am happy with it, and will attend also webinars

Vorteile

Love how easy Loom is, mate. Unlike other software, it records my screen and webcam like a dream, so I'm not wasting time writing long emails.

Nachteile

Nah, can't fault it. Loom's the ducks guts!

Vorteile

Loom makes training and collaboration super easy. It permanently lives on my desktop, in case I need to show a team member how to do something. I think any team with Customer Success activities or that works with multiple digital tools that require onboarding needs to use this.

Nachteile

On Mac, it "bounces" off your Mac Deck frequently. It is always refreshing and it is distracting. Sometimes it doesn't save your preferences (such as recording with your mic off), but it is easy to adjust. Sometimes, it feels a little bit invasive. The Autotranscript is very useful, though most of the time is not 100% accurate or doesn't highlight the right topics.

Vorteile

What I like the most about Loom is its ease-of-use. In 5 minutes, you can record a video and share it. It's the best tool out there for asynchronous work.

I use it for my team but also for sales prospecting and product updates.

Nachteile

The software can be buggy at times even if you have all the recent updates set up. I also wasn't a big fan of the AI generated summary. I think they can make a better use of AI.

Vorteile

Required me to rethink how to collaborate, but once the penny dropped this has been a huge time saver. Quick and easy to record videos to the team and tutorials for clients. All the edit functionality is really powerful and so can crop and triple my video without having to start again

Nachteile

Would love the ability to annotate on top of the video

Vorteile

I work remotely with various clients who record podcasts. That means that I'm managing a tech-based product, often times with clients who are not fluent in technology. I use Loom to go over systems, software, and processes in real time so the client can watch what I'm doing on their own time, and refer back to it if they need to in order to properly learn how to use the system/software etc.

Nachteile

There isn't really anything I don't like about Loom - it is exactly what it says it is. Even just using the free version, you can record multiple 5 minute videos if you have a longer message to portray.

Vorteile

Loom helped make popular the concept of sending screen recordings via a link. After you record a screen-share its quickly uploaded and a link to the video created. It does this much faster than Google drive does.

Nachteile

Sometimes with software like Loom they start with a great concept eg easily make screen recordings that can be quickly shared via a link but then in an effort to improve it they add lots of options that you dont need so the UI is a bit cluttered.

Vorteile

I appreciate how I'm able to easily share a video with a link without having to download it as this saves me a lot of storage space and time.

Nachteile

I found it a bit tricky the first time i used it, but with time i got accustomed to it.

Vorteile

Loom simplifies the process of creating video messages and tutorials. Its intuitive interface allows users to record their screen, webcam, or both, with just a few clicks. This ease of use saves time and encourages users to communicate visually without the hassle of complex setups.

Nachteile

While Loom offers basic editing features, users seeking advanced editing options might find its capabilities limited. Complex video editing tasks require exporting videos to external software, adding an extra step to the process.

Vorteile

I like that Loom is so easy to use. You can record a video on your phone and then easily upload or send it to someone.

Nachteile

I dont like that you can't download ypur video with the free version. I didn't know this until after I already did the video.

Vorteile

It is easy to create videos that are polished enough for external use. Such videos clearly demonstrate our product's value.

Nachteile

When sharing a browser tab, it is not always clear when the recording has started, which means I have to clip the start of the video on many occasions. In the worst-case scenario, this concern spoils my confidence to introduce the topic during the recording as I am unsure what is being recorded and what is not.

Vorteile

The new AI transcription tool makes it much easier for our foreign team members to understand the voiceover from the video!

Nachteile

Each start-up considers the pricing model of each tool, so perhaps having a more start-up-friendly option would have been beneficial.

Vorteile

What I like most about Loom is its ability to share recorded videos quickly, as it allows users to share them simply by providing a link.

Nachteile

What I like least about Loom is the limited options for customizing the appearance of the videos.

Vorteile

Ease of recording videos and also the library to look through past recordings, the speed up feature also

Nachteile

Can be a little glitchy at times especially when starting a recording

Vorteile

It's so easy to get started, just connect, provide permissions, and you're ready to go. Getting into it and using is effortless.

Nachteile

Editing isn't hard, but it can be confusing. At times I was unsure if I was deleting the selected portion, or the rest of the video.

Vorteile

Perfect for Recording YouTube Videos – I use Loom to record my YouTube videos (as they are usually screen captures). I must say that this software provides high-quality screen recordings!

Easy Video Downloads on Mobile – The Loom app makes it incredibly easy to download my videos straight to my phone. This is a game-changer when I need to quickly edit content on the go.

Generous Free Plan – Loom gives me access to 25 free videos, each up to 5 minutes long. This is great for short tutorials or quick explanations.

Nachteile

Limited Editing Features – Loom's built-in editing tools are pretty basic. I often have to use another editing app to trim, add effects, or enhance my videos.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to record and share videos online with Loom

Nachteile

It was a bit tricky for me to learn how to switch from the circle in the video to a full screen video of myself. I think this transition can be easier.

Vorteile

As a newbie working as a freelancer, I am sometimes having difficulty understanding the instructions given to me by my client. But with the help of Loom, my client is able to provide and guide me thru the process using screen recording. In that way, I am able to finish the task on time and accurately. And it saves time since I can just watch the video again without needing to call or talk with my client.

Nachteile

The site sometimes crashes and the video recorder won't record despite clicking the button several times.

Vorteile

My favorite feature of Loom is the short videos have completely replaced the need for some meetings, allowing my team more time for work. The time limit allows my team to be more concise in updates.

Nachteile

There is not anything I dislike about Loom.

Vorteile

I love how easy it is to use, even if you are not tech-savvy it's easy to use. It's easy to organize my recordings with folders and share them with team members and clients. It saves me so much time by creating short screen recordings versus having to have a meeting. It's also low-cost compared to other software solutions.

Nachteile

I have no cons for it, I think it's great. Even the free account offers a lot.

Vorteile

The new AI powered features that have been added to the platform such as enhanced transcriptions, the new tagging feature that tags specific parts of your recording for easy review at a later date, and even the automatic video title generator so you do not have to create and modify a name for your recording anymore, if you chose not to. They all help me save a ton of extra time and adds new capabilities to my workflow, including my automated workflow through Zapier.

Nachteile

I think it could use some better video editing and post-production capabilities. They have added some new features lately, but there are still a couple more that I would like to see, even on the free plans.

Vorteile

Very easy to create quality loom videos and store them efficiently, the dashboard feature has alot of good features you can use, also great that it auto creates a description for you

Nachteile

Mainly the amount of videos that can be saved

Vorteile

Super easy to use.
Similar interface to Zoom, Skype, etc.
Ease of recording and Chrome extension really boosted the product's usefulness.

Nachteile

The only issue was that one older person on my team would always forget to record, complaining about it being too hard to use. Turned out they never read any of the how-to's or the use documentation.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Loom

Vorteile

Its free FOREVER for educators. BUT its not an inferior product. Its an amazing product that we would probably pay for if it wasn't free.

Nachteile

Out of all my tools on my Mac, I feel like this updates all the time. Not bad by any means, outside of a very slight inconvenience.

Vorteile

If you are looking for a tool to either record your screen to help users, communicate with your screen, or make a tutorial, Loom is a perfect option. I love that they recently added frames for your photo/small self-video, screens for explanations and that you can control which screen you share. The free version is 5 minutes or less, so if you need more time than time you will need to pay, but it is worth it.

Nachteile

It might, in some cases, make my laptop (Mac) slower if I have it opened for too long. It gets fixed by closing and reopening it.

Vorteile

I love that I can share quick videos with my key account customers and my team. This helps me to save a lot of time and be more productive .. I just love it and I use every single day

Nachteile

I think a bit more option to edit the video that would be nice ..

Vorteile

loom is very easy to use, a plug-and-play kind of situation and I can get my presentations done without much hustle.

Nachteile

Loom primarily operated as an online tool. This means that users need an internet connection to record and access their videos.

Vorteile

Loom is easily accessible for all of our employees for instructional videos

Nachteile

No real cons other than its a paid app but it offers a lot and worth it.

Vorteile

J'aime beaucoup la facilité avec laquelle Loom permet de faire des appels vidéo et sa fonction de partage d'écran

Nachteile

La nouvelle fonctionnalité d'édition intégrée est très limitée, j'enregistre les rushs et je fais le montage avec d'autres logiciels

Vorteile

Loom is easy to use and allows you to record both your screen and webcam.

Nachteile

It’s perfect for sharing instructions and ideas with others, and feedback comes quickly

Vorteile

I LOVE the record screen features. The mic/speaker quality is great, and I love being able to do just my screen or my screen and camera at the same time (picture in picture)

Nachteile

This is probably more because of the type of tablet/laptop that I used, but sometimes if I held it wrong, it would record upside down. A feature where you could “flip” your video would be fantastic!

Vorteile

Easy to make and share videos with team members.

Nachteile

Sometimes I have problems with the recording function if using a browser other than Chrome.

Vorteile

I like that you can use it for free (with certain limits) to be able to make an informed decision before buying. It's also a very convenient tool thanks to the practical sharing options.

Nachteile

The browser extension, while seemingly practical, didn't work well for me at all. Most of the time I had to use the main app instead.

Vorteile

- the standard for short, shareable screen recordings

Nachteile

- many options in this space with limited innovation in the standard product

Vorteile

I like that the communication is fast and flawless
It makes collaboration easy
We can easily record sessions

Nachteile

No bad experiences with Loom. It is all good.
