Loom includes fast recording, screen sharing, link sharing, video editing, emoji reactions and comments, access controls, and advanced reporting. Users are able to use Loom to record their screen or a specific application in addition to live recording for any video session. Loom generates a custom URL for every video session, which allows video owners to share links to other users. Loom's editing tools allow users to edit, trim, and add CTAs and custom thumbnails. Video owners can use access controls to set privacy filters for videos to restrict visibility for users who don't have a password or URL link. Loom is available for Apple mobile devices via an iOS app. Loom offers a free version with limited capabilities and also offers pricing plans for three different tiers, billed per user, per month. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 518 users.

It just works whenever you need to make client videos. Simpler than OBS studio to use and send to clients. > > **Cons**: The 5 minute max video recording limit on the free plan makes it much harder to tell others to use it. It has also now gone up for the free plan from $8 to $18 which really is almost unaffordable for just a quick 10 minute video. I am totally fine with the 25 recording max amount of videos, but the 5 minutes is really not usable so you are almost required to go to a paid plan. > > Great product for ease of use and for just getting a quick video to a client, but it really has gotten pricey in the last few years. ----- ### "Thanks, Loom\!" — 5.0/5 > **Maureen** | *27 November 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an University adjunct instructor teaching online courses, I find Loom so helpful in conveying information to my students so easy. And allows for some of the "intricacies" of certain procedures (such as graphing or completing certain forms and procedures) to be demonstrated outside of our limited synchronous time together each week. I've also been able to edit some parts of a video, when student inquiries led me to realize some additional clarity was needed - without having to re-do the whole thing. I can edit right inside Loom. I'm also able to put videos in folders, so they can be organized by the course I teach. Though I can also share links to share from all folders with different groups. It's definitely a great value for the money it costs\! I can set the links to different permissions, allowing for some confidentiality and secure sharing. > > **Cons**: I haven't found much to be a problem with Loom. I use it for the basics, and it can do so much more than I use it for. But it's easy and pretty intuitive\! > > I haven't had any issues, and find it very helpful in my role as an educator. I've used it since 2020, and when covid caused so much of my work to be online it was a great asset to my work\! ----- ### "Loom for Educators" — 5.0/5 > **Jeff** | *17 March 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > Its been amazing. As soon as you are done recording you have a copied link that you can quickly send to someone else. Its also really intuitive and takes very little or no training. ----- ### "Great tool for async communication for teams" — 5.0/5 > **Tristan** | *2 February 2026* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Loom makes it really easy to explain ideas, give feedback, or walk through campaigns without scheduling another meeting. It’s been especially helpful for reviews, quick updates, and onboarding. > > **Cons**: The editing features are pretty basic, so you can’t do much beyond simple trims. Videos can also feel a little slow to load at times. > > Overall, it’s been very positive. Loom saves time and cuts down on meetings. It’s also very easy to use. ----- ### "Nicer than Teams" — 5.0/5 > **Georgina** | *23 September 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Loom is very simple to use. You can access it on the fly from your screen and start to quickly do a recording. I like the design features it has. > > **Cons**: I've used loom for video presentations several times and a couple of times for a teams presentation. In both cases, resolution of the avatar window is not the best; specially when using a background, my image flickers weirdly like if there was an aura. > > Overall I must say that I really like Loom. Is convenient, is well integrated with Chrome and very simple to use. It also has a quick explanation tool for users when Loom is introducing new features, making the UX pleasant. The audio works very well, and when I had to create video presentation, I was very happy that I could even edit the speed of the audio. ----- Page: 1 / 22\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/173344/loom?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/173344/loom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
