@_shahedk Congrats! Are you doing anything special for the PH community with this launch? Just signed up and there are over 24,000 people ahead of me. At what point can people expect to get access?
@_shahedk@abadesi Great question! I'm stepping in here while Shahed gets some rest back in SF. We 💖 the PH community and will for sure take that into consideration when giving access to the app in the coming weeks 😇

I love loom. I have used Quicktime to record my screen for years, but the whole post production to upload to dropbox to share was a hassle.
Loom has saved me time and with its' comments and notification when someone has watched my video is a fantastic add on
I love Loom
Pros:
Fantastic way to record my screen and share
Cons:
That it has taken this long to get to a desktop app =)
Report
Before Loom, sharing a video of a product bug was a daunting tasks. You would need to either use Quicktime on Mac or some other complicated software to record your screen (maybe if your lucky the audio would work) and that would give you a big old 500+ MB video file for a decent sized video. At this point you lose faith since you need to share this and it's not getting any smaller even if you try all the compression tricks. You end up uploading it for a half hour to G Drive and send a link to your co-worker... Now you can literally click the Chrome extension, click start, record and then share. DONE.
Pros:
It just works and the sharing and commenting functionalities are flawless.
Cons:
Sometimes there are bugs when recording on Chrome but this might have been resolved with the new releases.

Great and powerful tool for communication, it makes explaination of things much easier and faster
I do site development meaning I design sewers and set the finished grade. Sometimes the client wants to see what things will look like as we’re working. Autocad doesn’t allow you to export your object viewer (where you see things in 3D) so we used to export to sketch-up and it took hours to tinker and get things to look how they did before exporting. We rarely did it because of how long it took. Now we do it often to show clients that want to be more involved in the design but cant visualize what we put in paper as well. Slowly becoming a powerful tool to help us serve our clients.
@shreyaa_ratra At this stage, loom is currently a free to use product, in the near future we will be presenting premium features. Feel free to send me a message and we can chat!
