Loom now has a desktop app for Windows and Mac that lets capture your screen, record your front-facing camera, and narrate your video all at once β no switching apps or upload required.

I had tried Loom a while back, and it wasn't a fit then. Just tried a trial of the new Pro version and it seems really nice, and the workflow to record a quick information video, bug, support video, or product feedback is fast and slick.
The only items that keep it from being perfect for me (and will probably keep me from buying long term)
1. Way too much branding on the video playback page, including a call to action popup and the end of playback. This is going to be confusing to some of the non-tech people I send videos to, and I'm going to spend more time explaining this to them and telling them they didn't really need to create a Loom account than what the product saves me in time.
For a free product, brand the heck out of it - but a paid version should allow you to hide most or all of this. I looked in the KB for a way to disable this, but couldn't find it. Sent a message to the team, so hopefully they will come back with something to help.
2. The default "Dock - Dock" video name for every video. Why not at least make this a time / date. I'd probably change this 80% of the time, but it would be nice if the other 20% didn't all have the same video name
Pros:
Great video quality, easy to use, uploads are automatic and fast
Cons:
Even with the Pro account there seems to be a lot of forced Loom Branding and call to actions on the video playback URL

Just gave it a try. Nice flow and great functionalities.
+1 to let users display or not the toolbox on left side of the screen in the final output
@karahasanh that's awesome! Thanks so much for your continued support! We really appreciate you.

Hi @_shahedk ! I have been using Loom free for about a year now (and I love it!) but I have to say I am disappointed that you guys did not include the Linux community during the release of Loom PRO . Specially since now it is easier than ever to build for Linux using Snaps and distribute to multiple Linux distrios with just one build. Can you guys please add this as a request?
@_shahedk@rhunter Hey Rick! Unfortunately a Linux app is not on our roadmap for the foreseeable future, but we will be iterating on the existing chrome extension and making it much faster and more powerful in the coming months.

This really does make communication so much easier and quicker. Great for communicating with remote workers and also clients
Pros:
So easy to use and pro version is well worth the $
Cons:
Desktop version takes too long to open (but we're only talking like 5 seconds so not much of a con!)
Hey Flemming! Would you mind sending me an email at vinay@loom.com with your email tied to your Loom account? I'd like to see why the app takes 5 seconds to load for you and cut that time down!

Great audio and video quality. Love the emojis and # view tracking. Very grateful for the Loom PRO invitation. Just downloaded it and can't wait to use the advanced features. Thank You Thank You πππ
Pros:
I am a Happy Loom user for about two months now. Extremely easy to use and no watermark for this free tool - Awesome!
Cons:
For the regular version, Trim feature has room for improvement. Not a big deal. It may no longer be applicable to the PRO one.

Been using Loom for ~2 years and continually impressed by the use cases - design/ux/ui recordings, communicating with remote peers, video notes for team knowledge base and so much more! The ubiquity on slack, trello, chrome, and desktop is so appreciated. Work life is easier and happier thanks to Loom.
Pros:
Fantastic product. Works flawlessly. Amazing team.
