Loom has made it super duper easy to watch their quick videos while using your favorite productivity tools. I love it when a freemium product gets easier to use!

P.S. to those who don't have the Loom extension, you'll be able to watch this video inline once you add it for Chrome.

@joethomas_x @hnshah Hey. <3 Loom -- but wondering: Is there much of a difference here from copying and pasting the URL in? I tested in Asana. Clicking the "Record Video" button just directs you to the normal Loom /Chrome workflow. Not much "there" there? IDK.. and then hitting tiny dots menu opens "Last Recording" -- but I could easily copy/paste that if I just did a recording - and then "My Videos" could be a cool feature but at least in Asana the message box is so tiny that it's hard to tell which video you are choosing... right? Maybe better UX with other integrations? Of course I used a quick Loom to show my UX :) https://www.useloom.com/share/54... --- Loom is super cool. I'm spreading the word... just not sure yet what the "aha" moment is of this new Workflows integration... Would love someone to share their "aha" that goes beyond saving a couple secs to copy/paste a link. Thx guys

@loganhale a usable UX would go a long to communicating the value of the Loom Hint for quick access to your videos. In places like GitHub and Trello where the experience is smoother the value is there.
We're of the opinion that shaving off seconds, which is only the time frame if you keep your Loom My Videos page open at all time for quick reference, that the Hint shaves over more like 30-60 seconds. Admittedly, this is not "aha" moment inspiring right off the bat, but if taken in aggregate for our power users recording and sharing 10 videos a day, those savings will creep up on you.
As for the Record Video flow, it's just a simple reminder that quick videos are available to you. Takes some people a bit to get to the tipping point of understanding how to integrate into their communication flow and the Loom Hint is there to be a gentle reminder 😉 we're working right now to fix that flow on Asana. Give us a few days to get that out to you!
