What we like

  • Share link right after recording, with comments, reactions and viewer insights
  • Desktop app records system audio and up to 4K on paid plans
  • Apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android

What to watch

  • Free plan: 25 videos, 5 minutes each, 720p
  • Downloads need a paid plan
  • No Linux or Chrome OS support

Best for: You send short screen-and-camera updates to colleagues and want a link the moment you stop.

Our verdict

Loom is built for one job: record your screen and camera, then send a link. The link is ready when you stop, anyone with it can watch, and viewers can comment and react. The desktop app records system audio on Windows and Mac, and paid plans record up to 4K with no length limit.

The free Starter plan is tight. You get 25 videos of up to 5 minutes, in 720p, and you can’t download them. Business costs $180 per user a year, and editing beyond trim and stitch, such as edit by transcript and text overlays, needs Business + AI at $240.

If you only need the share link and want a lower price, look at Cap or Zight. If you use Linux or a Chromebook, Loom doesn’t support them. For polished tutorials with a real editor, Tella or Camtasia fit better.
