About Loom

Loom is a video messaging tool that lets you record your screen, camera, or both and share instantly with a link. The free plan includes 25 videos up to 5 minutes each.

What You Get on the Free Plan

  • 25 videos - Record and store up to 25 videos
  • 5 minutes per video - Each recording can be up to 5 minutes long
  • Screen and camera recording - Record your screen, webcam, or both
  • Instant sharing - Get a shareable link as soon as you stop recording
  • Viewer insights - See who watched your video and for how long
  • Comments and reactions - Viewers can leave timestamped feedback

What to Know

The 25 video limit and 5-minute cap are the main restrictions. Paid plans ($15/user/month) provide unlimited videos and longer recordings. Loom is best used for async communication: explaining bugs, giving design feedback, or walking through processes instead of scheduling another meeting.
