What Loom does
Loom is a screen and camera recorder that lives in your browser toolbar. Click the icon, choose what to record, whether that's your full screen, a single tab, or just your camera, and start talking. When you stop, Loom uploads the recording and hands you a shareable link immediately, so you don't need to export a file or upload it anywhere manually.
Loom free vs paid
The free plan lets you record and share videos with a capped number of videos kept active at once. Paid plans raise or remove that limit and add features like team libraries, advanced editing, and AI-generated summaries or titles. For occasional personal use, the free plan is usually enough; teams recording often will likely need a paid tier.
Is Loom safe?
Loom requests access to your screen, tab content, and camera and microphone when you record, which is expected for a screen recorder to function. Recordings are stored on Loom's servers and shared via links you control, so treat sensitive recordings the same way you'd treat any cloud-hosted video, and set link permissions accordingly.
