Loom

Key facts: Loom is a video messaging tool for async work: record your screen, camera or both, share a link, and teammates watch on their own time, with comments and reactions replacing a meeting. AI features add summaries, titles, chapters and filler-word removal to finished videos.

Plans: Loom has a free plan with limited video length and features, and paid Business and Enterprise plans that raise limits and add AI features, branding and analytics. The free tier covers short updates well.

Best for: remote teams, support and sales staff replacing meetings with short videos. Watch out: a video message is only useful if it is short — keep updates tight and add a written summary for skimmers.
