@ian_russell I haven't used it a lot but I have used it for internal documentation of a process / workflow. So easy to use.

It's almost exactly the same logo.

Pros:

Product seems fine.

Cons:

Why are you using the Samsonite logo?

@_shahedk @abadesi Great question! I'm stepping in here while Shahed gets some rest back in SF. We 💖 the PH community and will for sure take that into consideration when giving access to the app in the coming weeks 😇

@_shahedk That sounds like an amazing tool for making videos, would surely recommend it to my video marketers friends.

@_shahedk Heyo 👋 just wondering if there is any update on when this is rolling out more broadly? I'm number 26k 💔 I use Loom daily and I'm so stoked for the desktop version

Loom ftw

Pros:

Easy to use, just under your fingertips, free, good quality

Cons:

Had some issues with quality on high-res screens, but I think it got better

We've been on the beta for this, and it's great! Not being limited by the browser and having high quality exports is top-notch 🙃

Pros:

Simple, easy, and great high-quality videos we send to customer and prospects

Cons:

None 🎉

The silver lining is this has affirmed my belief that more people should learn how to code. So they can fix horrible software like this. They were responsive to support; but all they told me was that the video was gone and there was no way to get it back.

Pros:

Easy sharing, Slack integration is handy

Cons:

If you have an unstable internet connection, it just loses your video. No local copy. YOU HAD ONE JOB, LOOM. @%!@$

Kevin Isom

Such a great app on top of an amazing service.

Pros:

Easy to use and beautiful.

Cons:

Nothing yet

this is what i asked Santa for, I guess I'll need to ask for a new Christmas present! absolutely love Loom. have used it to walk Commaful users through so many things and show little tricks. I've used Loom to give instructions to people, demo things, and show bugs. It's incredible and the desktop version will make this even easier

@loganhale Thanks for the kind words! Gif recording is one of our most asked for features, feel free to give that an upvote here on our public roadmap: https://trello.com/b/hQEJSVSQ/lo... In terms of your request, of video previews, this is a little different and very interested to hear more about that. Is there an example of one you might be able to point me in the direction of? Would love to learn more about how you envision it.

Wahoo! The chrome extension kicks ass so I can't wait to try Loom for desktop. Keep on cranking guys!

Before Loom, sharing a video of a product bug was a daunting tasks. You would need to either use Quicktime on Mac or some other complicated software to record your screen (maybe if your lucky the audio would work) and that would give you a big old 500+ MB video file for a decent sized video. At this point you lose faith since you need to share this and it's not getting any smaller even if you try all the compression tricks. You end up uploading it for a half hour to G Drive and send a link to your co-worker... Now you can literally click the Chrome extension, click start, record and then share. DONE.

Pros:

It just works and the sharing and commenting functionalities are flawless.

Cons:

Sometimes there are bugs when recording on Chrome but this might have been resolved with the new releases.

Best video screen sharing tool ever. I can't wait for the desktop version.

Can’t live without Loom! Especially now that the desktop app is out and has more features.

Pros:

The simplest way to record quick videos and share them with your team. It works better than any other solution with no hassles.

Cons:

I create more videos than ever because of Loom so it’s possible that my remote team gets to see my my early morning messy hair.
