🤔 What's Loom?

Loom is a tool used for asynchronous video communication. From short messages and quick show and tell videos, to longer tutorials and presentations, Loom is an extremely easy-to-use and versatile tool that helps us communicate better—while adding a personal touch to what we are trying to convey.

🔧 What we use Loom for

• Sending status updates
• Daily standups
• Product demo videos
• Quick tutorials
• “How-to” videos and explainers
• Sharing ideas with others
• Presenting project updates to others

🙌 Why is Loom great?

• Looms videos are ideal for rich asynchronous communication. In a Loom video, you can provide more context than in a simple Slack message or email. Scheduling a sync call is helpful for live feedback and discussion, but for brief updates, Loom is an excellent alternative.
• Verbalizing something and sharing your screen is often better, especially compared to typing out a long-winded message. And we don't always need the other person to respond immediately on the topic.

• Loom is extremely easy and quick to use. You can download the desktop app or use it directly in your browser.
• Loom can enhance your written communication. Use it alongside tools like Notion and Asana to add more context to your content or status update.
