# Loom

> Quick screen and camera recording shared by link for async walkthroughs and updates.

Loom records your screen and camera and gives you a share link straight away. The free Starter plan limits recordings to 5 minutes and 25 videos per person. Paid plans are per user and add unlimited recording, branding removal and, on Business + AI, AI notes and editing. Loom is owned by Atlassian.

## Capabilities

| Capability | Fit | Plans | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Record screen walkthroughs (`screen-recording`) | native | all | Free Starter limits videos to 5 minutes and 25 per person |
| Edit videos (`video-editing`) | partial | business, business-ai, enterprise | Not a full video editor |
| Transcribe and summarise meetings (`meeting-transcription`) | partial | business-ai, enterprise | AI meeting features need Business + AI |
| Run an internal knowledge base / wiki (`knowledge-base`) | workaround | all | Video is hard to search and skim compared with written docs |
| Write documents and notes (`docs-notes`) | workaround | business-ai, enterprise | Generated documents need review |

## Why people pay for it

- Unlimited recording length and number of videos
- Removing Loom branding and downloading videos
- AI titles, summaries and meeting notes
- Viewer insights and integrations with Slack and Jira

## Reasons to keep paying

- Record-and-share link in seconds with no editing step
- Viewers can watch, comment and react with very little friction
- Existing libraries of shared walkthrough links embedded in docs and tickets

## Risks

- **functionality_loss** (medium): Shared links in docs and tickets stop working if the workspace is cancelled.
- **sensitive_data** (medium): Screen recordings often capture customer or internal data; review privacy settings.

Data portability: easy — Paid plans can download videos as MP4. Share links break if you leave, so embedded links must be replaced.
