About Loom
Loom is an asynchronous video communication and screen-recording platform for workplace collaboration. It lets people record their screen, webcam and microphone together, then share the resulting video through an instantly generated link. Teams use it to explain products, share progress, provide feedback, support customers and communicate across distributed work schedules.
The platform combines recording, cloud hosting and collaboration tools. Its recording applications cover Chrome, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, while its editing features include trimming, clip stitching and background customization. Videos can be embedded in other applications, and viewers can respond with time-stamped comments and emoji reactions. Engagement analytics help creators understand how their recordings are being watched.
Video tools for teams
Loom's AI features generate transcriptions, titles, chapters, summaries and action items, helping teams turn recorded explanations into information they can revisit and use. Its Jira workflows also support drafting issues from video content. Loom HQ provides a centralized workspace video library for organizing and sharing recordings across a team.
For enterprise customers, the platform supports workspace access management, single sign-on, SCIM provisioning and role-based permissions. Its Record SDK and Embed SDK allow developers to incorporate recording and video playback into external applications. These capabilities serve software development, customer support, sales enablement, education and enterprise knowledge management.
Founded in 2015, the business began as Opentest, a user-testing service. After observing that customers were using its Chrome screen-recording extension to exchange updates and feedback, the company pivoted to asynchronous video communication and adopted the Loom name in June 2016.
Atlassian acquired the company in November 2023. Loom continues as a distinct brand and operating unit, serving standalone self-service and enterprise customers while integrating with Atlassian's collaboration platform. Connections with Jira, Confluence and Rovo bring video explanations, product demonstrations and summaries into the tools teams use to manage their work.
