Why Loom?

• Looms videos are ideal for rich asynchronous communication. You can provide more context than in a simple Slack message or email. Scheduling a call is helpful for discussion, but for brief updates this is an excellent alternative.
• Verbalizing something and sharing your screen is often better, especially compared to typing out a long-winded message.
• It’s very easy to use. You can download the desktop app or use it directly in your browser.
• Videos can enhance your written communication. Use it alongside tools like Notion and Slack to add more context to your written communication.
