Hey Product Hunt folks! πŸ‘‹πŸ» We're thrilled to finally roll out an integration that has been requested by so many of you over the past year. We've worked closely with our friends over at Slack these past few months to make this happen and are excited that it's finally being made public :-) What we're rolling out with today: πŸ–₯ Easily share your Loom videos to Slack with just a few clicks ▢️ In-line video plays (only others are YouTube and Vimeo!!!) πŸ–Œ Newly revamped homepage πŸ‘€ Record videos with a custom avatar βœ… Seamless Onboarding experience It's been a fun ride. Loom has come a long way. And the Product Hunt community is one of the main reasons we're here today. Since our debut on Product Hunt 2 years ago this week, Loom now has over 600,000 users in 21,000+ cities around the world recording over half a million videos a month. Individuals use Loom to communicate internally (Team updates, Bug fixes, Design -> Eng handoffs, New employee onboarding, etc) and externally (Customer onboardings, Sales demos, Support tickets, etc). A big shout out to the Loom team for making this possible and to the Slack team for enabling Loom's users to be more successful directly in Slack. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and we'll respond to them throughout the day :) Upward and Onward πŸš€

@_shahedk Wow, you guys have done a ton since I first tried this out a year ago. This is perfect timing to rediscover the product because I'm updating my product demo and always dread cobbling it together in iMovie. When / how are you going to start charging? Will the current feature set always be free? To anyone that tried Loom when it first launched and didn't quite get hooked on it, give it another shot, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Loom + Slack, the major feature we've all been waiting for from Loom. Nice work team Loom =) If you aren't using Loom, why not?! It's faster than typing, it's free and it just got more awesome.

@susanacigano You're welcome, thanks for making Loom! we are even trying to get our customers to use it for our support instead of sending us screenshots, makes life easier

@carol_mc_keon do you know what makes my day? When our community tell us that they are spreading the word about Loom and asking their own customers to use quick videos 😍
Carol Mc Keon
@susanacigano well that's when you know you have something that people actually need and will actually use after the novelty has worn off eh?

Been using Loom for a long time now - use it all the time for recording videos for adding bug reports to github, invaluable!
Ian Russell
Maker
@scotty_bowler Probably the easiest way to describe bug reports. Using video is one of my favourite ways of distilling technical info! So happy you're loving it😊
Scott Bowler
@ian_russell Not sure if this is the best place to give feedback, but I never use the webcam and it's a HUGE pain to have to turn off the grey avatar in the bottom left corner every time I want to record a video.
Ian Russell

@scotty_bowler We're always happy to get feedback, where ever it may come from as it helps drive a better experience so thank you so much for sharing this. I'll be relaying this this directly to our team:) Completely understand the frustration here. Have you thought of adding a profile picture to replace the grey avatar - or would your preference be to not use it at all but have there be a toggle or something of the sort so if you turn it off you won't be have the grey avatar appear the next time you go to record?
Scott Bowler
@ian_russell Basically, it gets in the way. I don't need people to see my face when reporting bugs or doing a training video and it covers a significant part of the page. My suggestion would be to hide it if the webcam is turned off and allow people to turn it on, instead of forcing people to turn it off.

Loom is incredibly useful. We all now the impact a video can have but it was not even thinkable to use videos for daily and quick conversations. Loom managed to make it easy with a smart integration in our workflow. We don't use it super frequently yet but as the team is going to be more and more remote, it is a no brainer.

Pros:

Easy of use, integrated in our daily workflow, number of use cases,..

Cons:

A youtube integration would be great

David Aronica
I started using Loom to send short videos to our prospects to quickly demonstrate new and improved workflows. After some early results, the rest of my team caught on and now loves using Loom. This integration only makes its easier for us to share these videos and best practices!

Cons:

Dmitry Ra

I absolutely love loom! Saved me so much time recording video tutorials for my clients! Just click record and send a link after, record your voice and webcam if you want to. Before that I was recording with Quicktime player, then compressing videos, uploading them to Google drive, total hassle!

Pros:

Records available immediately, free of charge, ability to download videos

Cons:

Dependance on Google Chrome, but I have heard they want to create an independent app

Rick G.

As an early adopter and a user of this product, the team truly has made this product better with each iteration. They both responsive to feedback and have done a good job providing use cases to enhance HOW to use Loom over time. This Slack integration is a natural next step for Loom and as I would expect from the Loom team, it is very robust! Well done!

Pros:

Phenomenal recording quality, great support, ease of use, excellent UI

Cons:

None

I’ve been using Loom since their fIrst debut on PH. Love, love, love the ease of use and service. Inline gmail was amazing, inline Slack is almost better.

Loom delivers hands over fist value. I've used it for communicating with remote team members, feedback on design work, pitch presentations, recruiting efforts, and even communicating with family / friends. Slack integration is freaking epic, so excited to use. Great job Loom team!

Pros:

Fantastic for remote teams / clients, simple to use, and saves you (a TON) time.

Cons:

None. I want to pay for this service but I cannot.
