The default for async video updates at work: record your screen, send a link, skip the meeting.
What it is
Loom (part of Atlassian) records your screen and camera and shares videos as links, with transcripts in 50+ languages and Loom AI for titles, summaries, chapters, meeting notes and filler-word removal. Plans: Starter free (25 videos per person, 5-minute screen recordings, unlimited meeting length), Business $18 per user a month, Business + AI $24 per user a month (about 17% less billed yearly), and Enterprise. Checked November 2026.

Alternatives and head-to-heads
Best Loom alternatives
The best Loom alternative is Descript, which records your screen and camera and lets you edit the result by editing the transcript. Vidyard is best for sales teams that need viewer analytics, HeyGen when you would rather not be on camera at all, Synthesia for training videos at scale, and Fireflies.ai if you mostly used Loom to record meetings.
