How to use Loom to improve communication
Learn about Loom and why it's such a great tool to incorporate into your workflow.
What is Loom
Loom is a video messaging tool that helps you get your message across through instantly shareable videos. With Loom, you can record your camera, microphone, and desktop simultaneously. Your video is then instantly available to share through Loom's patented technology.
Why we think it's awesome
Loom is a great tool for communicating with your colleagues/clients. It allows for more detail than an email or other types of written messages. Since it records your screen, it also allows you to visually walk your audience through what you're talking about. As a result, your team can communicate asynchronously more effectively than ever.

Best Practices
General guidelines for Loom
- Keep your videos short and sweet. It's easier for audiences to absorb information if it's succinct. Try to keep your Looms around a minute long or less, unless you have a big project to outline.
- Make sure your desktop doesn't include any private or confidential information that your audience shouldn't see.
- Let Loom record your desktop and with your camera. Not only is your non-verbal communication helpful for audiences, you can use hand gestures to illustrate your points.
