Loom – Screen and Cam Recorder

What Loom for Android is used for

Loom for Android is a screen and camera recorder for short videos that you send to other people instead of writing an email. The listing points to product demos, feedback on work, and quick updates as typical uses. It is aimed at people who work in teams and want to pass on an explanation in video form.

The listing says more than 14 million people at 200,000 companies use the service, and it names HubSpot, Atlassian and Netflix among them. Those figures and names come from the developer's own listing.

Recording your screen and camera

A single tap starts a recording of your screen, your camera, or both. The listing describes this as the core action of the app, so you can capture a walkthrough of an app or a page without setting up a longer session. Recordings made this way are what you then share or save.

Sharing recordings as links and getting feedback

Once a recording is made, you can share it with a link. The listing presents this as the quick step that follows recording, which is the reason the app exists. Viewers can add time-stamped comments and reactions to the video at the point they mean, so feedback stays tied to the moment in the clip it refers to.

Collaboration with your team is built around these shared videos. The listing describes reviewing and replying to asynchronous video as the main way people use the service together.

Saving videos to your device

Recordings you make can also be saved to your device, so you keep a copy outside the shared link. The listing mentions this alongside sharing, as a separate option you can use for any video you have recorded.
