- Spivak 3y agoHuh? Click button, record video, "file" appears in the bottom corner of the screen, drag that into Slack or the Github editor, done. I would be worried about the links expiring, is Loom really hosting arbitrary unlimited sized video content forever for $12/mo? Damn, it's a good thing they got bought.
- carstenhag 3y agoWith loom you can edit it quite easily. I currently use Kap (on MacOS). Tool quality it not as good as Loom. Needs more maintainers I guess. For me, something like Loom without the online-first approach would be nice. It doesn't exist. I searched. Screenshot tools are a solved problem, screen capturing isn't.
- jazzyjackson 3y agoAfter a screengrab with quicktime you just > edit > trim and then save as. Transcripting audio and summarizing would be nice creature comforts but I'm in the "billion dollars for what now?" camp.
- da39a3ee 3y agoit sounds like they're hosting it for 1 month for $12. You never know when the company will decide to delete old videos from non-subscribers.
- xctr94 3y agomacOS doesn’t record video well at all. QuickTime is the vehicle for it, often crashing, or not stopping the recording. It’s been like that for years. I don’t use Loom, but I’d never ever recommend trying to record your screen on macOS using QT.
