Loom is the most popular screen recording tool for async communication. Loom AI automatically generates titles, summaries, transcripts, and chapters for each video. It is suitable for replacing meetings and for asynchronous instructions.
Draft a Brief Script Before Recording
Write down the key points to ensure the video is coherent and not rambling.
Write 3-5 bullet points of the main content to present in the video on a notepad or paper.
Videos under 5 minutes tend to keep viewers engaged better than longer videos.
Record Screen with Webcam
Use the Loom extension or app to record screen actions with the speaker's image.
Open Loom, select 'Screen + Cam', choose the window or tab to record, click Start Recording, and present according to the script.
Turning on the webcam helps the video feel personal and increases trust with the viewers.
Let Loom AI Automatically Create Summaries and Chapters
After stopping the recording, allow the AI to process and automatically create a transcript and summary.
After the upload is complete, go to the 'AI Notes' section and wait for Loom to generate the summary and chapter divisions for the video.
Check and edit the chapter titles if the AI names them unclearly.
Quick Edit Before Sharing
Trim unnecessary segments or small mistakes without needing to re-record from scratch.
Use the Trim tool to cut off any excess at the beginning or end, and use the remove filler words and silences feature if present.
Perfection isn’t necessary - Loom videos focus on practicality, being quick and straightforward rather than overly polished.
Organize and Share by Folders
Arrange videos into folders by topic for easier retrieval in the future.
Create folders in Loom, for example Onboarding, Products, Internal Processes, and move the videos into the correct folder.
Pin the most important videos to the top of the folder for faster team access.

Pros
Cons
A small SaaS is receiving many repeated questions from new customers about how to use the basic features of the product.
Problem
Explaining via email or calling each customer takes 20-30 minutes each time and is inconsistent among staff.
Solution
Use Loom to record instructional videos with AI summarizing and creating chapters, sending the link for customers to review anytime.
A design agency collaborates with multiple freelancers across different time zones, making it difficult to organize regular in-person meetings.
Problem
Writing lengthy status reports makes it hard to convey the visual context of the designs being worked on.
Solution
Use Loom to record screen reviews of designs with voice explanations, and AI automatically generates a transcript for members to quickly read back.
