Huh? 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.

With 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.

After 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.

it 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.
