I would like to plug Loom as well as a way to create asynchronous video messages. You can record anything with it (even meetings or presentations). We currently power over 52,000 companies around the world and our tool is free for education forever. No strings attached.

I LOVE Loom and am a paying customer.

But your current versions have one critical flaw: you'll lose data if you're on a spotty internet connection. After a month of having to email your support to "restore my videos" I just gave up and switched to using OBS and Dropbox to share these videos.

I love, love your product. But without a more reliable upload (or being able to access my recording locally) it's too big of a gamble to use on a regular basis.

Any chance fixing this (for spotty connection folks) is on the roadmap? I'd be fine if I could just upload my own videos as well.

In any case I (almost) love your product. I expect you'll be really, really big. It's a good experience overall (when it works).


Last I tried it, it didn't work on Firefox, and was somewhat unstable.

Too bad, really. Loom seemed nice.


And you DIDN'T finish your pitch with "Ask me about LOOM"?
