Loom desktop app

Loom is a screen recording software. You can record your camera, microphone, and desktop simultaneously and then share your video through Loom’s patented technology. It’s designed to help facilitate workplace communication through video or screen recording. There is a Loom desktop app and a Chrome extension.

You don’t have to download Loom desktop app to use it in Sidekick. It’s easy as ABC: click Add Application, pick Loom, and log in with your current account.

We see the future of online work in using not desktop apps but web versions and integrating them into a browser. This gives you better control of your virtual work environment, saves your time, and helps to retain your focus. There are numerous advantages in fusing Loom and Sidekick compared to Loom desktop app.

• Memory-wise, integration with Sidekick is a better choice if your desktop app size is more than 100MB.
• Any document or tab launched in Chromium needs an isolated computing process to run. It leads to excessive memory consumption. Sidekick uses one framework to run similar processes. It significantly frees up computing power and takes multitasking to a new level.
• Save even more memory with Sidekick’s AI-based tab-suspender that analyzes and offloads unused tabs.

• You can access Loom directly from your Sidebar. It keeps Loom at your fingertips and your tab strip free of clutter while Loom desktop app consumes more resources.
• You can also access it by using a keyboard shortcut Option-N, where N is the position of Loom in your Sidebar.

Right-click on Loom icon and add as many accounts as you wish. You can be logged into all of your accounts at the same time or you can easily switch between them.

• Right-click on Loom icon to search through recent documents or to open our Global Search feature (Option-F) to search through all Loom documents.
• Type Loom in your search query to filter results. Open the file in a new tab or just copy a link, everything from one handy window.

Click Loom while holding Option key to open it in split view. Work with Loom and your other documents or apps side-by-side like never before.

Sidekick is compatible with all Chrome plug-ins and extends its capabilities to other applications.

Sessions is a great tool that helps you focus on a specific project, work-related or not. Now you can organize your documents and switch between different workspaces. Sessions eliminate tab-clutter and safeguard your attention.

Share your passwords securely with other users. Now you can give access to your Loom to colleagues and family without revealing your password. Now it works for registered Team members only but we are working to make it available to a wider audience.

Switch between your Loom and other tabs with CTRL-tab and save your mental resources for creative tasks.
