Where to Download Loom and Review Its Features and Pricing

Updated

You can get Loom from loom.com by downloading the desktop app for Mac or PC, adding the Chrome extension, or installing the mobile app. The site presents the download as free ("Get Loom for free"), and the pricing page is reached through the "See all features" link at loom.com/pricing. The page does not list plan tiers or prices, so treat that link as the place to check current options rather than assuming what they include.

Download options

Loom describes three ways to record, and the right one depends on what you record most.

Option Best for What the page says
Mac desktop app Mac users who record often Rebuilt from the ground up to be lighter, faster, and smoother; captures 4K HD video, custom areas, and camera bubble shapes, filters, and backgrounds; an 80% lighter footprint
PC desktop app Windows users Listed alongside Mac as a free screen recorder download
Chrome extension Quick browser-based recording Named as one of the ways to record on any device
Mobile app Recording away from a computer Named as one of the ways to record on any device

The page's download buttons ("Download now," "Get Loom for free") are the entry points. If you are on a Mac and record frequently, the rebuilt Mac app is the version the site is actively promoting; the lighter footprint and auto-hiding toolbar are aimed at people who want polished recordings without fiddling with settings.

What you get once installed

The site frames Loom as more than a recorder, and the extra features are the reason to pick it over a bare screen capture tool:

  • Recording: screen and camera together, in a few clicks, on desktop, extension, or mobile.
  • Editing: trim, stitch clips, add backgrounds, and overlay text, arrows, and boxes.
  • Sharing: a share link (the page shows the loom.com/share/... format) plus embeds and integrations with tools including Google Workspace and Slack.
  • Collaboration: emojis, comments, tasks, and CTAs on videos, with transcripts and captions in 50+ languages.
  • Security for teams: SSO, SCIM, custom data retention policies, and privacy settings.

The page cites adoption of "millions of people across 400,000 companies," which is a signal of maturity rather than a feature you can test.

Checking features and pricing

The only pricing-related element on the page is the "See all features" link to loom.com/pricing. Because the page does not state plan names, limits, or prices, the practical step is:

  1. Open loom.com/pricing.
  2. Compare the plans on the dimensions that matter for your use: recording length or storage limits, editing features, collaboration and commenting, and admin controls such as SSO and SCIM.
  3. Match the plan to your situation — an individual making quick walkthroughs needs far less than a team that requires SSO and retention policies.

If security and admin controls are your deciding factor, confirm on the pricing page which tier includes SSO, SCIM, and custom retention, since the homepage lists them as enterprise-grade capabilities without tying them to a specific plan.

A quick way to evaluate it

Before committing, record one real task — for example, a two-minute walkthrough of a process you would otherwise explain in a long message — then edit it and share the link with a colleague. That single loop tests recording quality, the editor, and sharing in the context you would actually use them, which is more useful than comparing feature lists alone.
