> Reel does exactly what I wanted Loom to do: I can record my camera, I can move it around, and I get to trim the video after it’s done (I don’t remember being able to do that with Loom).

But that’s not what Loom is about.

It’s about streaming the video.

Before:

Capture something with likes of quicktime.

Transcode it so that it doesn’t take a few gigabytes. This takes considerable time and resources (though OBS can do it while recording, not after).

Upload somewhere to share. Wait while it is uploading.

Loom takes care of all those steps so when you press stop you can immediately share the link with someone.

Hope other use-cases in the article are not as misrepresented as this one

Loom does also have a trim and edit after recording feature, I use it all the time
