This is definitelly a cool one :) My recommendation to all those who would like to find out more about Loom and learn some of the best practices when it comes to async and video communication 📽️

*Loom really helped me to work with teams that had endless meetings and demanded in-person workshops (which, IMO, wasted more time compared to actual benefits). Just a couple of days ago we discussed the next steps for one project and the question from the PM was

"So, should we organize a workshop or a meeting?"

and the client replied

"Nah, just send us a Loom and we'll take a look at it as soon as we can."

(was quite proud of myself as we switched from strictly in-person meetings to almost full async work in a bit more than a month 😄)

This is great, I love Loom. Such a great collaboration tool. I love that I can record a Loom to go along with comments in a Confluence doc rather than trying to explain it all in text!
