VIDYARD VS. LOOM

Free screen recording. See who watched, and know what to do next.

Loom gets you a quick recording. Vidyard gets you 4K free storage on every plan, AI-generated videos, and analytics that show who actually watched. Loom can only tell you if the viewer was already a Loom user.

Record in up to 4K on every plan, including free. Loom's free plan caps out at 720p.

Know who watched. Vidyard identifies every viewer. Loom only recognizes people who also use Loom.

Get 15 free AI-generated videos a month, on top of your recordings. Loom's free plan has no AI video creation.

WHY PEOPLE SWITCH FROM LOOM

More than a screen recorder

Recording is just the start, here's where Vidyard picks up.

One place for all your video metadata

Apply a default across a folder or customize individual videos as your content evolves.

Publish without changing your workflow

No additional setup or technical implementation. Just embed or share your videos as you normally would.

Give AI the context it needs

Vidyard automatically exposes your video's title, description, transcript, and tags as structured metadata.
