Loom (asynchronous video updates)

Loom (Atlassian) Freemium Beginner

When a developer needs to walk you through a feature but you are twelve hours apart, a short recorded screen video does what a live demo would, on your own time. Loom lets your team record a two-minute walkthrough of what they shipped this week, which is far more honest than a written status line. Use it for async demos and reviews so the working software is visible even when nobody is online together.

  • Record short video demos instead of scheduling live ones
  • A screen walkthrough shows real progress, not claims
  • Reviews and feedback move async without losing nuance

It answers 2 questions

  1. How do I run a weekly ship cadence when I am non-technical and depend on a dev agency or freelancers?
  2. How do I keep an offshore or remote dev team accountable across time zones?
