We received this note from Slack Fund:We’re thrilled to bring this Slack Integration to the new and incoming Loom users! It was there because There are tens of thousands of users recording and viewing Looms every single day.

The integration just makes sense and we’re thanking our lucky stars we got to work with an amazing Slack crew. We wanted to enable 1-Click #channel and @directmessage sharing. Which isn't very scalable and highly variable from employee to employee.
How do you use Loom? The entire team was cautiously optimistic.And then the day arrived. Watch bio from Joe Thomas. It also is so much faster than typing up paragraphs with screenshots.Almost the exact same as above. How can we improve the Slack <> Loom experience? That's The One.

Thanks to amazing products like Slack, Zapier, and Segment the general market has evolved to not only requests integrations, but demand those integrations as a critical component to successful products. If you were to walk away with anything, I hope that it's an understanding of how an executive and founder at Loom uses quick videos day-to-day.
Also, with the blazingly fast pace at which communication happens these days, even clicking on a link to watch a contextually relevant video in another web experience can seem inefficient for the receiver of the Loom.After uncovering that teams on Slack felt like some of their conversations were fragmented and inefficient by leaving the Slack app to watch Looms on our website, it was relatively obvious what had to happen.The Loom team kicked off our own inefficiency busting product cycles. When team communication starts to occur in multiple places it causes fragmentation. The Loom team is generally great at this, but a Loom itself is an incredible way to be more expressive and build a human connection with each other.I hope this was informative and actionable.
The other two: YouTube and Vimeo.
Ultimately, it has enabled our team to be in sync and to scale faster than we would have been able to without it. We went digging for the root issues of team communication workflow users were asking us to solve. Here at Loom, we dipped our toes into the integrations pool when we launched the Loom GMail Integration in … I love to pull up LinkedIn profiles or other digital representations of folks and do a brief intro of the two via Loom. The unique differentiation is why individuals opt to record a Loom for real time complex situations instead of typing up a Slack message. But what were they really trying to solve for?After talking to dozens of individuals we could see were recording Looms and sharing within Slack Loom allows you to easily capture your screen, voice, and face to create instantly shareable videos for work. VP of Engineering.
Sorry for the dramatic build up.To build an integration just because the entity is an investor is never a good product building practice. As a co-founder and CEO of Loom, I often get asked how we leverage the tool on our own team. Try Loom for free. No back and forth. At my previous company I used to spend entire evenings trying to explain the nuanced connections in data across various charts and dashboards which would end up requiring a meeting anyways.
We’ve learned so much from you during our time as Opentest, especially after launching Openvid as an experiment back in late June.
