New Loom Integration in Messages Makes Communication Easier
We’d like to share a new integration being added in Upwork Messages, it’s called Loom. It’s a tool that allows users to record their screen and add a voice-over in the recording. You can quickly send recordings to others in Upwork Messages to make sharing work and collaborating easier. We’ll be slowly rolling this feature out to all users, so if you don’t see it yet, know that we are working on it! Many of you are already familiar with Loom and have requested we add this integration. Even if you’re new to Loom, we think you’ll appreciate it as an efficient and engaging communication tool.
Why we love the new Loom integration
Sometimes it’s easier to communicate a message verbally, especially when dealing with complex projects, but we don’t always have the bandwidth or ability across time zones to meet. With Loom’s screen-recording video capability you can capture a screen recording and include a voice-over, making it easier to communicate a message about the work you’re doing. And you can do it directly in Upwork Messages - so freelancers and clients can more seamlessly collaborate on projects! It's free to use for all users in any membership plan.
As we roll this feature out, you’ll notice a “
Record with Loom” option displayed in the top of the room in Messages.
Choose the recording that works for you: (1) record your screen and camera, (2) screen only, or (3) or camera only (Tip: you’ll be asked to select camera and microphone).
• Once the recording starts, you can pause or delete
• To save, click “Stop”and copy the link provided into the message composer or use the “Insert recording” option to insert the recording to the message composer
• The recipient will be able to watch the video directly in the room or by opening it in a separate window
• Make sure you’re signed in to make edits to your recordings
• It's also possible to trim the recording for users who signed in to their Loom account
As added good news,
when using Loom in Upwork Messages, users will not be limited to the recording length or the number of recordings, even if they are signed in to their free Loom account (Free Loom accounts typically contain limitations).
Are you a Loom newbie or an experienced user? We’d love to hear from everyone as you use this new tool to learn about the ways it’s helped streamline your communication and enhance outcomes with project partners.
