Loom vs Vidyard for Product Teams (2026)
Loom and Vidyard both provide screen and webcam recording, but they serve different audiences. Loom is built for internal team communication: async product walkthroughs, bug reports, and spec reviews. Vidyard is built for customer-facing video: sales outreach, onboarding, and marketing content.
Product teams increasingly use both — Loom internally for specs and feedback, Vidyard for customer-facing demos and onboarding.
