Great, more potential clients to sell Jira to :(

#62$1.5B for a screen recorder
And the infrastructure around storing and distributing those videos. Along with existing integrations into other enterprise software (like confluence, jira, and zoom) The compliance work for storing and distributing this data is already done. The staff of experts that don’t need to be sourced by recruiters. The new ability to prevent sites like Monday from integrating with it. Not to mention the existing loom custome…
It’s ok if it’s just a screen recorder.
Creating a video service where uploading the video includes next to no waiting is not trivial.
That would be hard enough to build at this scale for the OP and most people.
There hasn’t been one like it before.

#64$1.5B for a screen recorder
Let me guess, you could build it in a weekend? It's obviously more than about the video recording tech. Compliance, team permissions, sales, enterprise contracts and making it work on all devices are not trival.
Most recently there was a bombshell around being able to record a tab with some new security features making it much harder.

#65975M for what the company does seems awfully high imo. But nice exit all things considered for the Loom folks and their investors.
companies are generally valued based on their revenue and user base rather than their product it is true that $975M is too high a price for a screen recorder when they could have bought a licence to Cleanshot for $19
Neat.
Does cleanshot auto upload and process the video as well?

#66Can they acquire Asana and merge it with Jira so that I can dislike one project management tool instead of two?
If you have influence on what tools you use at your place of work, then consider trying https://www.shortcut.com/. It's UX is IMO fantastic (and it's UI is fast) while being a lot more full-featured than something like Trello.
(not associated with the company - just a happy customer who feels like they ought to be more widely known than they seem to be)

#67Who is asking for this? As Atlassian consolidates Loom into its platform, engineers will soon be able to visually log issues in Jira, leaders will use videos to connect with employees at scale, sales teams will send tailored video updates to clients, and HR teams will onboard new employees with personalized welcome videos
Having users submit a bug by video is literally one of the biggest biggest cheat codes.
Have been using it for a very long time (I still miss Jing!)
There is no emailing back and forth meaninglessly. The user just records and talks about what they want to do and what hats happening.
The support side sees exactly how the user is doing it to make it instantaneous to replicate the issue.
There is no need for the user to give detailed screenshots and type up a whole scenario.

I wish people would just record a video and showing what is causing them a problem. It's better than writing "I'm trying to do x and it doesn't work". At least on a video I can see the exact error message, the view they are on which browser they are using etc. You can condition people to give you all this information but it's an uphill battle, so I'd rather just get it myself from the source if possible. I feel like…
My experience has been contrary to expecting developers to create videos (which is a good idea too). This approach of video first, and video tickets are prioritized has been my only approach for almost 15 years.
It started with Jing from Techsmith that had one key feature like loom - record and auto upload to the cloud and put the URL into your clipboard ready to paste into an email.
It’s surprising use of video in this way isn’t more ubiquitous.
Loom might actually be able to do the very thing you are saying it can’t. They have a few AI features that seems to auto generate a title and summary recently.

Reminds me of the infamous dropbox comment :)
Even after more than a decade, I still don't see what the "infamous dropbox comment" fundamentally gets wrong. 1. Why would I want to host my sensitive data on someone else's servers instead of my own servers and storage hardware? 2. Why shouldn't someone have a physical media backup for time-urgent, sensitive files? Last I was in school, if I had a final presentation, I would absolutely store it both on a hypothetic…
The answers to your questions are in relative market sizes. Yes, there are millions of people who agree with your two points. There are also millions of people who disagree. (The second set is likely much larger than the first point, but that doesn't matter.) Millions of people is frequently a market.

Is it easy to do on macOS if system sound is needed to demonstrate the bug?
There are dummy drivers which bypass that limitation when required. I didn't install them, since I never needed sound to demonstrate something.
Ok thanks. Still not as trivially easy as it should be then :(
