Loom Integration

In Upwork Messages.

What's the use?

Communication is the key to a successful project, happy clients, and growing profits. That is why it makes us happy Upwork tries to make communication easier on the platform with its new update. For over a month Upwork has been testing Loom integration. And starting November 9th all freelancers and clients can use Loom in their messages. It allows you to record the 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.

Why Loom integration is cool:

  • It’s flexible. You can choose the recording that works for you: record your (1) screen and camera, (2) screen only, or (3) camera only.

  • You can edit or even delete the recording and start over. Which is a precious chance you don’t get in live meetings.

  • You don’t need to stay up late to catch the other person’s time zone if you need to show or explain something.

  • There is no limit to the recording length or the number of recordings if you’re signed into your own Loom account even if you have a free Loom account (while free Loom accounts typically contain limitations).

  • On the receiving end you can replay, pause, or back up the recording to make sure you get the message right and remind yourself of the details later.

❗️One thing to note is that Loom integration in Messages is only available when using Chrome or Edge as your browser. It doesn't work with Desktop or Mobile Apps.
