Loom replaces meetings with recordings, and the written description decides if anyone watches. Typally puts your words into Loom the moment you release the key, in whichever field you left the cursor.
This is a vendor guide from the makers of Typally. Anything we say about Loom is worth verifying — third-party features change without notice.Automatic transcription of your recording, plus AI-generated titles and summaries in some plans.
A five-minute video with no description is a five-minute commitment nobody makes. The title and description are what turn a recording into something people click, and they are written after the recording when enthusiasm has run out.
In practice people use it for: Video titles and descriptions, follow-up written summaries, comment replies, and the message the video is embedded in.
Nothing changes inside Loom itself. Typally sits in the tray and types into the focused window:
Windows or macOS build, signed in once.
The cursor position is the whole instruction — Loom routes the keystrokes from there.
Say the whole thought, then let go. No time limit.
Loom transcribes the recording, not what you type. The description is still yours to write.
Typally handles the writing around the recording — the title, the description and the message you embed it in. Loom transcribes the video itself, but the description is what decides whether anyone presses play, and it is written after the recording when the enthusiasm has gone.
Someone whose Looms were going unwatched starts adding two spoken lines saying what the video covers and what decision they need. Watch rates change immediately, because colleagues can tell whether it concerns them.
Say what the video covers and what you need from the viewer, in the message around it. Even a transcribed video needs a reason to press play.

Yes, it transcribes the recording, and some plans generate titles and summaries. That is separate from writing the description or the message around it.
The transcript is inside the video. The description is what makes someone open it in the first place.
Yes — comments are ordinary text fields.
The free plan gives you 100 minutes a month without a card — enough to find out whether talking beats typing for you.
