Early stage companies are not given a pass here.</p><p>Here at Loom, we dipped our toes into the integrations pool when we launched the <a class="text-blurple hover:text-purple-hover cursor-pointer pb-1 underline thd-focus-thin" href="https://www.producthunt.com/products/loom" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Loom GMail Integration</a> in Jan of 2017.

We went digging for the root issues of team communication workflow users were asking us to solve. The solution that manifested in our users heads was a Slack Integration. But what were they really trying to solve for?</p><div><h2 class="text-2xl md:text-4xl tracking-tighter font-medium text-thd-color-grey-80 mt-64 " style="scroll-margin-top:32px" id="real-work-communication-problems-that-needed-to-be-solved">Real work communication problems that needed to be solved</h2></div><p>After talking to dozens of individuals we could see were recording Looms and sharing within Slack <i>(THANK YOU TO ALL WHO GAVE THEIR TIME AND FEEDBACK),</i> we started to identify themes of why Loom was chosen for certain communication reasons. And the problems that recording and sharing a Loom subsequently created.</p><p>Loom allows you to easily capture your screen, voice, and face to create instantly shareable videos for work. Which is a different type of work communication than Slack offers. Loom helps provide clarity with a human touch. The unique differentiation is why individuals opt to record a Loom for real time complex situations instead of typing up a Slack message. Also, there were “evergreen” Looms that would be used for new employee onboarding so the new folk could revisit the video as they ramped onto the team and workflows.</p><p>That is where solving for one problem starts another. When team communication starts to occur in multiple places it causes fragmentation. Also, with the blazingly fast pace at which communication happens these days, even clicking on a link to watch a contextually relevant video in another web experience can seem inefficient for the receiver of the Loom.</p><div><h2 class="text-2xl md:text-4xl tracking-tighter font-medium text-thd-color-grey-80 mt-64 " style="scroll-margin-top:32px" id="the-problem-with-solving-loom-slack-user-problems">The problem with solving Loom <> Slack user problems</h2></div><p>After uncovering that teams on Slack felt like some of their conversations were fragmented and inefficient by leaving the Slack app to watch Looms on our website, it was relatively obvious what had to happen.</p><p>The Loom team kicked off our own inefficiency busting product cycles. We wanted to enable 1-Click #channel and @directmessage sharing. Easy. We also wanted to layer timestamp @mentions in comments to allow recorders and viewers to call attention to specific points in Loom videos utilizing Slack usernames. Cake. Things were moving right along on our end.</p><figure><img alt="Starting Slack integration" loading="lazy" width="344" height="314" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="rounded-md mx-auto" style="color:transparent" srcSet="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm1px4cv57vle%2F6BsQP03eM4aELcc6cJ6BPy%2Fd4dc597b10f93bc78eb36de6c76a3e6d%2Fstarting_slack_integration.gif&w=384&q=75 1x, /_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm1px4cv57vle%2F6BsQP03eM4aELcc6cJ6BPy%2Fd4dc597b10f93bc78eb36de6c76a3e6d%2Fstarting_slack_integration.gif&w=750&q=75 2x" src="/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm1px4cv57vle%2F6BsQP03eM4aELcc6cJ6BPy%2Fd4dc597b10f93bc78eb36de6c76a3e6d%2Fstarting_slack_integration.gif&w=750&q=75"/><figcaption class="lm-blog-headline-xs-alt text-center mt-12">What we ended up with.

In our day-to-day personal lives we’re constantly communicating with video (FaceTime, Instagram, SnapChat, etc) but at work we’re still stuck typing words. We believe there is a huge opportunity for Loom to continue to enhance work communication within the Slack experience by bringing the richness of video communication to Slack.</p><p>We want to make your work communication more personal with the nuances of tone and facial expression. A true human touch matched with the efficiency of day-to-day work communication in Slack. We have some very interesting ideas on how to continue evolving this experience.</p><div><h2 class="text-2xl md:text-4xl tracking-tighter font-medium text-thd-color-grey-80 mt-64 " style="scroll-margin-top:32px" id="but-first-thoughts-comments-feedback">But first thoughts, comments, feedback?</h2></div><p>What do you think?
