The Loom alternative for Windows.
Loom: Record and share a message, in the cloud. Sceed is a screen recorder and editor for Windows 10 and 11 that finishes the video for you. It records without the cursor and draws a smooth one back, eases zooms in and out where you place them, adds a camera look, a frame and a background, and exports 4K at 60 fps straight to disk. Nothing is uploaded.
Loom is a quick way to record yourself and your screen and send a link. It runs on Windows, Mac, the browser and phones, and every video is hosted on Loom. It is built for the async message, not for a finished video.
Why people switch
- You want the cursor, zooms and camera to look produced without editing.
- The recording must stay on your machine.
- You want a file to drop into docs, decks, a changelog or YouTube.
What you would give up
- You want a link to send within a minute of stopping.
- Your team already watches, comments and reacts inside Loom.
- You need to record from a phone or a browser tab.

Questions
- Can Sceed share a link like Loom?
- No. Sceed writes an MP4 to your disk. Upload it wherever your team already watches video, or attach it directly.
- Does Loom edit the cursor after recording?
- No. Loom keeps the cursor as it was captured. Sceed records without the cursor and draws its own, so it can be smoothed, restyled or hidden later.
- Is Sceed free?
- There is a free plan, and Pro is $25 a month or $115 a year. Loom has a free tier with limits and paid subscriptions.
