Video Library - Descript to replace Loom functionality
H
Heidi Wruck
Can we please have a video library so I can completely replace Loom with Descript!
The ease of Loom is the self-recording and the auto processing of the videos. But Loom is falling behind with API and Ai functionality.
Currently I am recording my meetings and videos with Fathom, Loom and Zoom cloud recording which I then manually import into Descript. This is an overkill, but each of these systems holds a separate purpose. I would love it if Descript could replace at a minimum Loom, and also auto-import when the Zoom recording is complete. Then I could completely remove Fathom, and Zap the Ai Summary from Zoom into my meeting follow up email template.
C'mon team! Lets make this easy! I'd happily pay double what I'm paying now if I could streamline post meeting followup functionality into one place.

Thanks for the feedback, Heidi! We do have an import from zoom integration. Have you tried using that?
What about Loom's video library would you like to see in Descript? The more detail the better so I can pass your request off to the team. Thanks again!

Marketing Team You got a minute!?!
Yes as I mentioned in my OP I manually import several videos per day from Zoom Cloud into Descript. It's incredibly helpful and I can't wait until it can be automated e.g. when a cloud recording is avaliable, automatically import into Descript.
Functionality I would love in order for Descript to buy me completely from Loom:
Bulk upload videos - not go into the same project
To have a Descript App that I can automatically self-record and autoupload and have it auto generate a link. This is a great feature of Loom, because it means I can open the app, record a video for my team, it generates a link automatically (editing can come later if I can be bothered) and the video is ready to share. It helps enormously with team communications.
Being able to organise my recordings into folders, e.g so I can hold all meetings with my team in one folder, SOP recordings in another folder (which I embed into my clickup) all meetings with a particular client in another folder.
Bulk publish videos (because video's aren't automatically published - though this would be amazing)
Replacing the thumbnail with an image - I have a template in Canva where I can update the meeting details as I wish, and the thumbnail is branded... no more funny stills of me with my eyes half open and my mouth drooping as I'm about to say something, and
thats
the thumbnail the system chooses!
