Rationale
Descript offers robust screen and camera recording capabilities, instant sharing via links, and extensive video editing features. It also provides auto-generated transcripts, collaboration tools (shared folders, comments), and enterprise-level security and compliance, aligning well with the 'must-have' and several 'other' features. While it doesn't explicitly mention 'viewer analytics' in the same way Loom does, its focus on team collaboration and sharing implies a similar intent for tracking engagement within a team context. The 'Custom Branding' is inferred from the ability to customize published pages with drive name and logo, and 'Team Library' from shared folders and collaboration features.
