Rationale

Lightshot is primarily a screenshot tool, which aligns with the 'screen-recording' feature as it captures a static image of the screen. It also offers 'instant-shared-links' for screenshots and 'basic-video-editing' in the form of image editing tools for annotations. However, it lacks video recording capabilities, camera recording, and many of the advanced collaboration and analytics features that are central to Loom's asynchronous video communication platform.
