Rationale
Descript is a strong match for Loom's core functionality, offering screen and camera recording, and robust video editing capabilities. While it emphasizes text-based editing and AI features more heavily than Loom, it directly competes in the asynchronous video communication space by enabling easy creation and sharing of video content. It also offers many of the 'other' features, such as team collaboration, custom branding, and enterprise-level security.
