Rationale
Zoom, particularly through its 'Zoom Clips' feature, directly competes with Loom by offering asynchronous video recording and sharing capabilities. The website explicitly highlights features like screen and camera recording, editing, instant sharing, analytics, and a content library, which align perfectly with Loom's core value proposition and the provided feature list. Zoom also offers a direct comparison to Loom on its 'Clips' product page, further solidifying its direct competition in this specific product category.
