Rationale

Whereby offers video conferencing solutions, primarily for live meetings, but also has an 'Embedded' product that allows integration of video calls into other applications. While it offers screen sharing, recording (cloud and local), and transcription, its core offering is synchronous video calls rather than asynchronous video messaging like Loom. It does not explicitly mention camera-only recording for asynchronous messages or a dedicated 'team library' for organizing such videos. However, it does have features like screen sharing, cloud recording, local recording, transcriptions, custom branding, password protection (locked rooms), security compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001), API access, emoji reactions, and chat (which can be seen as a form of commenting). The 'basic video editing' is inferred from the ability to record and transcribe, but not explicitly stated as trimming or cutting within their interface for recorded videos.
