Open source alternatives to Loom

Async video messaging with screen recording and AI summaries. · Atlassian, Inc.

Pricing: Free up to 25 videos; paid from $12.50/mo

Loom is the default 'async video' tool for remote teams. The open-source path is to use OBS Studio (recording) plus a self-hosted sharing primitive, or to deploy a self-hostable alternative. There is no mature 'Loom clone' on GitHub in 2026, so the practical open-source path is OBS for recording + Nextcloud Talk / Jitsi for sharing.
