RedactPro vs Loom — they're not the same tool.

A common confusion: people install Loom expecting it to blur their dashboard during a screen recording. It doesn't — Loom only blurs your webcam feed. Here's what each tool actually does.

Loom

Async video communication — record yourself, share a link, recipient watches at 2x.

Records your screen and webcam
Blurs your webcam background (your face / room)
Auto-transcribes the recording
Hosts the video on shareable URL
Has timestamped comments and reactions
Does not blur the screen content you're sharing
Does not auto-detect or hide sensitive info

RedactPro

Browser-extension redaction — hide info on the page before recording starts.

Blurs / pixelates / redacts any element on a webpage
Auto-detects 11 sensitive patterns (Pro)
Drag-region selection for arbitrary areas
Works inside any tool that records your screen — including Loom
Does not record video
Does not host or share videos
Does not blur webcam feeds

Use them together

The natural workflow: RedactPro hides the dashboard data, then Loom records the screen. Five seconds of RedactPro before you start the Loom save you re-recording later when you spot a customer email visible at minute 2:14.

If you're a Loom user, this is the bug you've hit

You record a 10-minute Loom of your product walkthrough. Send it to the prospect. Two weeks later, you watch it back and realize the recently-viewed sidebar in your CRM had another customer's name visible the whole time.

Loom won't help. It blurs faces, not screens. RedactPro is the missing piece.
