Quick answer

If Loom's free limits (5-minute recordings, 25 videos at the time of writing) slow you down, rmvbg's Chrome screen recorder is an affordable alternative: record a tab, window or screen with camera and mic, auto-edit with subtitles, zooms and privacy blur, then share a private link with comments. Recording is part of rmvbg Pro at $3/month or ৳199.

Loom's free plan at the time of writing

Loom's Starter plan includes up to 25 videos per person and a 5-minute limit per recording; longer videos need a paid plan. That is fine for quick replies, but tutorials, demos and product walkthroughs often run longer.

What rmvbg's recorder does

  • Record a tab, a window or the whole screen, with your camera bubble and microphone.
  • Choose the shape before you record: YouTube 16:9, Shorts/Reels 9:16, square or 4:5.
  • Press M to mark moments — they become YouTube chapters.
  • Auto edit in Studio: cut pauses, add subtitles, auto zoom and blur emails or phone numbers.
  • Share a private, expiring link where viewers leave timed comments.
