The quick verdict
Does this need a video, a conversation, or both?
Loom is a strong fit when someone needs to watch an explanation on their own schedule. VirtualStation has Video Messages for that too, and adds a place to meet, discuss the work, and manage what happens after the conversation.
Both: video messages
Record your screen and camera for teammates who watch later. In VirtualStation that is Video Messages.
VirtualStation: work it out live
Find teammates in the office for a call, screen share, or whiteboard session.
VirtualStation: own the next step
Keep the transcript, AI notes, tasks, and team chat beside the meeting.

Choose the right conversation
Some updates need a watch. Some need a whiteboard.
Match the way you communicate to the work in front of you.
01 / Explain
Let people absorb the detail.
Loom is designed for recorded walkthroughs and async video messages, with editing and AI tools. In VirtualStation, record a Video Message for a walkthrough, and keep the transcript and AI notes of every meeting so anyone who missed it can catch up.

02 / Decide
Bring the right people into the room.
When feedback turns into a discussion, VirtualStation gives your team a shared place to meet. Talk through a design, share your screen, or use a whiteboard to explore the options together.

03 / Act
Keep the action beside the conversation.
A video can explain the problem; the team still needs an owner and a next step. VirtualStation combines chat, projects, tasks, and meeting summaries so follow-up has a home in the same workspace.

FAQ
VirtualStation vs Loom, answered
Still deciding? Our team is happy to help you compare.
Talk to usIs VirtualStation the same kind of tool as Loom?
No. Loom is built for async video, and it can record and summarise meetings held in other tools. VirtualStation is where the meeting happens, next to your chat, projects and team.
Can teammates catch up after a VirtualStation meeting?
Yes. Every meeting can keep a transcript and AI notes. For a walkthrough people watch later, record a Video Message.
Does this mean every update should become a meeting?
No. Use chat or a Video Message for updates and live conversation when discussion will help. Loom can remain useful for edited walkthroughs that people watch at different times.
Can we bring our Loom video library across?
There is no direct importer from Loom yet. We help you plan the move.
