Product Hunt Daily - 😺 Zoom goes Loom

Not all meetings should be meetings. A calendar full to the brim of Zoom links can impact productivity, happiness and lead to burnout. Research also shows that excessive meetings are a cash drain. 

Since remote work became a fixture of society, makers and companies, have been trying to solve this with async tools. Now Zoom is embracing async. 

Zoom Clips is the company’s answer to Loom. It allows users to record, edit, and share short-form clips both internally and externally. It’s designed especially for those moments when you need to sync up but can’t align schedules. 

Zoom isn’t the first company to embrace async. Loom has been a staple in our own tech stack for years (so has Zoom), and we’ve collected a few more tools built by makers to help clear your schedule

• Minutes lets you replace long meetings with your voice and video instead

• Bubbles for Teams uses back-and-forth videos, screen recordings, and annotations to eliminate the need for meetings

• Tape promises to cut down on meetings by 40% by letting users quickly share interactive async videos.

• Meeting Cost Calculator shows you the real cost of meetings so you can think twice before putting something on the calendar.
