Why SDR teams choose Outvid over Loom
No recording, no friction
Loom requires you to record every video. Outvid's AI clone generates personalized videos automatically — you set it up once and scale infinitely.
Purpose-built for outbound
Loom is a general video tool. Outvid combines prospect research, script generation, video creation, email delivery, and analytics into one sales workflow.
True personalization, not just a name
Each Outvid video references the prospect's company, role, challenges, and recent news. Loom videos are the same for everyone unless you re-record.

Outvid vs Loom: what teams ask before switching
How does Outvid differ from Loom?+
Loom is built for screen recording and async work communication — it's general-purpose. Outvid is built specifically for outbound sales prospecting: AI clones, per-prospect script generation, prospect research, and email delivery.
Can I do screen recordings with Outvid?+
Outvid focuses on AI-generated face-to-camera videos for outreach, not screen recordings. If you need screen recording, keep Loom for that — they're complementary tools for different jobs.
Why would an SDR team move from Loom to Outvid?+
SDRs hit a wall with Loom: recording 50 personalised videos a day isn't feasible, so they fall back to a generic Loom for everyone — which kills the personalisation advantage. Outvid scales personalisation without the recording bottleneck.
Does Outvid have a Chrome extension like Loom?+
No. Outvid runs as a web app where you upload prospect lists and launch campaigns. The 'send a Loom' flow is replaced by 'campaign with auto-generated personalised videos' — fewer videos to record, more videos sent.
Can I send Outvid videos through my existing email tool?+
Yes. Outvid generates personalised video links per prospect that you can paste into any email — Outreach, Salesloft, Instantly, Lemlist, your inbox. Or use Outvid's native email sending.
