The best bug report is a thirty-second recording. The best onboarding is a two-minute walkthrough. Clips is built for the minute between "let me show you" and the link in the chat.
Record
Pick Clips in the launcher, or say "record my screen to show this bug". Choose a source: screen, window, tab, a region, or the camera, with microphone and system audio. Shape the camera bubble, put it in a corner, mirror it or blur the background. Set a countdown, a time limit, sound cues, push-to-talk or cursor tracking.
While recording, annotate: pen, highlighter, arrow, shapes, text, blur-out and zoom. Point at the thing instead of describing it.
Review
Stop, and the review screen opens. Give the take a title. Trim it. Convert to MP4, make a GIF, extract the audio, burn in captions generated by Whisper. Save to the library.
Share
Every take in the Library has a share link that is valid for seven days and refreshed each time you open the library. Search, play, copy the link, download, open in Canvas for a real edit, or delete. Unsaved results wait in a This session group.
Import
Paste a public Loom share link, an embed link or a bare ID, and it is converted to MP4 and saved under its Loom title. That is also how you download a Loom video. Upload MP4, WebM or MOV files the same way.
You will not lose a take
Switching tabs with an unsaved take prompts you. Closing or reloading triggers the browser warning. Uploads you never filed are offered back at the top of the page on your next visit, for up to seven days.
From chat
- "List my latest recordings with their links."
- "Trim my latest recording to the first 30 seconds and give me the new link."
- "Import this Loom video into my library as an MP4."
- "Burn captions into the recording I made this morning."
