This One Software Saves Me Hours Every Week | How to Download and Use Loom
The One Tool That Saved Us Hours of Meetings (and Boosted Team Communication)
If your coaching business is drowning in Slack threads, Zoom calls, and never-ending DMs, there’s a better way to communicate.
In this post, Chris Barry—former CEO of a $10M coaching company and founder of TD Coach—shares one of the most underrated tools that helped his team stay aligned, create better training, and save dozens of hours every week.
It’s called Loom.
What is Loom?
Loom is a video messaging software that lets you record your screen, your voice, and your face—all at once—and send it instantly via a shareable link.
No more:
Long explanation emails
Unnecessary Zoom calls
Confusing text instructions
Instead, you just hit “Record,” explain what you need to show or teach, and send a link. Done.
Why Loom Is a Game-Changer for Coaches
Chris explains the three main ways he uses Loom daily:
Internal Team Communication
Instead of scheduling a meeting, Chris records a quick walkthrough and shares it with his team—saving time and making sure everyone’s on the same page.Client Tutorials & Check-Ins
Want to show a client how to do something (like use a CRM)? Record a Loom. It feels personal, saves you time, and they can rewatch it.Content Creation
Loom isn’t just for ops. Chris even uses it to record training videos and YouTube content. It’s fast, simple, and doesn’t require a big setup.
“It’s not the flashiest tool—but it’s one of the most effective for getting stuff done faster.”
How to Get Started with Loom
Getting started with Loom takes less than 5 minutes. Here's how:

Real Examples of How Chris Uses Loom
Chris walks through actual scenarios where Loom saved time:
Creating a training video for how to add a phone number CTA on social media
Recording walkthroughs of client funnels or backend setups
Sending personalized updates to team members without jumping on calls
In one case, instead of writing a 500-word explanation, Chris showed exactly what to do in 60 seconds on Loom—and the task got done faster and more accurately.
Benefits of Using Loom
Faster communication with no back-and-forth
Visual clarity to avoid confusion
Asynchronous workflows (send videos without needing to align schedules)
Reusable content for training, onboarding, and FAQs

Will Loom Replace Zoom?
Not entirely. Chris still uses Zoom for calls that require live interaction.
But for everything else? Loom wins.
“If it can be said in a Loom, skip the meeting.”
