A free Loom alternative with no 5-minute limit

Scrolvo's screen recorder is free, needs no account to record and has no limit on how many videos you make or how long they are. It records your screen with your microphone and a webcam bubble and keeps the video on your computer. Cut it, add captions and download it as MP4 for free, or share it as a link where viewers can comment and react, free with an account. Loom's free Starter plan stops at 5 minutes, 25 videos and 720p, and can't download.

Why switch

What Scrolvo does differently

No limits on the free recorder

Record for as long as your computer has room, as many times as you like, with no watermark. The online recorder saves every second, so a closed tab can be recovered.

Your video stays yours

Recordings are made and kept in your browser. Nothing is uploaded unless you create a share link, and that copy is deleted when the link expires.

A free link people can talk back on

With a free account, share a video as a link that plays on any phone or computer. Viewers comment at a moment in the video, react with emoji and read the captions, with no account of their own. A long video is made smaller to fit, so about ten minutes fit a free link.

Made for quick how-tos and bug reports

Read from a teleprompter that floats above your other windows, draw on the page while you record, then cut the result, save it as MP4 or turn a few seconds into a GIF for a ticket or a chat.

Screenshots and guides too

The same extension takes full page screenshots, captures long chats and feeds that scroll inside a page as one image, and turns a tab recording into a step-by-step guide.

To be fair

When Loom may suit you better

Your team keeps its videos in one shared library, with folders, and gets notified when someone comments.
You want free links that stay up for good: Scrolvo's free links last up to 7 days, and Pro's until you delete them.
You want to see exactly who watched and how much, or send videos straight into Slack, Jira or Confluence.
You want AI summaries and chapters, or a bot that records your meetings, from Loom's Business + AI plan.
You record outside Chrome and Edge, in Loom's desktop or phone apps.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Is Scrolvo's screen recorder really free?

Yes. Recording, the webcam bubble, the teleprompter, drawing on the page, cutting, captions and MP4 or GIF downloads are free, with no account and no watermark. Share links are free too, with a free account.

Can I share a recording as a link like Loom?

Yes. Sign in with a free account and create a link from the video page: viewers watch on any device, comment, react and read the captions, with no account of their own. Free links last 1 or 7 days, up to 10 at a time, with videos up to 50 MB (a longer video is made smaller to fit, so about ten minutes fit). Scrolvo Pro ($10/month or $100/year) takes videos up to 95 MB, keeps links until you delete them, and adds a password, a button and a download switch.

How do I get past Loom's 5-minute limit for free?

Record with Scrolvo instead: there's no time limit and no account needed. Open scrolvo.appzlr.com/record/ in Chrome or Edge, or use the Scrolvo extension, and record as long as you need. Download the video as MP4, or share it as a free link.

Can I record my screen and my webcam at the same time?

Yes. Turn on the camera and pick a corner and size, and your webcam is drawn into the video. You can also record just the camera.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The online screen recorder at scrolvo.appzlr.com/record/ works in Chrome and Edge. The Scrolvo extension adds recording from the toolbar and scroll recording of whole pages.
