If you’re like many of us, you’re attending Zoom (or other video conference) meetings.
A lot of them.
That’s leading many of us to experience “Zoom fatigue.”
Loom AI
We end up having to be “on” for our co-workers and bosses to view us.
We also end up dealing with a ton of faces during a grid meeting with many other people.
Watching them all and managing our own face can be exhausting.

Who?Loom AI is the brainchild of some former Hollywood technical visual artists.
Co-founder and CEO Mahesh Ramasubramanian is a long-time veteran of DreamWorks Animation.
It’s the flexibility of not showing yourself or your background; no makeup or lighting needed.
How this works: There are two parts to the magic here.
First, you need tocreate a Loomie, which is what they call the virtual avatar.
“There’s no makeup or lighting needed.”
You then choose the LoomieLive camera in Zoom or other video conferencing app you use.
The team recommends youdowngrade your Zoom appto an earlier version, though that’s asecurity risk.
Skype andGoogle Hangouts, however, worked fine in our testing.
