Last updated

This page aggregates 26 third-party statistics on the screen recording, async video, and remote-work communication category. Every stat is cited with a named publisher, year, and link. No stat is included without a source. Where a stat comes from a research compilation (Breeze.pm, Stealth Agents, etc.), the underlying primary report is named in the citation. Microsoft Work Trend Index data is from primary Microsoft press releases.

Pullsy data — coming soon

We will publish first-party usage statistics here once we have a stable dataset (target: 1,000+ recordings per month, with privacy-preserving aggregation — never individual records). Until then, this page is a pure aggregation of third-party research. No first-party numbers are reported in this version, and the absence is intentional — we do not want to mix unverified counts with cited research.

Methodology

What counts as a stat. A third-party-published number from a named source: a research report (e.g., GitLab Remote Work Report), a vendor-published benchmark (e.g., Loom State of Async Video), a primary press release (e.g., Microsoft Work Trend Index), or a market research report (e.g., Mordor Intelligence). The citation includes the publisher name and the year the stat was published or the report was issued.

What is excluded. Anecdotal claims, vendor marketing without a methodology section, paid-sponsored reports without a peer-reviewed methodology, and any number whose provenance is unclear. If a stat could not be verified to a named publisher in 2024 or later, it is excluded.

On compilation sources. Several stats on this page are sourced via research compilations (Breeze.pm, Stealth Agents, Speakwise, Stripo.email, Outvid.ai, Sendr). These compilations cite the underlying primary report. The citation on this page names both the compilation and the primary report so the chain of provenance is preserved. If a primary source disagrees with the compilation, the primary source wins.

Conflicting market size numbers. Mordor Intelligence puts the 2025 screen recording software market at $2.10 billion, Fortune Business Insights at $2.49 billion, and Market Intelo at $2.8 billion. We cite Mordor as the primary because it has the narrowest methodology scope (screen recording software, not the broader screen capture category). The range across reputable sources is $2.10B–$2.8B for 2025; the data is in flux because Loom was acquired by Atlassian and the category is being consolidated.
