Loom vs Screencastify

Thanks to the recommendation by Vivien Chan, I've just made a screen-recording instructional video with Loom. I used to use Screencastify for screen recording, but Loom, which is a Chrome extension, trumps Screencastify because ...

a. It has a pause button, which is important if you're doing a long screen-recording, and/or have to switch between opened tabs;
b. you can share the result immediately as a URL, or download it;
c. Unlike the free Screencastify, Loom doesn't have a five-minute limit.
Because of remote teaching, as well as flipped learning, competence in producing instructional videos is becoming more and more important for teachers.
