Claap

Claap is a French asynchronous video collaboration platform that helps distributed teams communicate more effectively through short screen recordings, AI-powered meeting notes, and threaded video discussions. Founded in 2020 in Paris, Claap was created to reduce meeting fatigue by enabling team members to share quick video walkthroughs of their work, receive contextual feedback through timestamped comments, and build a searchable video knowledge base over time.

The platform works through a browser extension that lets users record their screen with an optional webcam overlay, then share the recording with teammates who can pause at any point, draw annotations directly on the screen, and leave threaded comments tied to specific moments. Claap also functions as an AI meeting recorder that automatically joins video calls, generates transcriptions and AI-powered summaries, and organizes recordings into topic-based wikis and team spaces. The tool integrates with popular project management platforms including Linear, GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Asana, and Trello, allowing video context to be embedded directly alongside tasks and issues.

Headquartered in Paris, France, Claap hosts all data within France and the European Union, ensuring full GDPR compliance for its user base. The platform offers a free tier that includes up to 10 video recordings and 300 minutes of meeting recording, with paid plans starting for teams that need unlimited recordings and advanced AI features. For European teams seeking an alternative to Loom that keeps data within EU borders and combines screen recording with collaborative video discussion, Claap provides a thoughtfully designed and privacy-conscious solution.
