Medium Risk · K-12 Accessibility Review
Loom ADA Compliance
Loom ADA compliance is currently rated Medium risk in the DistrictCheck tool database. This page summarizes the current VPAT status, WCAG claim, student data exposure, and the next action a district should take.
What Loom ADA compliance means for districts
This tool has some accessibility documentation, but there are still gaps, dated materials, or partially conformant features to track. Districts should file current documentation and note any areas where accommodations may still be needed.
District implication
Because the tool handles student data, documentation gaps create a more urgent ADA Title II compliance and procurement issue.
Loom accessibility analysis
Loom is increasingly used in districts for staff communication, asynchronous feedback, tutorials, and student-created video explanation. That makes it relevant even when it is not formally purchased as a core instructional product. Video tools create a layered accessibility question: recording controls, playback controls, captions, transcripts, comments, and sharing all matter.
DistrictCheck rates Loom as medium risk because the product is growing in school use but a current public VPAT is not easy to verify. Districts should especially review caption workflows, transcript quality, keyboard access in the player, and whether students can navigate shared videos and comments without relying on pointer-heavy interactions. A video platform can feel accessible if captions exist, while still leaving gaps in navigation or authoring.
The next step is to request a current VPAT and document how Loom is actually used locally. If the tool is primarily staff-facing, the risk may be more manageable. If students must watch or submit Loom videos as part of required classwork, districts should note what accommodations or alternate formats are available until stronger documentation is on file.
