Loom Video Downloader

Overview

Someone recorded an important walkthrough on Loom six months ago. Now the link is dead, the workspace got reorganized, and that recording is gone. Scrambling to find a Loom video that no longer exists is exactly why having a local copy matters.

This extension saves any Loom recording as an MP4 file on your computer. It works on share pages, embedded players, and workspace libraries. Password-protected recordings prompt for the password right in the extension. Queue up multiple recordings and they download in the background while you keep working, with live progress so you always know where things stand.

Your recordings stay private throughout the process. Everything runs inside your browser using your existing Loom login, and no video data is sent to outside servers. Build the offline library your team should have been building from day one.

FAQ

How do I download a Loom recording with this extension?

Open the Loom share page or embedded player, click the downloader icon, enter a password if prompted, choose your preferred quality, and let the queue finish. The MP4 saves with the original recording name.

Does it support password-protected Loom links?

Yes. The extension prompts for the share password, uses it for that session only, and never stores the credential.

Can I queue multiple Loom recordings?

You can add several recordings to the queue and the downloader will process them sequentially, keeping you within Loom’s rate limits.

Which browsers work with Loom Video Downloader?

Versions are available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Safari is not supported.

Do captions or transcripts download with the video?

Loom’s automated captions aren’t exported. The tool focuses on delivering a clean MP4; download transcripts separately from Loom if required.

Why does it need offscreen access?

Loom often streams recordings via HLS or DASH. Offscreen processing lets the extension merge those segments into an MP4 without freezing your browser.

Is my data private?

All detection and conversion happen locally. Only licence checks touch remote servers, and the extension never stores your passwords or viewing history.

Is this legal?
