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.
