Loom Video Downloader


Save your Loom screen recordings and video messages as high-quality MP4 files at 1080p.

Preserving 1080p MP4 Quality from Screen Recordings

Loom encodes screen recordings as H.264 video in an MP4 container, typically at up to 1080p resolution. Whether it's a product walkthrough, a team update, or a tutorial, the native video data is ready for local saving. Our downloader captures the exact stream Loom serves to its player, so you get the same sharpness and frame rate as when viewing online. No transcoding, no quality loss. If the original recording was set to 1080p (Loom defaults to 720p for free accounts but can be upgraded), the downloaded file retains that resolution. Audio is AAC, stereo, usually 128 kbps or higher. You end up with a self-contained MP4 playable on any device.

Beyond the Viewer: Why You Might Want a Local Copy

Loom’s strength is its “instant share” – a link that lets anyone watch in a browser with playback controls, comments, and AI-generated summaries. But there are reasons to download:
- Offline access during travel or poor connectivity.
- Archiving important training materials before they are deleted.
- Editing the recording further (e.g., trimming with desktop software).
- Sharing via platforms that don’t embed Loom links (e.g., internal tools).
- Keeping a backup of a video message that contains key instructions.

Each downloaded file is exactly what the uploader recorded – no added overlays, no “viewer” sidebar. You get the raw screen capture and audio.

Understanding Loom’s AI-Generated Summaries and Captions

Loom offers AI features: automatic title suggestions, chapter markers, and text summaries. These are not embedded in the video file; they exist only in Loom’s web player and metadata. When you download the MP4, you get the video and audio track only. Captions, if the uploader enabled auto-captions, are not included in the container. If you need captions, you’ll have to obtain them separately via Loom’s export options (SRT files are available for some accounts). Similarly, any viewer reactions or comments are server-side only.

What Gets Downloaded and What Doesn’t

  • Included: Full video and audio, exactly as recorded, up to 1080p.
  • Excluded: AI summaries, chapter markers, viewer comments, reactions, thumbnails, and interactive timeline.

No DRM, No Login Required – With Exceptions

Loom does not use DRM (Digital Rights Management) on public videos. That means any video shared with an “Anyone with the link” permission can be downloaded directly without logging in. The same applies to links shared internally if your organization allows public access. However, some videos may be restricted to specific email domains or require viewer authentication. In those cases, the Loom player will prompt for login, and our downloader cannot bypass that. For truly open public videos, though, the process is straightforward: the video is available as a standard HTTP stream.

To give you an idea of typical download scenarios:

  1. Product demo – 3‑minute screen recording, 1080p, 20‑30 MB, includes system audio and microphone.
  2. Personal video message – 1‑minute webcam view, 720p (free account), 10‑15 MB.
  3. Training walkthrough – 15‑minute full‑screen capture with multiple app windows, 1080p, 100‑150 MB.
  4. Quick feedback – short clip using Loom’s mobile app, 1080p, variable bitrate.

All downloadable as pristine MP4 files.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What format and resolution do Loom screen recordings offer for download?
    Loom saves its screen recordings as MP4 files with a maximum resolution of 1080p. Our downloader retrieves the exact MP4 stream with H.264 video and AAC audio, ensuring you get the same quality as the original video message.
  • Can I download the AI-generated transcript along with my Loom video?
    No, only the MP4 video file is downloaded. Loom's AI features, such as automatic transcripts and highlight reels, are part of their viewer interface and cannot be extracted with our downloader.
  • Do I need to log into Loom to download a private video message?
    No login is required if the video message link is accessible through a shared URL. However, if the content is restricted to specific viewers, you must have viewing permission via Loom's access controls.
  • Is your Loom downloader compatible with mobile devices?
    Yes, our downloader works on both iOS and Android mobile browsers. Simply copy the Loom.com URL and paste it into our tool on your device to download the MP4 screen recording.
  • What are the legal implications of downloading a Loom video for offline use?
    Downloading a Loom video message for personal offline viewing is generally allowed per Loom's terms of service. However, redistributing the screen recording or using it commercially without the creator's consent may violate copyright law.
  • Can I download an entire folder of Loom recordings at once?
    Loom doesn't support playlists or folders for batch download. Our tool handles one screen recording URL per download. For multiple videos, you must process each link individually.
  • Why does my Loom video link show an error when trying to download?
    Check that the video message is not deleted or set to private without your access. Also, ensure you're using a modern browser. If the issue continues, the Loom content might use an unsupported format, though rare.

How It Works

  • 1
    Copy video message link. Open the Loom video message or screen recording you want to download. Click the Share button in the top-right corner, then select Copy Link from the dropdown menu.
  • 2
    Paste link into OrbitDownloader. Go to OrbitDownloader.com. Paste the copied Loom URL into the input field. The tool will automatically detect the video source and prepare it for download.
  • 3
    Select MP4 and quality. Choose MP4 as the output format (Loom videos are only available as MP4). Select your preferred quality up to 1080p – higher resolutions yield larger files but retain more detail in screen recordings.
  • 4
    Download the video. Click the Download button. OrbitDownloader will fetch the video message from Loom’s servers and save it as an MP4 file to your device. No login or DRM restrictions apply.

Troubleshooting

  • Loom serves videos as HLS streams (.m3u8) rather than direct mp4, so typical download methods yield only a playlist file.
    Use a downloader that resolves the HLS manifest and merges segments into a single mp4 via ffmpeg, ensuring the final file retains the 1080p resolution of the original screen recording.
  • Screen recordings shared via instant share links often include interactive overlays (e.g., call-to-action buttons) that are not part of the mp4 container and are lost on download.
    If you need the interactive elements, note that standard downloads capture only the base video and audio; consider using Loom's built-in export to preserve viewer metadata.
  • Loom's AI features generate chapter markers and transcripts, but these are not embedded in the exported mp4 file, leaving offline copies without these enhancements.
    Extract transcripts and chapters via Loom's API or manual export before downloading; the mp4 alone will not contain AI-generated metadata.
  • Password-protected video messages require a viewer session to access the stream, causing direct download attempts to fail with a 403 or empty response.
    Authenticate via your browser and then pass the session cookies to the downloader tool, or use a browser extension that captures the stream after the video loads.

Per Loom's Terms of Service, only download videos you own or have explicit permission to use. Respect copyright and privacy rights.
