Method 2: Download Loom Videos Using Loom’s Built-In Option (When Available)

Loom provides its users with an easy way to download their videos directly through the platform, making it a great option if you have access to the video. However, this method is limited to videos that you have created or that the owner has made available for download.

Here’s how you can use Loom’s built-in features to download your videos.

Step 1: Log in to Your Loom Account

  • Open Loom in your web browser.
  • Log in using your credentials. If you don’t have an account, create one to access your videos.

  • You can now enjoy the video offline, share it, or store it for future reference.

Method 3: Download Loom Videos with a Browser Extension (Quick Alternative)

Browser extensions provide a quick way to save Loom recordings directly from the page. They’re useful when Loom’s download button isn’t available. Since extensions vary in quality and permissions, check the details before installing. Follow these steps for a safe, reliable download.

Step 1: Install the Browser Extension

  • Open your browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge).
  • Go to the browser extension store (Chrome Web Store for Chrome or Add-ons for Firefox).

Step 2: Pin the Extension to Your Toolbar

  • After installation, you'll see the Loom Video Downloader icon in the top-right corner of your browser.
  • Pin the icon to your toolbar for easy access. This makes it quick and convenient to use whenever you're on Loom.

Step 3: Open the Loom Video You Want to Download

  • Navigate to the Loom website and find the video you want to download.
  • Click the video to open it in your browser. Make sure you’re logged in or have access to the video if it’s private.

 Step 4: Click on the Extension Icon

  • Click the Loom Video Downloader icon in your browser's toolbar.
  • The extension will automatically detect the Loom video playing on the page and you’ll see a download icon appear at the top right corner of the video frame.

Step 5: Download the Video

  • Click the “Download” button in the pop-up window.
  • The video will begin downloading directly to your default Downloads folder.

Step 6: Access Your Downloaded Video

  • Once the download completes, open your Downloads folder (or any custom folder you've set).

Why SnapDownloader is the Best Option for Downloading Loom Videos

Built-in settings and browser extensions can work for some videos, but SnapDownloader provides a complete, reliable, and efficient way to download Loom videos.

Here’s why it stands out for you:

Integrated Smart Folder Organization

Automatically save videos to custom folders by creator, title, or category. SnapDownloader helps you keep your Loom content organized without manual sorting, unlike simple download methods.

Subtitle and Metadata Download 

SnapDownloader lets you download subtitles and metadata with the video. This ensures you have everything needed for transcription, reference, or repurposing, something basic browser extensions don’t offer.
