Prerequisites

  • A Loom account
  • At least one recorded video in your Loom library
  • Access to your Loom dashboard
  • Basic understanding of link sharing

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Access your Loom dashboard

Log into your Loom account and navigate to My Videos from the main dashboard. All your recorded videos will be displayed in a grid or list format.
You can also access recent videos directly from the Loom desktop app or browser extension.
2

Select the video to share

Click on the video thumbnail or title that you want to share. This will open the video player page where you can view and manage your video.
Use the search bar or filters to quickly find specific videos if you have many recordings.
3

Click the Share button

On the video page, locate and click the Share button, which is typically positioned near the video player controls. This will open the sharing options panel.
4

Configure privacy settings

In the sharing panel, select your preferred privacy option:
  • Public on the web - Anyone with the link can view
  • Only people with the link - Requires the exact URL to access
  • Private to workspace - Only team members can view
Choose 'Only people with the link' for secure sharing without making the video publicly searchable.
5

Copy the sharing link

Once you've set your privacy preferences, click the Copy Link button. The video URL will be copied to your clipboard automatically.
The link format will be something like https://www.loom.com/share/[video-id]
6

Set additional permissions (optional)

Click on Advanced Settings if you need to:
  • Require password protection
  • Set link expiration dates
  • Disable downloads
  • Add call-to-action buttons
Password protection is useful for sensitive content that needs an extra layer of security.
7

Share the link

Paste the copied link into your preferred communication method - email, Slack, messaging apps, or social media. Recipients can click the link to view your video directly in their browser.
Include context about the video content in your message to help recipients understand what they're about to watch.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Share button is grayed out or not clickable

Ensure your video has finished processing. Wait a few minutes after recording, then refresh the page. If the issue persists, check that you have sharing permissions for the video.

Recipients get a 'Video not found' error

Verify that your privacy settings allow the intended viewers to access the video. Change from Private to workspace to Only people with the link if sharing outside your team.

Link doesn't copy to clipboard

Try manually selecting and copying the URL from the sharing dialog. Ensure your browser has clipboard permissions enabled for Loom, or try using a different browser.

Video plays but recipients can't see the full content

Check if you've accidentally set viewing restrictions or if the video was trimmed. Review the video privacy settings and ensure Allow downloads is enabled if viewers need full access.
