Is there a way to stop the desktop app from auto-copying the video link to my clipboard?

After finishing a recording in the Loom desktop app on macOS, the video link is automatically copied to my clipboard, replacing whatever I had there previously.

This is a problem because I often have something important in my clipboard while recording — a code snippet, a URL, a piece of text I'm about to paste — and Loom
silently overwrites it.

I've looked through Settings > Preferences in the desktop app and can't find any toggle for this. The clipboard documentation only covers browser permissions in
Chrome, which doesn't apply to the desktop app.

Is there a setting I'm missing, or could this be added as an option? Something like:

Copy video link to clipboard after recording — On / Off

The link is already accessible from the post-recording screen, so having it forced into the clipboard feels unnecessary. I'd love to be able to opt out.

Hi Domon,

I don't believe there's a way to turn that off. I will share your feedback with our product team!
