Where are the Embedded Loom Videos Stored?

[Mike]

I tested creating a Loom video directly from within Confluence.

I then embedded the video on the Confluence page I created the video

The video also appeared in my personal Loom Library.

I could also share this video with my company Loom Library. 

I then deleted the video in loom and the embedded video continued to exist in Confluence.

All the evidence points to the video essentially being stored along with the Confluence (taxonomied) Pages... which is quite useful from a company point-of-view.

Can you confirm that embedded videos are stored locally and will continue to do so (i.e. this is not some unplanned blip)?

Hi Mike 👋

Loom videos are not stored locally. Here's a page with detailed information on data storage. As Robert mentioned, deleting a video should result in a 404 error where the video was embedded in Confluence. 

I'd love to connect you with Loom's support team so that we can further investigate. To get in touch, simply click on the question mark button in the bottom right corner of your Loom account.

Just ran a test and I can't replicate your results :(  I recorded the loom directly in Confluence, then went into Loom and deleted it.

The frame still exists on the page, however, a creepy 404 error appears instead of the video.

Tested on Loom/Confluence free tier:

1. Make a page
2. click the loom icon in bottom right
3. record something
4. publish page
5. go to loom
6. delete video
7. return to confluence

Also tried

1. sharing the video before deleting
2. not publishing the page before deleting

Any combination of the above resulted in this:
