Quickly share Loom videos
Share links are unique URLs that you can generate for your Loom videos to easily share your content.
Share links offer flexibility in how you share your videos, allowing you to adjust your privacy settings for your intended audience.
👇 Click the boxes below to explore the share options.
👇 Watch this video to see how to use Loom share links and customize privacy settings.
Provide editing permission to collaborators
By default, sharing permissions are set to “Can view”, which grants access to view the video, but not edit it.
If you wish to give certain people, groups, or spaces access to both view and edit your video, you can change that permission setting to “Can edit”.
👇 Provide groups or individuals with edit permissions.
Embed your videos for a seamless viewing experience
Embedding enables you to integrate your Loom videos directly into various platforms, offering a smooth viewing experience.
Looms can be embedded not only in Atlassian apps like Confluence and Trello, but also in other platforms such as Gmail, Slack, LinkedIn, or any HTML-supported site.
To embed a Loom video:
- Click on the Share button at the top right and click the Social tab. Click on one of the share options to automatically embed your Loom video.
- To get the embed code, go to the Embed tab and click Copy embed code. Paste it into your embed tool.

You can record your Loom using any of the three recorders, but to enable the automatic link embedding integrations, you need to have the Loom Chrome extension installed.
Give your Loom a personal touch using variables
Loom variables allow you to dynamically customize your video titles to your recipients. The variable serves as a general placeholder for any title variations you may wish to use such as different {Names}, {Company-names}, or any other {Variable}.
Record once and then use variables to instantly scale personalization to everyone you need to reach out to. Your Loom will be automatically duplicated for each variable value you input.
👇 The variable created duplicate personalized videos for each name value.
Simply adding somebody's first name to your Loom video title can increase its open rate by 26%.
