Loom makes sharing recordings easy, but viewers often have no download button: the owner may have disabled downloads, or the recording is embedded inside a course, a help doc or a community post. Loom streams the video in pieces, so there is no file to right-click and save.
Loom Video Downloader detects the recording on the page you have open, downloads the stream and saves one MP4, without network traces, page-source inspection or external tools.
- Share pages and embeds: detects Loom recordings on loom.com and Loom players embedded on other websites
- When download is disabled: saves recordings your browser can play even when Loom shows no download button
- Password-protected recordings: prompts for the share password and uses it only for that session
- Quality selection: choose from the qualities Loom provides
- MP4 output: one standard video file that plays offline
- Private by design: downloads run in your browser; recordings never pass through our servers
