🎥 Loom Transcript Extractor: Captions, Metadata, and Monitoring

Loom content suite Turn public Loom videos into transcripts, downloadable media references, and repeatable content workflows.
● Loom Transcript Extractor Captions, metadata, and monitoring	Loom Video Downloader MP4 retrieval and transcript files

Turn public Loom recordings into searchable text and a change log. Collect native captions, timestamped segments, 40+ public metadata fields, and NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, or REMOVED change events, without rewatching a single video.

Read captions Export available text, segments, SRT, or VTT.

Keep context Bring 40+ public metadata fields along, from folder to duration.

Discover safely Find visible public Loom links from a supplied page.

Monitor changes Track new, updated, unchanged, and confirmed removed videos.

🔍 What does this Actor do?

Give it a public Loom share link, embed link, iframe snippet, video ID, or a page to scan for visible Loom links. It returns the native captions Loom already publishes, as text, timestamped segments, SRT, or VTT, plus over 40 public metadata fields covering ownership, folder, privacy, and access.

Turn on a named monitor and every repeat run labels each video NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, or REMOVED, so a scheduled check tells you exactly what changed since last time instead of a fresh wall of text to reread.

Everything stays within Loom's public share pages. Login, password, and workspace controls are never bypassed, and a field Loom does not publish is left out rather than guessed.

💡 Why use it?

• I manage customer education and need public Loom walkthroughs in a searchable help centre.
• I run content operations and want captions ready for articles, notes, or research.
• I maintain a knowledge base and need scheduled checks for new or changed public videos.
• I build internal tools and need source-backed transcript rows without manual copying.

💰 Pricing

Pricing is pay per video successfully processed. A video that comes back UNCHANGED on a scheduled monitor run is not charged again, so recurring checks only bill for videos that are actually new or updated. Empty runs and failed retrievals cost nothing, and there are no subscriptions.

🔧 Tips

• Start with one video and check the transcript formats before turning on monitorMode for a schedule.
• Give each recurring monitor its own monitorName so separate feeds do not share a baseline.
• Turn on discoverFromPages to pull every visible public Loom link off a page instead of pasting each one.
• Request only the formats you need in transcriptFormats to keep rows small for downstream tools.
• Use skipVideosWithoutTranscript to keep a feed focused on videos you can actually search.

❓ FAQ

Can this Actor transcribe a Loom video with no captions?

No. It returns native captions Loom makes public. Videos without them can still return available metadata unless you choose to skip them.

What makes this different from a basic Loom transcript tool?

Most tools return only plain text. This one also tracks changes across runs and returns over 40 public metadata fields, so one dataset can support content, compliance, and knowledge base workflows at once.

Can I monitor a public Loom library?

Yes. Use the same monitor name on scheduled runs. Failed requests do not erase prior monitoring state.

Does it access private Loom videos?

No. It does not bypass login, password, permission, or workspace controls.

Why did my download link expire?

Loom download links are temporary. Run the Actor again to request a fresh link when one is publicly available.

🛡️ Limits and data boundaries

This Actor only reads captions and metadata Loom already publishes on a public share page. It does not log in, guess passwords, bypass workspace permissions, or access private or restricted videos. A video with no native captions returns available metadata instead of a fabricated transcript.

Signed download and caption links expire on Loom's own schedule. A field the source does not publish is left out of the row rather than filled with a placeholder.
