📹 Loom Video Downloader: MP4 URL, Transcript, Captions & Metadata

Loom content suite Turn public Loom videos into downloadable media references, captions, and searchable content.
Loom Transcript API Captions, metadata, and monitoring	● Loom Video Downloader MP4 retrieval and transcript files

Stop losing Loom videos to expired share links. Resolve any public Loom video into a fresh MP4 link, full transcript, captions, and complete metadata in one run, then monitor it for changes on a schedule.

Resolve video links Get a fresh MP4 link when downloads are enabled.

See the full picture Duration, views, owner, and thumbnails, not just a link.

Keep every word Pull transcript text, timestamped phrases, and VTT captions.

Track changes on autopilot Re-run on a schedule and get only what's new, changed, or gone.

🔍 What does this Actor do?

Give it a public Loom share link, embed link, iframe snippet, or raw video ID, and it returns one clean dataset row for that video: a fresh downloadable link when the owner allows it, the full transcript, WebVTT captions, and metadata like title, owner, duration, dimensions, and views.

Point it at a public Loom folder or page instead, and it finds the visible share links on its own. Run it again on a schedule with the same monitoring scope, and it tells you which videos are new, changed, expired, or reappeared, instead of handing back the same rows every time.

A signed download link is only ever returned when the video owner has downloads enabled. Private, password-protected, or download-disabled videos are reported honestly with a status instead of forcing a result. Nothing is bypassed, and a missing field is left out rather than guessed.

💡 Why use it?

• I keep a library of public Loom videos for my team and need to know the moment one gets updated, taken down, or re-shared, without checking every link by hand.
• I pull walkthroughs from a public Loom folder and don't want to copy every share link into a spreadsheet myself.
• I archive customer and product demo recordings and need duration, views, and owner on every row so I can sort and audit without opening Loom.
• I build training material or enablement content and need the transcript and captions ready to paste, not retyped from the player.

🔧 Tips

• Start with one target and maxItems at 1 to confirm the fields you need before scaling up.
• Turn on downloadFile only when you need the MP4 itself; leave it off for a faster metadata-and-transcript run.
• Use the same monitorScope name on scheduled runs to track new or changed public videos.
• Paste a full iframe embed snippet directly into targets; the Actor extracts the video ID itself.
• Treat mediaUrl as temporary. Run the Actor again to refresh a signed link once it expires.

❓ FAQ

Can I download every Loom video?

No. A media link is returned only when the public video owner has enabled downloads.

Are returned MP4 links permanent?

No. They are temporary. Run the Actor again to request a fresh public link.

Can it read private or password-protected videos?

No. It uses only content accessible from a public Loom link.

What happens if the file is too large to save?

The dataset row can still include available public video information. File storage may be omitted to keep the run reliable.

🛡️ Limits and data boundaries

This Actor only resolves videos already shared as "anyone with the link". It does not log in, guess passwords, bypass workspace permissions, or access private or restricted videos. A video with downloads disabled is reported as downloadable: false, never forced or worked around.

Signed media, caption, and thumbnail links expire on Loom's own schedule. Run the Actor again for a fresh link. A field the source does not publish is left out of the row rather than filled with a placeholder.
