Loom Video Download & Transcript Extractor

Extract metadata, native transcripts, timestamped segments, SRT/WebVTT captions, and direct media URLs from public Loom share links. Optionally download each exposed video into the run key-value store for downstream processing.

This actor is designed for content teams, customer-success teams, researchers, and AI agents that need to turn public Loom recordings into searchable text or reusable video files.

What it returns

Field	Description
sourceUrl, videoId	Normalized Loom share URL and identifier
title, ownerName, durationSeconds, thumbnailUrl	Public metadata when exposed by Loom
videoUrl	Direct video media URL when exposed by the public page
transcriptText	Plain-text native Loom transcript
transcriptSegments	Structured text segments with timestamps when available
srt, vtt	Caption files generated from timed native segments
videoKeyValueStoreKey	Key of the downloaded MP4 when downloadVideo is enabled
accessStatus, warnings	Explicit access and extraction diagnostics

When to use

Use this actor for public loom.com/share/{id} or loom.com/embed/{id} links. It reads Loom’s own transcript/caption data and does not use speech-to-text, so the output reflects what Loom currently exposes.

Do not use it for private, password-protected, workspace-restricted, or invite-only videos. The actor does not bypass authentication or access controls; those inputs return a diagnostic record with accessStatus: "restricted".

Input example

{
  "loomUrls": [
    "https://www.loom.com/share/981c06eada22476088cb5fe462a6b955"
  ],
  "downloadVideo": false,

}

Bare Loom video IDs are also accepted. Up to 25 URLs can be processed per run.

Reliability and legal notes

Public visibility is controlled by the Loom video owner. Transcript availability depends on whether Loom generated and exposed a transcript for that recording; a video can be accessible while its transcript is unavailable. Use downloaded media and transcript data only where you have the rights and permission to process it, and comply with Loom’s terms and applicable law.
