Move your Loom videos to VeoRec, in bulk
Downloading a Loom library one video at a time takes an afternoon. The VeoRec Chrome extension does it for you: open your Loom library in the same browser, collect the links, and VeoRec copies each video, with its sound and picture, into your VeoRec library. It runs in your own browser with your own Loom sign-in, so VeoRec never sees your Loom password.
| In Loom | In VeoRec after the import |
|---|---|
| Your videos | Copied into your library with sound and picture, each as a new VeoRec video |
| Video titles | Taken from your Loom library where it shows them |
| Share links (loom.com/share/...) | Not redirected. Old Loom links keep pointing at Loom; each video gets a new VeoRec link to share |
| Transcripts | Made again: each imported video is processed like any upload, with a new transcript and captions |
| Comments, reactions and view counts | Not copied. They stay in Loom |
| Folders and spaces | Not copied. Videos land in your library, ready to sort into VeoRec folders |
From the VeoRec extension's import page. Loom features are named as Loom shows them; nothing in your Loom account is changed or deleted by the import.
How the bulk import works
- Sign in at veorec.com in Chrome, with the VeoRec extension installed
- Open Import videos (in the Record menu or your library) and pick Import my whole Loom library
- In the import tab, click Open Loom and go to the library or folder you want to bring over
- Come back and click Collect links from Loom: it scrolls the Loom page to find every video
- Click Import. Keep the tab open; each video appears in your library as it arrives
Your Loom password stays with you
The import runs in your own browser, in a VeoRec tab, with the Loom sign-in you already have there. VeoRec never asks for or sees your Loom password, and VeoRec's servers never fetch your Loom links. If Chrome asks, allow VeoRec to read loom.com so it can collect the links.
Old Loom links do not redirect
VeoRec cannot change where a loom.com link points. Anyone who opens an old Loom link still lands on Loom. Before you cancel Loom, replace the links in your docs, tickets, help articles and email templates with the new VeoRec links.
Also from Google Drive, Dropbox and plain links
Paste up to 500 links, one per line: Loom share links, Google Drive file links, Dropbox links, or direct links to .mp4, .webm or .mov files. Video files already on your computer can be picked, or dropped in as a whole folder.
Plan limits apply to imports
Imported videos count like any upload. On Free that means 10 videos and videos up to 10 minutes long, so a large library needs Pro: unlimited videos, 200 GB of storage and videos up to 10 hours long, for $7.99 a month or $79 a year.
Switching from Loom: checklist
- Import the library, then open a few videos to check the sound and picture
- Retry the videos the import marks as failed; download any that still fail from Loom and drop the files in
- Replace Loom links in docs, help articles, tickets and email templates with the VeoRec links
- Swap embedded Loom players on web pages for the VeoRec embed code
- Set who can open each video, or share whole folders for review
- Save anything you need from Loom comments and view counts, since they do not come across
- Cancel Loom only when the new links are in place
Questions
- Do old Loom links redirect to VeoRec?
- No. A loom.com link keeps pointing at Loom, and VeoRec cannot redirect it. Each imported video gets a new VeoRec link, so swap the links where they are used before you cancel Loom.
- Do comments, views and folders come across?
- No. The import copies the videos themselves, with sound and picture, and their titles where your Loom library shows them. Comments, reactions, view counts and folders stay in Loom. VeoRec makes a new transcript for each imported video.
- Does VeoRec need my Loom password?
- No. The import runs in your own Chrome, in a VeoRec tab, with the Loom sign-in you already have there. VeoRec never sees your Loom password.
- Can I import on the Free plan?
- Yes, within the Free plan's limits: 10 videos and videos up to 10 minutes long. A video over a limit is not imported and is marked as failed in the list. A bigger library needs Pro. Compare the plans
- What if a video fails?
- The list says why, and Try the failed ones again retries them. A few Loom videos are only offered as a stream the importer cannot join; for those, download the file from Loom and drop it into Import videos.
- Can I import from my phone?
- No. The import runs in the VeoRec Chrome extension, so start it on a computer.
