Import from Loom

Before You Start

Importing needs a paid plan. Pro imports into your own library, and CSV bulk import needs a Team plan because each imported video is assigned to a team member. Every import counts against your storage like a normal recording.

One thing to know up front, links only import if they open without a Loom login. A private, password-protected, or SSO-gated video refuses every importer on the market. You have two options for those, flip the video's Loom sharing to "anyone with the link" for the duration of the import, or download the files from Loom and use the CLI path below.

If you are leaving Loom, import or download your videos before cancelling. Loom only offers downloads while a paid plan is active.

Import a Single Video

1. Open Import in the dashboard sidebar and choose Loom.
2. Paste the video's share link.
3. The import runs in the background and takes a few minutes. The video lands in your library with a fresh AI transcript and chapters, ready to share.

Nothing touches your Loom account. The import fetches the video through the same public link you pasted, with no password, login, or extension involved.

Import a Team Library by CSV

On a Team plan, a team owner or admin can import up to 50 videos per file.

1. Open Import, choose Loom, then switch to Bulk import.
2. Upload a CSV. Each row needs a Loom share link and the owner's email address, in any order. A third value names a space to file the video into, and the space is created if it doesn't exist. A header row is optional, and the bulk import screen offers a template CSV if you want the exact shape.
3. Review the confirmation. It lists who is already on your team, who will be added as a new member, and how many seats that uses. New members are never emailed, their videos are simply waiting when they first sign in.
4. Confirm, then watch progress on the results page. Every row ends in a clear status, and you can download the full results as a CSV.

Rows that fail are reported and skipped while the rest continue. Duplicate links are detected, so re-running a file never imports the same video twice.

Bulk Upload Downloaded Files with the CLI

To download a video from Loom, open it and use its Download button. Downloads are available while a paid Loom plan is active, one video at a time, so do this before cancelling. Once the files are on your disk, the CLI uploads the whole folder in one command:

npm install -g quicksnip
quicksnip login
quicksnip upload ./loom-library

The upload paces itself so every video processes reliably, and it keeps a journal in the folder, so re-running with --resume skips what already made it. This is the path that works for private videos, since downloaded files have no sharing settings to worry about.

Troubleshooting

What you see	What it means
"This video is private"	The link doesn't open without a Loom login. Set its sharing to anyone with the link and retry, or use the CLI path.
"Over the 600 MiB import limit"	The file is too large to import by link. Download it and upload it directly.
"Deleted or expired"	Loom no longer serves this video. Only a downloaded copy can bring it back.
"Your storage is full"	Free up space or add storage, then retry the failed rows.
A row shows "Already imported"	The same video was imported before. Nothing is duplicated.

What Carries Over

The video and its title. QuickSnip generates its own transcript and chapters on import. Comments, emoji reactions, and view counts stay on Loom, no importer moves those.
