RecordX + Loom
What it does today
The paste-a-Loom-URL flow is on the roadmap. Today the process is: download the Loom video from Loom's UI (or your workspace archive), then drag the MP4 into RecordX - transcript, summary and action items come back the same as a live meeting. RecordX preserves the original Loom URL so people watching can jump to the animated visuals.
Setup today
- Create your RecordX account at recordx.io/register.html.
- Open the Loom video and click Download (available on Free plans for your own videos, Business for workspace-wide).
- Drag the MP4 into the RecordX web-app uploader.
- Optionally paste the Loom share URL into the meeting notes so the source stays clickable.
- Wait for the transcript (typically under a minute per 10 minutes of video).
- Share the RecordX meeting link internally instead of the raw Loom - it's searchable.
Setup (once the direct sync ships)
- Paste a Loom share URL into RecordX or send it to your workspace's ingest email address.
- RecordX fetches the video from Loom, transcribes, summarises and files it.
- Automatic tags per folder / workspace pattern route it into the right RecordX collection.
Data sync
| Data | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Video file | Loom → RecordX | Manual download today; automatic fetch planned. |
| Transcript | Generated in RecordX | 50+ languages including Hebrew; Loom's own transcript is not overwritten. |
| AI summary | Generated in RecordX | Speaker-aware if Loom included multiple presenters. |
| Action items | Generated in RecordX | Extracted from spoken text - handy for async status updates. |
| Loom URL | Loom → RecordX | Stored alongside the meeting so viewers can jump to visuals. |
| Loom viewer analytics | Not synced | Loom keeps view / reaction data; RecordX doesn't fetch it. |
Permissions and scopes
Today's flow doesn't touch Loom's account at all - you download the file yourself and RecordX only sees what you upload. The planned direct sync will use Loom's OAuth-based API where available; the exact scope set isn't finalised, but will be the minimum needed to fetch videos from workspaces you nominate.
Pricing and limits
RecordX doesn't charge for Loom uploads - they consume your normal monthly transcription minutes. Loom's Free plan caps recordings at 5 minutes / 25 per person; Business plans allow longer videos, better exports and workspace-wide downloads. RecordX per-file upload limits depend on your plan; large workspace archives should be uploaded in batches.
Common gotchas
- Loom's Free plan doesn't let you download other people's videos - you'll need Business admin rights or the owner to export.
- Music-only intros (no speech) produce empty transcript regions but don't fail the upload.
- Loom's built-in AI (Auto-titles, Summary) is separate; RecordX's transcript won't overwrite Loom's own metadata.
- Retention: RecordX keeps the transcript per your plan's retention policy; the video file itself is optional.
Alternatives
- Zoom / Meet / Teams cloud recordings uploaded to RecordX - same shape as Loom for live meetings.
- Loom's own transcript export - fine if you only need the text and don't need Hebrew / multilingual.
- OBS / QuickTime screen recordings uploaded as MP4 - avoids Loom entirely.
FAQ
- Is the Loom integration live?
- Direct paste-a-Loom-URL is on the roadmap. Today you can download the Loom video from Loom's own UI and upload the file to RecordX for transcript, summary and action items.
- Doesn't Loom already have transcripts?
- Yes - Loom's own transcripts are good. RecordX adds Hebrew and 50+ other languages that Loom doesn't cover well, and it puts async Looms in the same searchable library as your live meetings so one query spans both.
- Do I need a paid Loom plan?
- Any Loom plan that lets you download the raw video works. Loom's Free plan allows downloads on your own videos; Business plans let admins download workspace-wide.
- What file formats are accepted?
- RecordX accepts MP4, WebM, MOV, M4A, MP3 and WAV up to your plan's per-file size limit. Loom exports as MP4 by default.
- Will the Loom link stay clickable?
- Yes - RecordX stores the source URL alongside the transcript so people can jump to the original Loom for the visuals.
Setup checklist
- RecordX account created.
