How do I get a transcript of a Loom video?

Install the free Loomscribe Chrome extension and open any public Loom share link — a Loomscribe tab appears on the page, and one click shows the full transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. No extension? Paste the link into Loomscribe's free web transcript tool instead.

Is there a free Loom transcript Chrome extension?

Yes — the Loomscribe extension on the Chrome Web Store is free. It shows the transcript of any public Loom video right on the share page, lets you click a timestamp to jump the player to that second, and generates AI summaries with timecoded action items.

Does the Loom extension work without an account?

Yes. Transcripts and summaries work straight after install, with generous free daily limits and no sign-up. Creating a free Loomscribe account raises the limits — no card required at any point.

Can I read a Loom transcript without watching the video?

Yes — that's the point. Open the share page, open the panel, and read the whole recording as text in a minute or two. When something needs the actual screen, click that line's timestamp and the player jumps straight to it.

What data does the extension read?

Only the Loom share page you're viewing, and only to show you its transcript. Requests go to Loomscribe's own API, we never sell data, and the extension has no access to other tabs or sites.

Does it work on private or password-protected videos?

No — it works on public and unlisted Loom links, the same as our web tools. Private videos stay private.

Does it work in Edge, Brave, or Arc?

The extension is built and tested for Google Chrome (Manifest V3). Chromium-based browsers such as Edge, Brave, and Arc can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store and generally work, but Chrome is the browser we support.

Do I need it if I already use the web tools?

The web tools are great for one-off links. The extension shines when Looms come to you all day — the transcript is just there, and click-to-seek only works with the player on the page.

Loom transcripts and AI summaries, right on the Loom page

Last updated: August 9, 2026

✦ Why it exists

Loom's AI works for the sender. This works for you.

Loom's transcripts and AI summaries live in the recorder's workspace — they belong to whoever pays for Loom and hits record. The share link you receive comes with a player, a scrub bar, and nothing else.

Most days you're not the sender. Clients, PMs, and teammates send you walkthroughs, and the only way in is to watch — at 1×, hunting for the one sentence that matters. The Loomscribe extension flips that: open the link, read the transcript, click the timestamp the moment something needs the actual screen.

No Loom subscription, no workspace access, no asking the sender to export anything. If you can watch it, you can read it.

✦ How it works

From install to insight in three steps

Step 1

Add Loomscribe to Chrome

Install the free extension from the Chrome Web Store in one click. No account or card needed to start.

Step 2

Open any public Loom share link

A Loomscribe tab appears on every public Loom share page. Click it to open the transcript panel — speaker labels and timestamps included.

Step 3

Read, click a timestamp, or summarize

Skim the transcript instead of watching. Click any timestamp to jump the player to that second, copy the text, or generate an AI summary with timecoded action items.

✦ What you get

Built for people who receive Looms

Recorded walkthroughs are great for the sender. The extension makes them fast for you.

Full transcript

Speaker labels and timestamps for any public Loom with captions — copy it as text in one click.

Click-to-seek

Every timestamp is a button. The on-page player jumps to that second instantly.

AI summary

A tight summary, key topics, and action items — each action item timecoded and clickable.

Honest free tier

Generous daily runs without an account; sign in free to raise the limits. No card, ever.

✦ Which one?

Both are free. Pick by workflow.

One Loom, one link → the web tools

Paste a share link into the free Loom Transcript Generator or Summary Generator. Nothing to install, works in any browser.

Looms arriving all day → the extension

The transcript is already there when the page opens, and click-to-seek drives the player on the page — something a separate tab can't do.
