Verified steps

  1. For embedding a single known Loom video, use the oEmbed endpoint: GET https://www.loom.com/v1/oembed?url={encoded-loom-share-url} which returns an HTML iframe snippet, thumbnail URL, title, and dimensions.
  2. Insert the html field from the oEmbed response directly into your page — it contains a responsive iframe pointed at the Loom embed player.
  3. To customize the embed, append query parameters to the iframe src: ?hide_owner=true, ?hide_share=true, ?hide_title=true, ?hideEmbedTopBar=true control UI chrome; ?t={seconds} sets a start time.
  4. For the Loom SDK (record-from-your-app): the official Loom SDK for web is available via npm (@loom/record); it opens Loom's recording UI in an overlay and returns a share URL when recording completes — it does not give raw video file access.
  5. For server-side video management (list, delete, get metadata), use the Loom Public API at https://www.loom.com/v1/ with an API key; this API is available to Business and Enterprise plan accounts.
