How to record meetings with Loom AI for Meetings

Meeting Recording in Loom allows you to record, summarize, and share your Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams meetings so that your team can get up to date in seconds and stay focused on your real work.

This feature is available on any Loom subscription plan, but we recommend a plan with AI to get the most of out of Meeting recording in Loom!

In this article you can find how to do the following:

Connect your Calendar 

In order to use the Loom Meeting Recording functionality, you will need to connect your calendar. Here's How:

  1. Navigate to the Meetings page - as a logged in user in your Loom workspace, click on the Meetings Tab in the left-hand sidebar.

  2. Connect your calendar - a modal will appear and walk you through the steps to authenticate to your Calendar to allow the integration.
Note: Users who do not have recording capabilities in the workspace will not have access to Meeting Recordings in Loom and will not see the Meetings option in the right hand sidebar. If you'd like this functionality, ask an admin on your workspace for a Seat.

Configuring your Meeting Recording settings

Once you have connected your calendar, you will get prompted to configure initial default settings that will apply to all meetings which include: Auto Record, Link access and Recording Recap settings.

Here's where you can edit your Meeting Recordings settings:

Default Settings
All default setting for Meeting recordings can be edited under the Meeting recording tab in your Personal Settings.

Auto Record

By default, Internal meetings will be set to auto-record. However, you will be able to choose whether to auto-record Internal meetings, External meetings or All meetings.

  • Internal meetings are meetings you own with only people within your workspace’s email domain.
  • External meetings are meetings that include at least one person outside your workspace’s email domain. 

Upcoming meetings will display a toggle to indicate the current recording setting. Any meetings that match your auto-record selection will automatically be toggled on, and you can choose to toggle them off to not record.CleanShot 2025-03-14 at 11.38.46@2x.png

Meeting Link Access 

By default, the person recording the meeting will be the Owner of the recording. The recording will be automatically saved into your Library, and shared per your sharing settings (see below), but you are always able to move the recording into a location (folder or space) of your choice!
⚠️ Meetings will not appear on the meeting list unless they have a Zoom link attached.

Meeting share settings can be customized to 

  • Public: Anyone with a link will have access to view.
  • Workspace : Anyone in your workspace will have access to view.
  • Private: Only specific people you add will be able to view. 

Searching for Meeting Recordings

Meeting Recordings will be accessible via search if:

  • you're the owner
  • the recording has been shared directly with you
  • or if it's added to a Space you're a member of

Public videos that can be accessed with a link will not appear in the search unless one of the above conditions is met - so if a video link was sent to you, note that the video may not appear when searching if it has not been shared directly with you or added to a space you are a part of. 

Meeting Recaps

After your Meeting has finished a Meeting Recap email which includes an AI-generated summary and a link to the Meeting Recording will by default be sent to the internal invitees (those whose email domain matches the Workspace's).

If you expected a Meeting Recap, but didn't receive one, you may have "Auto Summary" disabled in your Loom AI settings. Check this by taking the following steps: 

  1. First, go to any Loom on your account.
  2. In the right-hand panel, click the "Settings" tab
  3. At the bottom, click "Set defaults..."

AI Powered Meeting Notes (Beta)

  • For recurring meetings, a parent page is created in which all the meeting note for meeting instances are created child pages.

 

Manually enabling Meeting Recording

If you are in a meeting that has already started, you can still record it by hitting the 'Record Now' button from the Meetings page and entering the meeting’s invite link.

This includes meetings that you do not own/organize. You can record any meeting on your calendar that has a Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams video call link attached to it, and the built-in notifications during the meeting that announce the Loom Notetaker recording the meeting will occur. Keep in mind that even if you start recording, the host of the meeting can remove the Loom Notetaker from the meeting to stop the recording at any time.

Please Note

  • If your meeting platform (Zoom, Google Meets, Teams) has any settings enabled restricting who can join your meetings, this may cause Loom Notetaker to be unable to join and record your meeting. We recommend ensuring that Loom Notetaker is allowed through any such restrictions that might be in place!
  • Only the meeting organizer will be able to download the Meeting Recording.

Meeting Recording Commands 

Anyone in the meeting (not just the host) could use any of the comands below by sending them in the chat. These commands should work in Zoom, Google Meet and Team meetings. 

    • /stop: Stop recording and remove bot from the meeting
    • /pause: Pause recording
    • /resume: Resume recording
    • /cancel: Cancel recording and remove bot from the meeting
    • /help: Display this help message with the list of commands
    • /info: Display information about the current meeting

 

FAQ

How can I disconnect my Calendar?
You can disconnect your calendar at any time by clicking the ⚙️ button in the top-right of the Meetings page. There you’ll find the option to Disconnect. 
How do I know if my meeting is being recorded?
When a meeting is being recorded, you will see a 'Loom Notetaker' participant in your meeting. When the Loom Notetaker joins the meeting, attendees will be alerted that the meeting is being recorded with a comment in the chat and audio cue (Zoom-only). Attendees joining after the Loom Notetaker will not receive this alert, but will see Loom Notetaker as an attendee in the meeting.
How can I stop a meeting from being recorded?
If you are in a meeting that is being recorded, and you wish to stop the recording you can do so by removing Loom Notetaker from the meeting. [In Zoom, click the three dots on the Loom Notetaker participant and then click Remove. In Google Meets, hover on Loom Notetaker’s tile and click More options > Remove from the call. In Teams, click the Participants icon to see the attendees > right-click Loom Notetaker and choose Remove from the drop-down menu.] This will end the recording of the meeting. Keep in mind that only the meeting owner has the ability to do this.
