How to manage your link expanding, integrations and inline play

Watch Loom videos without leaving your favorite platforms. ⚙️

With Loom's Link Expanding feature, copying & pasting a Loom video link into supported platforms will automatically pull in the Loom embed player. This allows you to watch the video inline so you don't have to leave the context of the conversation.

To facilitate link expanding, you must have the Loom Chrome extension installed. By having this installed, you unlock the ability for the Chrome Extension to recognize Loom links and turn them into the embedded video player.

Here's an example of a Loom video linked in a Trello card
