FAQ
No, you will only be notified for the first time your video is viewed. You can always manually check and see who viewed your video in your viewer insights.Â
For Loom to identify who watched your video, the viewer needs to be logged into a Loom account. That being said, if a viewer is not logged in then you will receive a notification that either 'Someone' or 'anonymous' person watched your video.
