How to manage your notifications

All Loom notifications will go into the Loom Notification tab along side a Email notification. In addition to this, you can choose to receive notifications via push notifications on your desktop and/or mobile device. You also have the option to enable notification in Slack. 

Notifications can be sent when someone first views your video, comments, and much more. 👉 See the full list of Notification types in your Personal Settings.

How can I manage my notifications?

Please Note

Email Notification are all or nothing, you can not customize email notifications at this time. More information on this can be found below. 

You can turn on or off your notifications from your Personal Settings at any time.

Under your Notifications settings, you can choose if you want Desktop or mobile push notifications. You can adjust your notifications according to your preferences.

 

Push notifications via email 

You will automatically receive email notifications for the all the Push notifications listed in your Personal settings. At this time, the email subscription options are to either unsubscribe from all Loom emails or receive all email communications from Loom (including product notifications and targeted marketing communications about Loom events like webinars). See below for how to turn on or off notifications:

  • Turn off Email Notifications: You will need to unsubscribe to any perviously sent Loom email. When you unsubscribe you will still receive emails for upgrade request, failed payments and any other email that require account actions. However, unsubscribing will remove you from all marketing and push notification emails listed in your Personal settings. 
  • Turn on Email Notifications: You will need to open a recent Loom email and click Manage Preferences in the footer (as seen below) or reach out to support.

FAQ

Will I be notified for every view seen on my video?

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. 

What does it mean when my video view is seen by 'someone' or 'anonymous'?

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.
