## Using a Loom extension

Because the public Loom URLs can be viewed by anyone who has the link, no API key is needed. Please note that you need a Loom account or Loom URLs to use this extension. You can sign up for Loom [here](https://www.loom.com/signup).

When you first install the extension, you will be prompted to select a cell that has a publicly shared Loom link. These will be in the form of `https://www.loom.com/share/xxxxx`.

Selecting any text or URL cell will display a playable Loom video in the extension. If the Loom link is password-protected, you will be prompted to enter the video password in the extension.
