Getting started with the Loom extension

You can install the Loom extension from the extensions gallery. 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.

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.
