How to Download Loom Videos: A Complete Step-by-Step Guide (With Real Examples & Command Cheatsheet)

Loom is a great tool for recording and sharing videos, but the platform has restrictions when it comes to downloading — especially if you’re not on a paid plan anymore.

You might have dozens or even hundreds of old recordings and realize you don’t have a way to save them locally (i did)

That’s frustrating, but it’s fixable. In this article, I’ll walk you through the exact process of detecting, inspecting, and downloading Loom videos using yt-dlp.

We’ll cover several different real-world scenarios you’ll encounter — from normal share links, to embeds, to videos with separate audio and video streams.

Using Xdebug in Docker

Getting setup and running with Xdebug in a docker container these days is now fairly simple and is composed of two main steps:

1. Ensure you've got XDebug installed and enabled in your PHP docker image, for example:

   # Installing Xdebug with PHP 7.3 images:
   RUN pecl install xdebug \
     && docker-php-ext-enable xdebug

# This is just a cheat sheet:

# On production
sudo -u postgres pg_dump database | gzip -9 > database.sql.gz

# On local
scp -C production:~/database.sql.gz
dropdb database && createdb database
gunzip < database.sql.gz | psql database

# check if there is a file named maintenance.html
# so when you want to disable maintenance mode just remname "mv maintenance.html maintenance.html.disabled"
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/maintenance.html -f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !maintenance.html
RewriteRule ^.*$ /maintenance.html [R=503,L]
