How to fix Loom not working
Loom is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach loom.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload the recorder tab
Refresh the tab where the recorder is open, then start a new recording instead of resuming the stuck one. If the preview stays black, close other apps that use the camera, such as Zoom or Teams, because they can hold the device.
Allow camera and microphone access
In Chrome, open chrome://settings/content/camera and chrome://settings/content/microphone, then set loom.com to Allow in both lists. On macOS, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera and Microphone and switch on the browser or desktop app you record with; quit and reopen that app after the change.
Record from the desktop app
If the browser recorder keeps failing, open the desktop app and choose the screen or window you want to share in the recorder. On Windows, check Settings > Privacy > Camera and Settings > Privacy > Microphone and turn on access for desktop apps, then restart the app.
Reinstall the desktop app
Uninstall the app from Settings > Apps > Installed apps on Windows, or drag it from Applications to the Trash on macOS, then install the current version and sign in again. This clears a damaged local install when recordings fail to upload or the recorder opens to a blank screen.
While Loom is down: what to use instead
- Zoom Record a meeting or share your screen live, which helps when the other person can join a call instead of watching a clip later.
- Google Meet Start a call and present your screen, useful when the audience is already on a call and a live walkthrough works better than a recorded message.
- OBS Studio Capture screen and webcam to a local file, choose it when you want control over the recording and can upload the finished video yourself.
- QuickTime Player Record your Mac screen and microphone, good for a quick local clip that you share through your own storage.

What happens when Loom goes down
Loom is a screen and camera recording tool that turns a quick capture into a shareable video link, and support teams, designers, engineers and teachers use it for walkthroughs and async updates. An outage cuts the whole chain at once: you cannot record, the upload stalls, and the people you sent the link to cannot watch it.
Recording tends to break first. The desktop app errors out when you press record, or the capture dies partway through and the file never saves. If a recording does finish, the upload can sit at processing for a long while, and the link you share opens a player that never loads; comments and transcripts go missing on the videos that do play. Trouble is often partial, hitting the desktop recorder or one region while other people record and watch without a problem.

How we track Loom
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Loom, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Loom, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Loom's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
