Loom on API Status CheckWhat happens when Loom goes down?
Recording fails or stops mid-video
Loom recordings may fail to start, stop unexpectedly, or produce corrupted files when the upload service is degraded.
Videos not uploading or processing
After recording, videos may stay stuck in the "Processing" state or fail to upload to the Loom cloud during backend outages.
Playback errors and blank screens
Shared Loom links may show blank screens, spinner errors, or "Video unavailable" messages when the CDN or video delivery is degraded.
Extension or desktop app not connecting
The Loom browser extension or desktop app may refuse to launch or fail to authenticate when Loom's API is unreachable.
How do I troubleshoot Loom issues?
- 1
Check status.loom.com for active incidents
Loom's status page lists real-time incidents across recording, processing, playback, and the desktop app separately.
- 2
Clear browser cache or reinstall the extension
Browser extension issues often resolve by removing and reinstalling the Loom extension, or by clearing site data for loom.com.
- 3
Try recording in a different browser
If the Loom extension isn't working in Chrome, try Firefox or Edge, or use the Loom desktop app instead.
- 4
Check available disk space
Loom recordings buffer locally before uploading. Low disk space can cause recordings to fail silently.
- 5
Re-authenticate your Loom account
Sign out of Loom and sign back in. Expired sessions can prevent recordings from uploading even when the service is operational.

What can I do during a Loom outage?
Record locally with Quicktime or OBS
For urgent recordings, use macOS Quicktime (Cmd+Shift+5) or OBS to capture screen and camera locally, then share manually.
Use Zoom to record and share
Zoom's "Record" feature can capture your screen and camera and automatically generate a shareable link for quick async video.
Try Loom alternatives like Tella or Descript
Tella and Descript offer similar async video recording and sharing features as Loom fallbacks during outages.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts to get notified the moment Loom recovers from an outage so you can resume sharing video messages.

Frequently asked questions about Loom status
Is Loom down right now?
Check status.loom.com for the official Loom status and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents, Loom is likely experiencing a widespread outage.
Is Loom down for everyone or just me?
To check if it's a widespread Loom outage or an issue with your account: first visit status.loom.com — any active incident means it's global. Then try accessing loom.com from a different browser or network. If your recorded videos play on another device but not yours, the issue is likely local (cache, VPN, or ISP). If uploads are stuck across multiple devices and status.loom.com shows an active incident, Loom is down for everyone.
Why is my Loom recording not uploading?
Upload failures are typically caused by: (1) a Loom backend outage — check status.loom.com, (2) insufficient disk space for local buffering, (3) a network timeout on a slow or unstable connection, or (4) an expired Loom session — try signing out and back in.
Why are Loom videos not playing?
Playback failures can indicate CDN issues on Loom's side or an ad-blocker interfering with the loom.com video player. Try disabling your ad-blocker, using a different browser, or checking status.loom.com for active CDN incidents.
How long do Loom outages typically last?
Most Loom outages resolve within 30 to 90 minutes. Major infrastructure incidents may take longer but Loom typically posts updates on status.loom.com with estimated resolution times.
How can I get Loom outage alerts?
Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive real-time notifications when Loom has an incident. You can also subscribe to Loom's own status updates at status.loom.com.
