Why embed Loom videos in Notion
When Loom and Notion make sense
Loom and Notion work well together when you want to explain something once and reuse it many times. Instead of repeating the same explanation in every call, you can record a short Loom video and save it next to the written steps inside Notion.
This mix is especially helpful for onboarding new teammates, running async standups, and giving clients quick walkthroughs of their projects. It also fits well with internal documentation and how to wikis, where one clear video often makes a process much easier to understand.
Benefits of using Loom inside your workspace
Keeping Loom videos inside Notion helps you keep context in one page. People can read the written instructions, watch the video, and check related tasks without jumping to another tool.
It also reduces the need for extra meetings, since many updates can live in a short video and a few lines of text. Processes become easier to follow, and visual learners usually feel more confident when they can see you click through a real example instead of reading a long wall of text.
What you need before embedding Loom in Notion
1. Basic requirements
Before you start, make sure you have a few basics ready.
- A Notion account and a workspace where you can edit pages.
- A Loom account, either free or paid.
- A stable internet connection, since the video plays from Loom and not from a file stored inside Notion.
If all of these are set, you are ready to start adding Loom videos to your pages.
2. Check your Loom video privacy settings
Many problems with Loom embeds in Notion come from the privacy settings in Loom. Every Loom video has a sharing option that controls who can view it.
Common options include wording such as Anyone with the link, Workspace only, or Only people added. If you keep a video restricted, your teammates may see an empty frame or an error when they try to play it inside Notion.
Before you embed, open the video in Loom and check the sharing setting. For most Notion use cases, choosing a setting similar to Anyone with the link is the safest option, especially if you plan to share the Notion page with people who are not in your Loom workspace.
3. Supported Loom links and embed codes
Notion works best with the regular Loom share link you see in your browser or in the share dialog. You do not need to copy any iframe embed code for Notion to understand the video.
The iframe embed code is mainly useful when you add Loom to a normal website where you can edit the raw HTML. In Notion, a simple Loom share link is enough, and Notion turns that link into a playable video block for you.
Method 1: Embed Loom in Notion by pasting the link
This first method is usually the fastest way to embed Loom in Notion, since you only need to paste a link.
- Open the Loom video you want to share.
- Copy the share link from the Loom share menu or from your browser address bar.
- Go to the Notion page where you want the video.
- Click on an empty line, then paste the Loom link.
After a brief moment, Notion will show a small menu with options such as Create bookmark or Embed. Choose the option that embeds the video. In many workspaces, this will show as Embed Loom or something very close.
Once the embed appears, you can click and drag the corners of the block to change its size. You can also move the block up or down the page so it sits next to the text or database that needs the video.
Method 2: Embed Loom using the slash loom command
If you enjoy using slash commands in Notion, you can use the built in Loom block.
- On an empty line in your Notion page, type slash loom.
- Select the Loom option from the list that appears.
- Paste your Loom share link into the field.
- Confirm to embed the video.
This method feels very structured when you build templates or repeat the same layout often. For example, you can prepare a page template where each section includes a Loom block and a short checklist, then duplicate that template for each new project.
How to control the look and feel of Loom embeds in Notion
Resizing and aligning the embed block
Once your Loom video is embedded, you can adjust how it looks so it fits the rest of your page.
Click on the video block and look for the handles on the left and right. Drag them to make the video wider or narrower. A wider block makes the video feel more like a full width view, while a narrower block works well beside text or a database.
You can also move the entire block by grabbing the handle on the left side of the block. Drag it up or down until the video sits in the part of the page that makes the most sense.
Using columns to design better Loom sections
Columns in Notion help you build layouts that feel more like a custom dashboard. They also work very well with Loom embeds.
Try placing your Loom video in one column and your written content in another. For example, you can keep a video on the left and a list of steps on the right. In other workflows, you might use a video beside a task database, or a video beside a section for client notes and questions.
This layout keeps the page easy to scan. People can watch the video while checking the steps or tasks beside it, instead of scrolling up and down to find what they need.
Mobile and tablet considerations
Most teams do at least some of their work on phones or tablets. Loom embeds in Notion still work on these devices, but the layout feels tighter.
On smaller screens, columns usually stack into a single column. That means your video might move above or below the related text. When you design a page that includes multiple Loom videos, try to keep important videos near the top of each section and avoid placing too many in a single long sequence.
If someone has a slow connection on mobile, several embeds on one page can feel heavy. In that case, consider breaking content into a few smaller pages that each contain only the videos and notes that belong together.
Practical ways to use Loom videos inside Notion
For team documentation and SOPs
Loom and Notion make a strong pair for standard operating procedures and internal guides. You can record a quick walkthrough that shows every click, then add a simple checklist underneath for people who prefer to work from a written list.
Over time, this turns into a living library where teammates can search for a process, open the Notion page, and immediately see both the video and the steps they need to follow.
For client portals and project hubs
If you use Notion as a client portal or project hub, Loom videos can make your updates feel more personal. Instead of sending a long email filled with links and screenshots, you can record a short Loom update and embed it at the top of the client page.
Below the video, you can keep timelines, next steps, and meeting notes. Clients can watch the update whenever it suits them, then scroll down to confirm details without leaving the page.
For onboarding, training, and internal wikis
New teammates often feel overwhelmed by written documentation alone. When you add Loom videos to your onboarding pages and internal wikis, you give them an easy way to see how things actually work.
You might create a welcome page with an introduction from the founder, then add separate pages for tools, workflows, and recurring tasks. Each page can include at least one Loom embed that explains the most important part of that topic.
For personal productivity and learning
Loom embeds in Notion are not only for teams. You can also use them in your personal workspace.
For example, you could record a Loom video where you walk through a complex idea, then embed it in your own knowledge base or learning database. You can also save helpful Loom tutorials from others and keep them inside a Notion dashboard dedicated to a course or skill you are trying to master.
If you already love using Loom and Notion together, Super can take it one step further. Turn your embedded videos and docs into a public site that looks professional without any extra setup.
Frequently asked questions
Can I embed Loom videos in any Notion page?
Yes, you can add a Loom video to almost any normal Notion page. As long as you can edit the page and paste a link, you can embed the video there.
Do I need a paid Loom plan to embed videos in Notion?
No, a free Loom account already lets you embed videos in Notion. A paid plan only matters if you need more recording minutes, higher limits, or extra controls.
What is the difference between a Loom share link and the embed code?
The Loom share link is a simple URL that Notion can understand on its own. The embed code is meant for websites where you can edit HTML, which you do not need for Notion.
Can people who are not in my Loom workspace watch the video in Notion?
Yes, they can, but only if your Loom sharing setting allows it. If the video is restricted to your workspace, guests or clients outside that workspace will not be able to watch it.
Can I put a Loom video beside text or a database in Notion?
Yes, you can. Use columns in Notion, then place the video in one column and your text, checklist, or database in another column for a cleaner layout.
Can I autoplay a Loom video inside Notion?
Notion does not give fine control over autoplay. Most people use the default behavior and let viewers press play when they are ready.
Can I embed more than one Loom video on the same Notion page?
Yes, you can add several Loom embeds to a single page. Just keep in mind that too many videos on one page can feel slow for people with weaker internet connections.
What is the best way to use Loom videos in team documentation inside Notion?
A simple approach is to put the Loom video at the top and a clear checklist or written steps under it. This way, teammates can watch the explanation once, then follow the steps without rewatching the whole video.
