Bring Loom into Shortcut with this link preview integration. Users can paste videos from Loom to see real-time previews in markdown editors, including comments, to help explain complex ideas with pre-recorded video messages. The Loom Integration requires no set up - it should work out of the box with any shareable link from Loom.
With this integration you will be able to:
- Embed Loom videos in Shortcut stories, comments and Docs
- Explain complex ideas with pre-recorded video messages
- Provide detailed explanations about design feedback
Use Cases
- Planning:
- Better support of planning - providing video embeds would keep product and engineering planning + work in sync
- Communication:
- Improve the speed at which issues are looked at by showing
- Are you using Shortcut Docs for technical documentation? Maybe you want to be able to add explainer videos.
How it Works
Using the Loom Integration in Text Fields:
1. Copy the Loom video link using the "Copy Link" option on the Loom video page
2. Paste that link into any of these text fields in Shortcut:
- Story description and/or comment
- Epic description and/or comment
- Objective description
- Iteration description
- Shortcut Doc (Coming soon!)
- Project description (if applicable to your Workspace)
3. Preview or save your change - your Loom URL will show as an embedded preview of the linked design:
Within the embedded Loom video, you can view and enter comments, copy the URL link, or access the window in another browser window.
