How to extract audio from a Loom recording
Loom is the go-to async-video tool for work and the default source of "watch this quick walkthrough" videos. When you need the audio of a Loom for a transcription, a podcast repurpose, or a caption track, VideoSplit handles the MP4 download cleanly.
Loom's free plan allows video download — use it instead of piping audio through an online recorder. The resulting MP4 has a single AAC audio track with whatever microphone the recorder used, at around 128–160 kbps.
Step-by-step
- Download the Loom video. Click Options → Download on any Loom video you have access to. Saves as an MP4.
- Open VideoSplit.io. Any modern browser.
- Drop the Loom MP4 onto the page. Drag and drop. Loom videos are usually a few hundred MB at most.
- Pick WAV for transcription or MP3 for listening. WAV is Whisper-ready at 48 kHz. MP3 at 320 kbps is a lightweight archival format.
- Download the audio. Saves with the Loom video's original title.
Tips for better results
- Loom enterprise plans occasionally disable downloads — in that case, ask the creator for the source file.
- If the Loom recorder had a poor microphone, the audio is already noisy; extraction cannot clean what was never captured cleanly.
- For a batch of Loom lessons, process them one at a time — you can keep the same browser tab open and just swap files.
