Make embedded videos autoplay or play at a specific time

Embedded Loom videos with autoplay may not work on all sites or browsers. Some web browsers and sites have policies and restrictions around Autoplay which Loom cannot always bypass.

How to embed a video with autoplay or play at a specific time

  1. You'll first need to grab the Loom video HTML embed code.

  2. Select Share at the top of your video.

  3. Select the Embed tab. Choose between Responsive or Fixed and copy the code.

  4. Now grab the URL parameter below based on what you need (autoplay or specific time), and add it to the end of the Loom video URL. 

    1. For autoplay: Add ?autoplay=1 or autoplay=true to then end of the Loom URL link.

    2. For playing at a specific time: Add ?t=80s to start at 80 seconds or t=10m8s if you want to specify by minutes.
