Concrete capability record

Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits

A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.

01 · Records and state owned

Record SDK applications, browser recording sessions and lifecycle events, completed-video share URLs, and oEmbed metadata and player HTML.

02 · Data you can retrieve

Receive recording-start, completion, cancellation and insert events, then use the completed share URL to fetch oEmbed metadata and Loom player HTML.

03 · Actions and write paths

Launch and configure the browser recording flow, create a Loom recording through the user-driven SDK experience, and insert its share link or embedded player into the host application.

04 · Authentication and permissions

Record SDK setup uses a public app ID and registered domains; Standard provides separate sandbox and live apps, and optional key-pair authentication adds server-side setup.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Protect recording consent, workspace visibility, link sharing, transcript/content sensitivity, retention, and external embedding behavior.

06 · Limits and caveats

Record SDK is browser-only, does not support server-side rendering, and depends on MediaRecorder plus third-party cookies, so compatibility must be checked before setup.

Proposed customer-shaped experiences

What customers could create on top.

The output could be an export, report, graph, artifact, application, agent, workflow, or downstream feed. These proposals are derived from documented access—not claims that Loom ships them.

Evidence and dates

First-party references, with publisher and review dates separated

“Publisher updated” is shown only when the page exposes an update date. “BYO-UI reviewed” records when this research checked the reference. A missing publisher date is reported as missing—not replaced with the review date.
