Loom Block

The Loom block allows you easily insert a Loom video message into your site’s post or page.

Add a Loom video message by selecting the Loom block from the inserter icon.

Requirements

The Loom block is available on all Jetpack-connected sites. It is a part of the Jetpack Blocks suite and is activated by default. The Loom block does not require a paid upgrade to use. See our Jetpack Blocks article to learn about the available blocks and how to activate them.

Jetpack Blocks require the Block Editor (also referred to as the Gutenberg editor). If you’ve installed the Classic Editor plugin, you will need to switch back to the Block Editor either by:

Deactivating the Classic Editor: Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins in your WP Admin and deactivate the Classic Editor plugin.
Enabling both editors: If you prefer flexibility, navigate to Settings → Writing in your WP Admin. Set Allow users to switch editors to Yes.

See Using Blocks and the Classic Editor for more details.
It may happen that an editor that comes with a custom theme or plugin prevents you from using the Block Editor. In that case, please contact the respective plugin or theme author for further assistance.

Adding the Loom block

You can add the Loom block by searching and/or selecting it from the Jetpack section of the block selector:

See Jetpack Blocks for detailed instructions on adding blocks.

Then enter the Loom URL of the video you wish to share.

As with the image block, the Loom block can be inline-aligned with the paragraph below it by clicking the left-align or right-align icons.

Click on the block to display the block toolbar. The Loom block offers the following options in its toolbar:

Edit Video

The edit option in the Loom block’s toolbar will allow you to select a new video URL for your block. Use this if you need to replace the video file in your block.

Once the video is embedded in the page, you can add an optional caption if desired.

Block Settings

Every block has specific options in the editor sidebar and options found in the block toolbar. If you do not see the sidebar, click the ‘cog’ icon next to the Publish button.

Advanced

The advanced tab lets you add a CSS class to your block, allowing you to write custom CSS and style the block as you see fit.
