Loom Block

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

Requirements

To use the Loom block, your site needs to have an active Jetpack plan at version 9.0 or above.

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.

Block Toolbar

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

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.

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 in addition to the 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.
