Using Transcripts with Loom
Grab the YouTube URL
Find the YouTube video whose transcript you want to bring into Loom. Copy the full URL from your browser address bar — it will look like youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID.
Swap to 2outube
Change 'youtube.com' to '2outube.com' in the URL and hit Enter. The full video transcript loads instantly in a clean, copyable format — no login, no extension, no paste box.
Copy the transcript text
Select all the transcript text on the 2outube page. You can copy it as plain text with timestamps, or strip the timestamps if you just want the spoken words for use in Loom.
Paste into Loom
Open your Loom video and paste the transcript into the video description, the Loom transcript editor, or attach it as a companion document. Loom surfaces this text to viewers and makes your video fully searchable — giving YouTube content a second life inside Loom.
Quick Start
Get the transcript
Navigate to any YouTube video you want to transcribe. Copy its URL.
Change youtube to 2outube

Paste into your Loom video
Copy the transcript from 2outube and paste it into Loom's video description or transcript field. Your Loom video is now searchable, skimmable, and accessible — no re-recording needed.

Change youtube.com to 2outube.com in the original video URL.Questions
Does this work with any YouTube video?
Yes, any video with captions.
Is it really free?
Completely free. No account, no limits.
Can I add a YouTube transcript to an existing Loom video?
Yes. Open any existing Loom video, click Edit, and paste the transcript into the description or transcript field. Loom displays it alongside the video so viewers can follow along or search for specific moments.
Does Loom have its own transcript feature?
Loom generates auto-transcripts for videos recorded inside Loom. But if you want to bring in a transcript from a YouTube video — say, to repurpose someone else's content or archive a reference video — 2outube is the fastest way to get that text without any extensions or copy-paste tools.
Can I use 2outube transcripts to record a Loom reaction or commentary video?
Absolutely. Pull the transcript from 2outube, use it as a script or outline, then record your Loom reaction or breakdown. The transcript helps you hit every key point without re-watching the full video repeatedly.
How accurate are the transcripts?
2outube pulls the official caption track directly from YouTube — the same captions viewers see on the video. Accuracy depends on whether the creator used auto-captions or uploaded manual captions. Manual captions are typically more accurate.
Is 2outube better than downloading a YouTube video to re-upload to Loom?
For most use cases, yes. Downloading and re-uploading a video takes time, storage, and may raise copyright concerns. Getting just the transcript with 2outube lets you reference the content in Loom legitimately and instantly.
Can I search the transcript before copying it to Loom?
Yes. Because 2outube displays the full transcript as plain text on the page, you can use your browser's Ctrl+F / Cmd+F to find specific keywords or sections before copying the parts you need into Loom.
