Let’s face it: No one saves or remembers email. So when you take the time to record and email that perfect video walkthrough, it’s viewed once or twice at the most. Then, a few weeks later, you find yourself explaining the exact same issue that the video was supposed to put to bed.
With Vloomp, you can save your Loom videos or your Neeto videos where your clients can always find them: inside the WordPress dashboard.
Vloomp is a lightweight WordPress plugin that allows you to create a dashboard of Loom or Neeto videos within your WordPress admin area. It's designed to help agencies and developers easily manage and display Loom videos for internal use or client training.
How does Vloomp compare to other embedding solutions for WordPress?
Vloomp is unique in that it creates a dedicated video library within your WordPress dashboard, rather than just embedding videos in posts or pages. While plugins like EmbedPress or the Jetpack Loom block focus on front-end embedding, Vloomp is tailored for back-end organization and easy access to your Loom or Neeto videos.
Can Vloomp embed videos on the front-end of my website?
Currently, Vloomp is designed to create a video library in the WordPress dashboard. It doesn't provide front-end embedding functionality. For front-end embedding, you might want to use WordPress's native oEmbed support for Loom or other plugins specifically designed for that purpose.
How easy is it to add videos to the Vloomp library?
Adding videos is very straightforward. You simply paste the Loom or Neeto video URL into the provided field in the Vloomp settings page. The plugin automatically fetches the video title, thumbnail, and duration from the Loom API. Alternatively, you can use the bulk upload feature to upload a CSV of your videos.
Does Vloomp support bulk video import?
Yes! The plugin includes a bulk upload option for quickly adding an entire CSV file of your videos. (Super handy if you use the same set of videos for multiple clients).
Does Vloomp affect my website's performance?
Vloomp is designed to be lightweight and only loads its assets (CSS and JS) on the relevant admin pages. It shouldn't have any noticeable impact on your website's front-end performance.
Can I use Vloomp for client training or documentation purposes?
Absolutely! Vloomp is ideal for creating a centralized library of training videos or documentation for clients. It provides an easy way for clients to access important videos directly from their WordPress dashboard.
Does Vloomp support other video platforms besides Loom?
Yes, Vloomp supports videos from both Loom and Neeto. Support for other platforms could be considered for future versions based on user demand.
Can I reorder the videos?
Yes! On the Vloomp Settings page, you can drag and drop the saved video list items to change their display order on the main Vloomp Videos page. Click "Save Order" after rearranging.
Do my clients need a Loom or Neeto account to view the videos?
No. Your clients can play the videos right from their WordPress dashboard with one click.
