Tutorial: Using Confluence Cloud and Loom together

Using Confluence with Loom helps teams create videos to complement written content or provides an alternative way to consume information.

Save time and provide visual clarity with Loom

Asking questions, providing feedback, or supplying quick answers has never been easier.

Recording and embedding Loom videos is a quick and easy way to enhance collaboration on your Confluence page. It allows you to articulate your ideas and provide contextual responses with a human touch.

Whether you opt for a walkthrough with screensharing or choose to go on camera to share high-level thoughts, Loom videos serve to enrich existing content by providing additional clarity with valuable feedback to your team in a more personable than text.

Fewer, Better Meetings with AI-Powered Meeting Notes

Loom and Confluence enable better and more productive meetings, where you can focus more on the live conversation and less on tedious notetaking. Record your meetings with Loom, and let Loom’s AI-powered meeting notes do the rest. With Loom and Confluence, you can automatically capture your meeting recap, next steps, and assigned action items with automatic @ mentions in a dedicated Confluence page. You can select the Confluence destination for your AI-powered meeting notes to enable collaborative editing automatically, including a shared space of your choice. This makes sure nothing slips through the cracks, even if you missed the live session.

Setting up AI-powered meeting notes

To setup automated meeting notes, follow these steps:

Navigate to your meeting settings
Connect your calendar
Set up Auto-recording rules or select the meetings you’d like to record
Toggle Generate meeting notes in Confluence to On

Accessing AI-powered meeting notes in Confluence

After the meeting, Loom will automatically add the meeting notes and action items to a Confluence page shared with invitees, along with a link to the meeting recording. Meeting invitees will also receive automatic recap emails, including links to the recording and meeting notes page in Confluence. This page includes the chaptered and timestamped meeting recap, links shared in the chat during the meeting, assigned action items, and a link to the meeting recording. Recurring meetings get a dedicated folder and parent page, so you can keep track of ongoing discussions and action items efficiently.

Pro Tip

Highlight notes and click “Create Jira work item” in your Confluence page to automatically turn action items into trackable work.
