The issue with the analytics bar on top of the Loom video is not a problem with Webflow or Loom specifically. It is actually caused by the way Loom overlays the analytics bar on top of the video player. This issue occurs regardless of the platform on which the Loom video is embedded.

However, while this issue may not be directly related to Webflow, there are some workarounds that you can try within the Webflow platform to minimize its impact on your website's design and functionality.

Here are some potential solutions to address the analytics bar issue on a Loom video embedded in Webflow:

  1. Resizing the video container: By adjusting the dimensions of the container that holds the Loom video, you may be able to position the video in a way that hides or minimizes the visibility of the analytics bar. Experiment with different container sizes to find the optimal solution.

  2. Custom CSS: Webflow allows you to add custom CSS code to your project. You can use CSS to specifically target the Loom video container and modify its appearance. For example, you can try adjusting the positioning, z-index, or opacity of the video container to hide or make the analytics bar less noticeable.

  3. Alternative embed options: Instead of using Loom's default embed code, you can try alternative methods to embed the Loom video in Webflow. For instance, you can upload the Loom video file to your Webflow project's assets and use Webflow's native video player instead. This approach eliminates the issue with the analytics bar altogether.

While it's important to note that these solutions are not guaranteed to work in every scenario, they provide potential avenues to explore when dealing with the analytics bar issue on Loom videos embedded in Webflow.
