Overview

Loop components create .loop files (earlier releases created .fluid files), stored in OneDrive, SharePoint, or SharePoint Embedded. Storage counts against your organization's SharePoint quota. For details, see storage. To control creation, see admin policies.

Network requirements

URLs and IP address ranges

Verify that required network connections are allowed. Loop relies on core Microsoft 365 and SharePoint infrastructure. Configure your firewall or proxy settings according to Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges.

WebSocket connections

Allow WebSocket traffic to *.svc.ms and *.office.com endpoints. WebSocket connections enable real-time collaboration features including live editing, presence indicators, and shared cursors.

License requirements

Loop components

Users need a OneDrive or SharePoint license.

Loop workspaces

Users need a license that includes the Loop with workspaces service plan. This covers creating new workspaces and managing workspace members. See Loop access via Microsoft 365 subscriptions for eligible licenses.

Exchange Online requirement

For full functionality including @mentions and workspace sharing, users need an Exchange Online mailbox. Users with Exchange On-Premises mailboxes have limited capabilities.
