How do I share my video with a link?
Last updated
Open the video and press Share. The Share this video window gives you a link anyone can view, with Copy link and buttons for X (Twitter), WhatsApp, LinkedIn and more sharing options. The person you send it to watches in their browser without an account. Sharing works on the free plan, which makes it the quickest way to show a video to a student, a client or a colleague. If you need a file for a course platform, an LMS or social media upload, render and download the MP4 instead.
