Share a video with a link

A share link lets anyone watch your video on a branded page in their browser, with no Videospan account needed. You can keep it simple with Quick Share, or turn it into a branded presentation with your own layout, title and call to action.

Steps

1. Open the video you want to share.
2. Select Share, point to Branded Playback Page, then choose Create New Link. The link is created right away, and its Public Link Settings page opens.
3. Under Link Details, give the link a Name and Description. Only your team sees these, and they make the link easy to find later.
4. Leave it on Quick Share for a simple player, or choose Presentation for a branded page and pick a Layout Style: Vertical, Video Left or Video Right.
5. Select Save.
6. Select Copy Link and share it in an email, a chat or anywhere else. Use Open Link to see exactly what viewers will see.

Good to know

• Customize the page in Presentation mode. The Formatting tabs let you change the page's Appearance, add a CTA Button, set the Title viewers see and attach Resources. Turn on Allow download to let viewers save the video.
• Save a setup for next time. Save as Config stores your layout choices so future links can start from them.
• One video, many links. Create a separate link for each audience or campaign, so you can track and manage each one on its own.
