Secure Video Link Sharing With Password Protection, Expiry, and Full Viewer Tracking

A Google Drive or Dropbox link feels secure until someone forwards it. vitelnk attaches access rules to the link itself: a password, an expiry date, single use, or viewer registration. To make a forwarded link useless, send each person a named link with email verification: a new device needs a code from their inbox.

Key Benefits

Per-link passwords: each share link has its own unique access code, independently managed

Expiry dates: set a deadline and the link stops working automatically, no manual action needed

One-time links: self-destruct after the first view, ideal for sensitive drafts

Viewer registration: require name and email before playback, even without a viewer account

Named links with email verification and a device limit per person, so a forwarded link won't play for someone else

Download prevention: HLS streaming from private signed URLs, with no file URL on the page to save

Full session logs: every view is recorded, including watch %, device, timestamp, CTA clicks, and lead captures

Use Cases

Client deliverables

Send finished work to a client without it ending up on a public link.

ExampleYou send a password-protected rough cut to one client. If they forward the link, whoever opens it still needs the password to watch.

Time-sensitive access

Give access for exactly as long as it should matter, then lock it automatically.

ExampleYou share an investor deck video with a 48-hour expiry. After the meeting window closes, the link stops working on its own.

Protecting confidential drafts

Stop a sensitive video from being downloaded and passed around.

ExampleA legal or HR video plays through HLS with downloads disabled, so nobody can save a local copy to redistribute.

Links that can't be passed on

Make sure the person you sent it to is the person watching.

ExampleEach person on a client's team gets a named link with email verification. Forwarded to someone else, it asks for a code sent to the original inbox and doesn't play.
