What's New in vitelnk
Every feature, improvement, and fix — in the order we shipped it. Updated with every release.
Know What Happens to Every Link
See every open, password try and download on a link, get told when nobody opens it or too many people do, and choose which notifications each link sends you.
NewActivity log for every share link and Room: opens with city and country, right and wrong passwords, downloads, expired or used links opened, and pauses
New"Tell me if nobody opens it": reminders after 48 hours, 5 days and 10 days while nobody has opened a share link, Room or download, plus a warning 2 days before it expires (paid plans)
NewExpected audience: say how many people should use a link and get an email when more do, with an option to pause the link (paid plans)
NewSuspicious activity email when a link gets 10 or more wrong passwords or refused devices in an hour
NewEach share link can follow the video's notifications (email submitted, watched 70%+ or CTA, message) or have its own
NewWatch depth in 10% steps instead of quarters, and every percentage shows the time in the video it stands for (70% · 3:09)
NewChoose when the "viewer watched" email goes out: 70% by default, any 10% step from 10% to 100%, per video, with an override per share link or Room
ImprovedThe video.watched webhook fires when a viewer reaches the link's watch threshold and at 100%, with a new threshold_percent field
NewUpload links can send files into a team workspace folder

FixTeam plans and credit buyers can use embeds and custom GIFs again
NewReturning viewers: a "Returning · 3 visits" badge in the sessions, a returning count in the overview, and a new "watched" email when they come back and watch again (marked as their 2nd, 3rd visit). A named recipient counts as one person on every device they open their link on
FixThe "viewer watched" email now goes out when a viewer closes the tab on a share link or Room (it was often missed before)
FixVideos embedded on other websites now record views, plays and watch depth, and send the watch email and webhook
FixLong or paused viewing no longer runs into expired video links: the player renews them in time
Collect Videos & Watermark Every Viewer
Ask anyone to send you videos or original files through a link, show each viewer's name over the video, and see who registered in a Room.
NewUpload requests: a link anyone can use to send you videos or original files, with optional review before anything reaches your library, email invites with reminders, and limits per link
NewViewer watermark on share links and Rooms: each viewer's name or email, the date and a viewer code over the video while they watch (paid plans)
NewTrace a leak: type the viewer code from a leaked recording into Analytics to see which session it came from
NewPaste a list of up to 200 people and send each their own link, with screener settings in one click
NewRoom registrations are saved as leads, with their own tab and CSV export
NewTurn on a download-only page or the viewer watermark while you upload, and reuse a watermark look from another video
ImprovedOne-time download-only links are used up by the download, not by opening the page, so a link preview can't burn them
ImprovedA clear page explains why a download couldn't start, and phones show a Wi-Fi note before a large download
ImprovedDownload-only pages show the video's animated preview
ImprovedAfter 10 wrong password tries in a minute, viewers are asked to wait a minute (share links, Rooms and upload requests)
FixNew uploads get sharp 720p and 1080p streaming copies again (they were being scaled from a lower quality)
FixRoom settings save correctly, and Room analytics show average watch time
Deliver the Original File
Clients can now download exactly what you uploaded, or a smaller MP4, from a share link or a Room, and you see who downloaded what.
NewDownload menu on share links: the original file, plus optional 1080p or 720p MP4 copies you choose per link
NewDownload-only share links: a page with the file details and a download button instead of the player
NewRooms: download the current video or all videos in the room

ImprovedThe video.downloaded webhook now says which file was downloaded (original or a quality)
FixDownloads now follow every rule on the share link: password, expiry, one-time use, viewer registration and named recipients
Reliable Calendar Bookings & a Public API
Cal.com and Calendly booking calendars now track opens and completed bookings reliably, plus a new API to create share links, manage CTAs, and pull analytics from your own systems.
NewCal.com and Calendly booking calendars rebuilt on each provider's real widget — calendar opens and completed bookings are now tracked reliably
NewNew webhook events: secondary link clicks, calendar opened, booking completed, video downloaded, message received, and feedback received
NewPublic API to create and manage share links, read and update a video's CTA, and pull share-link analytics and messages into your own systems

FixBooking link format is now validated when setting up a Cal.com or Calendly CTA, with a clear error instead of a silently broken embed
Viewer Feedback & Session Analytics

NewViewer feedback button on the share page — viewers past 25% watch progress can leave feedback via a popup, toggleable per share link

NewPause-point breakdown — see which parts of the video viewers pause on most
ImprovedAdd magic link recipients directly when creating a share link, instead of only after saving

FixHLS quality tiers and encoding preset now shown on active share links instead of a generic "Active" badge
UTM Campaign Tracking & Viewer Registration Improvements
Tag share links with UTM parameters so every view is tied back to the campaign that drove it. Restricted-access share links also show a cleaner email-only gate.
NewUTM campaign tracking on share links — tag each link with source, medium, and campaign so every view event carries attribution data automatically
