Share links & magic links
Create per-recipient links with passwords, expiry, and personalised magic links.
Every video can have multiple share links, each with its own settings. Use one link per prospect, campaign, or audience so you get separate analytics.
Available settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Password protection | Viewers must enter a password before watching. After 10 wrong tries in a minute, the viewer is asked to wait a minute before trying again. |
| Expiration date | Link automatically stops working after the chosen date. |
| One-time link | The link stops working once it has been opened. On a download-only page it stops working once the file is downloaded instead: opening the page doesn't use it up. |
| Disable downloads | Removes the download button from the player. When downloads are on, viewers get the original file under its real name and format. |
| Smaller MP4 downloads | Also offer 1080p or 720p MP4 copies (from the video's streaming qualities). Each is made the first time someone asks for it. |
| Download-only page (paid plans) | Shows the file details and a download button instead of the player. Good for raw footage and big masters. Can't be embedded. |
| Viewer watermark (paid plans) | Shows each viewer's name or email, the date and a viewer code over the video while they watch. See Viewer watermark below. |
| CTA button | Shows a call-to-action button (label + URL) over or below the video. |
| Viewer registration | Shows a registration gate before the video plays — collects name, email, phone, company. |
| Viewer messages | Lets viewers leave a message or question after watching. |
| Notification email | Sends you an email when someone views, submits a lead, or leaves a message. |
💡 You can also set downloads-off, download-only and the viewer watermark when you upload, in the upload's Share Link step.
Viewer watermark (paid plans)
The watermark shows each viewer's name or email, the date and a short viewer code over the video while they watch. It moves to a new spot about every 20 seconds. It deters leaks and tells you who leaked; it can't stop screen recording.
1
Set how it looks once per video: Settings tab → Viewer watermark. Add an optional label (e.g. "Screener · Do not share") and choose how visible it is, with a preview. Copy a look reuses a look from another of your videos.
2
Turn it on per share link (or per room) with Watermark viewers' names.
3
Choose what happens when we can't tell who the viewer is: ask for their email before playing, or show only the date and viewer code.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Downloads | A download is always the original file, without the watermark: the watermark is drawn over the player, not into the file. Turn downloads off on links that must stay watermarked. |
| Download-only pages | There's no player, so the watermark never shows. |
| Fullscreen | Stays on in fullscreen on computers and Android. |
| iPhone | The video plays inline, not fullscreen (Safari's fullscreen player can't show a watermark), and the viewer is told why. |
| Embeds | Watermarked links can't be embedded. |
| Trace a leak | Type the viewer code from a leaked recording into Analytics to see which session it was shown to, when, on what device and where, and who it was when known. |
💡 Sending to a list of people? On a share link, Paste a list (up to 200 names and emails) gives each person their own link by email, with screener settings in one click: watermark on, downloads off, one device per person.
Magic links (Pro)
Instead of one generic link, send each person their own personalised magic link. They click straight in — no password, no registration form — and you see exactly who opened it and when.
How to add recipients
1
On any share link, click the Edit (pencil) icon to open the share link settings.
2
Scroll to the Magic Link Recipients section at the bottom of the modal.
3
Enter a recipient's name and email, then click Add.
4
Click the mail icon on their row to send their invite, or use Send All Invites to send to everyone at once.
5
Each recipient's row shows their status: Not sent, Sent, or Opened (with timestamp).
💡 For rooms, the Magic Link Recipients panel appears directly in the Room settings card, with the same workflow.
How magic links work
Each recipient's magic link contains a unique token tied to their name and email. When they click it:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Password protection | Bypassed — their token authenticates them automatically. |
| Viewer registration gate | Bypassed — they're already identified by the name and email you added. |
| One-time link limit | Does not apply — their personal link lets them re-enter freely. |
| Expiration date | Still enforced — if the share link expires, their magic link stops working too. |
| Message collection | Still works — they can still send messages after entering. |
| Analytics | Every open is tracked individually — you see each recipient's name in the analytics view. |
When to use magic links
Sales outreach
Send a prospect their own link — you'll know the moment they watch and can follow up immediately.
Client deliverables
Each stakeholder gets a personal room link — you see who engaged and who didn't.
Password-free sharing
Skip password friction entirely while still knowing who's watching.
Accountability
For onboarding or training, confirm each person actually opened their link.
