Video Links That Work Exactly Once

A one-time link is spent the moment it is opened. Anyone who tries it afterwards sees an already-used notice instead of your video.

Anyone who opens it after that sees an already-used notice. Create a fresh link if you need to grant access again.

Key Benefits

The link is consumed on the first open, not after a full watch

Everyone after the first visitor sees an already-used notice, never the video

Race-safe: two people opening at once cannot both get in

One-time is per link, so your other links to the same video are unaffected

Issue a fresh one-time link whenever you need to grant access again

Use Cases

Confidential one-look reviews

Share something that should be seen once and not revisited.

ExampleA legal or HR recording goes out as a single-use link, so it cannot be reopened or passed along afterwards.

Sensitive drafts

Let a reviewer see a rough cut without leaving a reusable link behind.

ExampleAn unreleased cut is opened once by your reviewer, and the link is spent before it can end up in a group chat.

Proof-of-delivery moments

Know for certain the link was opened exactly one time.

ExampleThe link shows as used with a timestamp, so you can tell it was opened without relying on the recipient to confirm.

Single-recipient handoffs

Send access you do not want circulating past one person.

ExampleA candidate gets a one-time link to a briefing video, and it stops working the moment they open it.
