Share playlists and folders

Put videos in order and share them as one playlist link, or share a whole folder with a link that covers videos added later.

To share several videos at once, use a playlist when the order matters, such as onboarding or a course, or share a folder when people should see everything in it.

Make a playlist

  1. Click Playlists in the sidebar, then New playlist.
  2. Enter a Name and, if you like, a Description. Viewers see it above the list.
  3. Choose Who can watch: Only me, Workspace, Anyone with the link or Public.
  4. Click Create playlist, then Add videos to pick videos from your library.

You can also add a video from its page: click More actions (…) and choose Add to playlist….

On the playlist page you can:

  • Drag a video by its handle to reorder it. With a keyboard, focus the handle, press Space to pick it up, move it with the arrow keys and press Space again to drop it. Esc cancels.
  • Choose Who can edit: Only me, People I choose or Everyone in your workspace. Editors can add, remove and reorder videos. Only you decide who can watch.
  • Click Copy link to share it, or Play all to watch it.
  • Delete it from the … menu with Delete playlist…. The videos stay in their libraries.

What viewers see

The playlist plays in order with the list beside it. Autoplay next plays the next video when one ends. Viewers can click Previous or Next, or press Shift+N and Shift+P.

Share a folder by link

  1. Open the folder and click Share, or choose Share folder… from the folder's … menu.
  2. Click Create link. Under General access, choose Anyone with the link or Anyone with the link and password.
  3. Click Copy link.

The link covers videos added to the folder later. Videos set to Only you never show. Viewers see the folder's videos and can open each one.

Under Link settings you can set when the link expires and turn Include subfolders, Allow downloads and Show owner on or off. Allow downloads only covers videos whose own downloads are on.

To send the link by email, add addresses under Specific people and click Send invite.

To end it, click Stop sharing. The link stops working for everyone, and you can turn it on again later. To replace the link instead, open the … menu next to Stop sharing and choose Reset link….
