Share a video

Copy a video's link, send it by email, post it to social sites or apps, and make a QR code from the Share dialog.

Every video has a link that works even while it's still processing. Open the Share dialog to copy it, email it or post it somewhere else.

  1. Open your video.
  2. Click the Copy link button at the top right to copy the link straight away.

Or click Share to open the dialog. The Link tab shows the video link with a Copy link button. If the link expires, the line at the bottom of the dialog says when.

Start at a moment

Turn on Start at under the link and enter a time. The copied link then opens the video at that moment. If you open the dialog while the video is playing, Start at is already set to the current time.

You can also choose Copy link at current time from the More actions menu (…) or from the player's Settings menu.

Make a QR code

On the Link tab, click QR code. Point a phone camera at it to open the video. Click Download PNG or Download SVG to save it, or Back to link to return.

Send it by email

  1. Click Share, then the Email tab.
  2. In To, enter up to 20 addresses. Separate them with commas or paste a list.
  3. Add a note if you like, and tick Send me a copy to get one too.
  4. Click See what they'll get to preview the email, then click Send.

Recipients get the title, an animated preview when one is ready and a Watch video button. Teammates also see it under the bell in Vidler.

To paste the video into your own email instead, click Get email-safe thumbnail. It opens the Embed tab with a thumbnail that works in Gmail and Outlook.

Post to social sites and apps

The Apps tab has:

  • Post to: share on LinkedIn, X or Facebook, or open a new email.
  • Send to an app: post in Slack or Teams, comment on a GitHub or GitLab pull request, or attach the video to a Jira or Linear issue. This is available once your workspace connects those apps. Until then it shows No apps connected yet and an Open integrations button.
  • Copy for apps: the link in the format each app shows best.
