Share a video

Get a public, unlisted, or password-protected link to a video.

Last updated: 2026-05-02

Every video on VideoPlayer.ai has a share page at /v/<slug>. The slug is generated when you upload. The share page hosts the player, the title, and any description you set.

Steps

  1. Open the video from your library at /dashboard.
  2. Click Share. A panel opens with the share URL and the access controls.
  3. Pick the access level you want: public, unlisted, password-protected, or private. The default is unlisted.
  4. Copy the URL. Send it to whomever you want to watch.

Access levels at a glance

Level Who can watch Indexed by search
Public Anyone with the link Yes
Unlisted Anyone with the link No
Password Anyone with the link and the password No
Private Only invited viewers signed in No

You can change the access level at any time. The URL stays the same.

Owner preview

The owner-preview page lets you see the share page exactly as a viewer would, without using a different browser. From the dashboard, choose Preview on the video.

What does not happen

VideoPlayer.ai does not insert ads on the share page. There is no recommended-videos sidebar, no auto-playing next video, no platform branding overlay. The viewer sees your video and the title.
