What are the available Share Link settings?

Control MediaZilla Share Links with privacy, password, download, share, social media, QR code, and embed settings.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Share Links give you control over how your videos and presentations can be accessed, viewed, and shared. Below are the settings you can configure.


Privacy Options

  • Private – The Share Link will not work for general viewers. Only people who already have access to the content in their account can view it.

    • This can happen if:

      • You’ve added them as a user on your company account with appropriate permissions.

      • You delivered the content to them via Email Delivery.

      • They purchased the content through a Paywall.

      • They purchased an add-on via Dynamic Video Sales (DVS).

      • They were given “Can Deliver to Others” permission via Email Delivery, and then delivered it onward.

  • Password Protected – Viewers must enter a password you set before they can access the Share Link.

    • If a viewer already has the content in their account and is signed in, they do not need to enter the password.

  • Public – Anyone with the Share Link can view the content without restrictions.


More Options

  • Allow Downloads
    Enable this setting to let viewers download available versions of the video (Original, HD, SD).

    • If downloads are not enabled, the download button will not appear.

    • Note: Downloads enabled here apply only when viewing from a Share Link. If you want to allow downloads for Email Delivery recipients, you must set that separately.

  • Hide the Share Button
    Hides the share icon (normally shown in the top-right corner when viewing via Share Link).

    • Recommended: Keep this disabled, so viewers can easily share your content on social media and increase exposure.

    • When to enable: If you’ve embedded your video or presentation on your own website and don’t want visitors to grab a direct Share Link and bypass your site.


Sharing and Embedding Tools

  • Share on Social Media
    Quickly share your content to Facebook, LinkedIn, or X (Twitter) using shortcut buttons. These open a new post draft with your Share Link already included.

  • QR Code
    Each Share Link has a unique QR code. Use it on printed materials, programs, or posters to give audiences instant access to your content.

  • Embed Code
    Copy the embed code for your Share Link directly from the settings. Choose between fixed size (with adjustable resolution) or responsive code.


Additional Notes

  • Share Link settings only apply to Share Links. If you are using Email Delivery, settings like download permissions are managed separately.
