How to Share a Video With a Link
Use Save Replay when the video is on your device but the recipient needs a simple page they can open, play, pause, and seek in a browser.

A practical framework
Work through the decision in four steps
- 1
Choose the source
Drop an MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM file into the uploader. The first preview stays local to your browser.
- 2
Select the useful range
Move the start and end points, then preview the selection. Only the prepared selection is uploaded.
- 3
Copy the watch link
Save Replay creates the stable share URL when upload starts. The same page moves from processing to ready.
- 4
Send it
A public or unlisted link opens without a viewer account. Choose a restricted visibility when the audience should be limited.
Why send a watch link instead of the source file?
A watch link avoids attachment limits and gives the recipient one browser-ready destination. They do not need the recording software or the same file-handling setup as the sender.
The link is available before processing finishes, so you can copy it immediately. Anyone opening it early sees a processing state rather than a broken player.
Put the workflow into practice
Choose the moment before you upload it
Preview locally, select the useful range, and create one browser-ready link without an account for the basic flow.
