How to share a watch page

The watch link is the address of the video page. For a public video it is the thing you send. The other person does not need an account. They open the link, and the player is on that page with the title, the description if you wrote one, and the name of the uploader.

Where to copy the link

When an upload finishes, the response includes the watch link. Copy it then. If you are signed in, you can also open the video in your library and use Share, or open Preview to see the public page the way a viewer sees it. Share is available only while access is public.

On the watch page itself, Share opens the same address and, for a public video, the embed code. Copy the watch link when you want someone to open Playbob. Copy the embed code when you want the player inside a page you already run.

• Send the watch link for a normal viewing page.
• Use Share only on a public video.
• Preview the page before you send it if you changed the title or description.
• Save a guest link somewhere of your own. It is not stored in a library.

What the other person gets

They get the player, the title, and the description you saved. They can see the view count on the page. If the site allows downloads, a download button can appear. If you set a password, they land on the unlock form instead of the picture until they enter it.

A private video does not offer this path. The page tells people that a private video cannot be shared, and the share action is hidden. Change access to public first if you decide the link should work for someone else.
