Add an extra layer of security to your shared videos by requiring a password to view them.

What are password protected videos?

Password protection lets you restrict access to your videos so that only people who know the password can watch them. When someone opens your share link, they'll be prompted to enter the password before the video plays.

This is useful for:

• Confidential presentations — Share internal demos or product roadmaps externally without risk
• Client deliverables — Send work-in-progress videos to specific clients
• Paid content — Gate access to premium video content
• Sensitive material — Protect HR, legal, or financial recordings

How to add a password

1. Open your video from the Library
2. Click the Share button
3. Toggle Password protection on
4. Enter a password of your choice
5. Click Save

Your share link remains the same — viewers will just see a password prompt before the video loads.

Sharing a password protected video

When you share a password protected video:

• Send the link and the password separately for better security
• Consider using different channels (e.g., link via email, password via chat)
• Let recipients know the video is password protected so they expect the prompt

What viewers experience

When a viewer opens a password protected link:

1. They see the video thumbnail with a password prompt
2. They enter the password
3. The video loads and plays normally
4. Their session is remembered so they don't need to re-enter the password on refresh

Managing passwords

• Change a password — Open share settings and update the password field
• Remove protection — Toggle password protection off to make the video accessible to anyone with the link
• Forgot the password? — As the video owner, you can always view and change the password from your share settings

Tips

• Use a strong, unique password for sensitive content
• Avoid using common words or easily guessable passwords
• Remember that password protection works alongside link privacy — only people with both the link and the password can access your video
• You can combine password protection with other sharing features like custom branding and domain restrictions
