SHARE

Creating a shareable link makes it simple to share your rendered Video by clicking on the "Share" button above the video pane on the Project Page.

Create a Shareable Link

Creating a shareable link allows you to share Project videos with anyone (including people who don't even have a Murf account) via a unique URL

Shareable Links can be generated by deciding the validity of the link. These links expire as soon as the time mentioned (In Days) is completed. You can also create a connection with a lifetime validity by clicking on the lifetime toggle option.

For example, Suppose you have shared a link with a validity of 2 days. In that case, the URL will be automatically revoked after the said period has passed.

If you want to generate a link that does not expire, click on the toggle button beside "lifetime."

Then, click the 'Create link' button, and your shareable link will be created. You can then copy and paste this link anywhere. 

Note: Shared links are dynamic in nature, meaning, when you make any changes to the original project and Build the project, the same changes will reflect in the shared link once it has been refreshed. 

Create a Password Protected Link

Password-protected Shareable Link controls the access of shareable URL links. When you share the password-protected link, the user will have to enter the password to proceed to view the content.

You can set a username and password when creating a Password protected link and decide the validity of this secure link.

Note: Creating Password Protected links are only available with Basic Plan and above.
