Share a finished video with a link. The setting at the bottom of the share window decides who can open that link.
Open the share window
- Select My Videos in the sidebar.
- Find the finished video and select Share on its card. You can also open the video and select Share under the player.
- The Share your video window opens.
Share shows when the video is finished.
Send the link
- WhatsApp, X, Facebook, Telegram, and Email open that app with the link and a short message.
- Copy link copies the link. Link copied confirms it. Paste it wherever you want.
- If your device has its own share menu, More opens it.
- If copying does not work, select the link in the box and copy it by hand.
Choose who can watch
At the bottom of the window, select the current setting, for example Only me. Then pick one:
- Anyone with the link: only people who have the link can watch.
- Public: anyone can watch, and the video can appear on LongStories pages.
- Only me: nobody else can open the link. The share buttons stay off until you pick another option.
A message confirms the change. To change it later, select Share again.
What people see when they open the link
The link opens a page with your video, its title and a Make your own video button.
When you made the video in a public universe, the page also shows the universe's name and picture, and a Make your own episode of button with the universe's name. It opens the universe, so the viewer can make a video in it.
The page shows no universe when you made the video in the Open universe, or in a private universe. Only you see the name of your private universe there.
Videos from the old free plan are public
Videos made on the old free plan are public. Without a paid plan, you cannot change them to Anyone with the link or Only me. From My Videos and the video page, the share window shows only Public, with the note Videos on the free plan are public. Paid plans can make them private. Select See paid plans to compare plans.
