Share a video you can watch right in the browser

You send a rough cut, draft, or recording: the recipient wants to watch without installing a player or waiting for a full download.

The built-in player streams in the browser. Up to 200 GB per send depending on your plan; viewing is free for the recipient with no sign-up.

For rushes, tutorials, or memories: playback starts in the browser. Recipients install nothing; they download only to keep or edit.

Why in-browser streaming

Downloading a large video just to see if it works wastes time and storage. With Explore mode, playback starts in the browser; the recipient downloads only if they need the file.

Steps — share a video you can watch online
  1. 01

    Prepare the video file

    MP4, WebM, or MOV as you usually export. Check size against your send cap (up to 200 GB on the right plan).

  2. 02

    Start the transfer

    Drop the video on the send page. Free sends without an account cover common cases.

  3. 03

    Check that Explore mode is on

    Explore mode enables watch-before-download. Keep it on unless you have a specific reason not to.

  4. 04

    Share the link

    The recipient plays in the built-in player on the receipt page; no external player required.

What the recipient sees — watch a shared video without an installed player

Streaming playback, usual controls. No install: the browser on desktop or mobile (within mobile size limits when they apply).

Typical situations
