When it comes to sharing your videos, you may want to create links for certain audiences that you can have publish and expire at a specific time.

To set up an expiring link, head to the video you'd like to share and click "Share," then select "Share link."

In the share modal, select "Generate expiring link."

Tip

You can generate multiple audience links at the same time.

By default, links expire after seven days. You can also choose to check off "This link does not expire," or, set a "Valid from" and "Expires at" time.

You can select dates and times from the calendar dropdown, or type in your desired timeframe.

Once saved, you can see when the link is scheduled to activate. Click the pencil icon to edit, or the file icon to deactivate the link. Clicking the link copies it to your clipboard.

When editing a link, you can also choose to delete it.

Note

If you delete an expiring link and change your mind, you will need to generate a new one and reshare it.

If someone views the link before it is activated, they'll see a message that the link is not yet active, as well as the time it is set to be live.

Once live, the media will appear and function as expected.

In your account, in the share modal, the "Scheduled" status will change to "Active." You can also see when it is set to expire.

Tip

You can edit the timeframe or deactivate the link at any time.

Once your link has expired, the "Active" status will change to "Expired."

If anyone lands on the media's page after the link is expired, they'll see a message letting them know it is no longer active.
