When clicked, the link will open the video on a dedicated sharing page for your viewer to watch.
Open your video share options
To access the share options, select the Share button next to any video in your library.
You'll also find the Share button at the top of the video edit page which opens immediately whenever you finish recording a new video.

Share a link with your video's thumbnail 🔗 + 🖼️

, whichever you have chosen in your video's thumbnail settings.

Many common programs like Gmail, Outlook, Google Docs, Apple Mail (to name a small few) will work with the copy link and thumbnail option.
