Direct video link

Need a direct link to your video file, rather than an embed code? You can copy a direct MP4 link for any quality of your video, or its HLS stream link, right from the video's edit page.

In this article:

1. Copy a direct MP4 link: for the source file or any quality
2. Copy the HLS stream link: for players and apps that support HLS
3. Which link should I use?: MP4, HLS, or embed code

Copy a direct MP4 link

1. Go to Content → Videos and open the video.
2. Open the Files tab. You'll see the Source file and every quality of the video, with its resolution, bitrate, and size.
3. Click the small arrow next to Download on the quality you want, and choose Copy Link.

Tip: want the file itself? Click Download instead.

Copy the HLS stream link

1. Open the video and go to the Distribution tab.
2. Copy the HLS Stream URL (an .m3u8 link).

Which link should I use?

• Direct MP4 link: for tools that need a video file, such as social media schedulers, ad platforms, or presentations.
• HLS Stream URL: for other players and apps that support HLS. It adapts the quality to each viewer's connection.
• Embed code: to show the video on a website with your branded player. Learn more: Embed your videos
