Private video sharing — password-protected links

Share videos securely with passcodes, unlisted URLs and controlled embeds.

When a Drive link feels too loose and email attachments fail, private video hosting keeps the experience polished for clients while locking down who can watch.

Create a private video
01

Password-gated playback

Require a passcode before the player starts. Share the link and password through separate channels for stronger control.

02

Unlisted links that stay out of feeds

Videos are not pushed into a public discovery surface. Access starts with the URL you distribute.

03

Temporary access patterns

Combine protection with workspace hygiene — remove or replace videos when a review cycle ends.

04

Team and client workflows

Designers, agencies and product teams share cuts privately without forcing every viewer through a heavy portal.

A few things to know.

How does password protection work?

Viewers open the link and enter the password you set before playback begins.

Is private video available on Free?

Access controls are part of the product experience; check your plan limits for storage and advanced options on pricing.

Can I embed a private video?

You can embed the player; pair embeds with domain rules on eligible plans for tighter site control.

What if someone forwards the link?

Anyone with the link still needs the password if protection is on. Change the password or remove the video to revoke access.
