Private Video Access allows you to securely share a video with someone without requiring them to create an account.

Each video is sent via a unique URL with an attached password, providing a quick and secure way to share content privately.

How it works

  1. Navigate to:
    ​ONE Admin > Programme Management > Videos

  2. Find the video you want to share

  3. Click Actions > Manage Private Access

You will be taken to the Manage Private Video Access screen.

Generating a new private link

  1. Click + New Private Video Access

  2. Select an expiry date for the link
    ​

  3. Review the display menu showing the URL, password, and expiry

  4. Click Done

The link is now ready to share.

Managing private access links

  • The page will display all private access videos with:

    • URL

    • Password

    • Expiry date

  • Edit expiry dates anytime via Actions > Edit

  • Links that have passed their expiry date will show an Expired label

For added security, send the URL and password separately when sharing with someone.

How recipients access the video

  1. Open the URL in a browser

This makes sharing secure and hassle-free, perfect for external partners, clients, or reviewers.
