What is the One-Time Download feature?

Written by Support
Updated over 2 weeks ago

The One-Time Download feature lets you generate a single-use download link for a video.

Once the link has been used, it automatically expires, giving you a secure way to share content with someone temporarily without worrying about further access.


How it works

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

  2. Find the video you want to share

  3. Click Actions > Generate one-time download

  4. Copy the link and send it to your recipient

Each click counts as a use. Once clicked, the link expires immediately.

There’s no way to confirm if the recipient completed the download, only that the link was accessed.


Managing your one-time download links

  1. Go to: ONE Admin > Programme Management > Video Download Links

  2. Here you can:

    • View all generated links

    • Disable a link – instantly expire a link if you need to revoke access before it’s used

This ensures you maintain full control over shared content.


Why use One-Time Downloads?

  • Share content securely without permanent access

  • Limit distribution for sensitive or pre-release videos

  • Easily revoke access if needed

  • Track which links have been generated


Tips

  • Copy the link immediately after generating to avoid regenerating

  • Disable links proactively if you need to revoke access before the recipient downloads the video

  • Combine with Video Watermarking for added security and traceability
