Share, embed, publish, and update a video

Use this when

Use this guide to share a video with a public watch link, embed it on your website, or download an MP4. Public sharing and website embeds are available on every plan, including Free. Unlisted links and downloads start on Basic.

For a help article that changes as the product changes, a Basic or higher plan lets you upload and embed a library video. When the workflow changes, upload a new version to the same entry and make it live. If your learning system requires an MP4, export and upload the file there; the old file will still need replacing in that system.

See how the original embed plays the revised lesson. Follow the embedded-video replacement walkthrough.

What this does not do

A public watch link lets recipients watch the video; it does not grant editing access or automatically add it to Made with ngram. Every plan, including Free, can make videos public and share their watch links. Downloads require a paid plan.

Before you start

Open the exact finished conversation or editor project you intend to send. Play it once and confirm the title, thumbnail, captions, and audio. If your account has Share access and you are sharing a draft for review, tell recipients that it is a draft and preserve the project URL so you can update the same link later.

Open Share

1. Open a finished conversation or editor project.
2. Choose Share.
3. Turn public sharing on when you want anyone with the link to watch.
4. Copy the public watch link or embed code to share your video on any plan. On Basic or above, use an unlisted link or choose Download when you need the MP4. Use a connected social destination when you want to publish there.

Public link and embed

Share public video links and embed videos on your website on every plan, including Free. Choose Basic or above for unlisted video links. An unlisted video can be watched by anyone with its link; use a public video when you want it to be discoverable. Copy the embed code to place the player on your website. If you already published an Unlisted video, downgrading to Free preserves that visibility. Starting a new Unlisted publication requires Basic or higher.

Draft review, downloads, and watermarks

• Draft review: if Share offers a public link, send it when a reviewer only needs to play the current render. Keep editing access and the project URL private.
• Local file: on a paid plan, choose Download when the recipient needs an MP4. Paid-plan downloads are unlimited and do not consume credits; the available resolution follows the current plan.
• Share your video publicly with a watch link on Free. Choose a paid plan when you need to download the video file.

Republish after changes

After revising a shared video, check its status in Share and choose Republish when offered. Open the public or unlisted link to confirm that viewers see the intended version.

The gallery is curated

Public sharing does not automatically list a video in Made with ngram. The gallery is a curated showcase controlled by ngram. Turning public sharing off is about the direct watch link, not a self-service gallery listing switch.

What you should see

Public links and website embeds are available on every plan, including Free. Unlisted links start on Basic. Paid plans also provide MP4 downloads at the resolution included in the plan. After republishing, open the shared link to review the updated video.

If the link, download, or published version is wrong

1. Keep the project open and preserve both the project URL and destination link. Confirm that the intended render plays inside the project before changing its sharing state.
2. For an older public version, open Share and choose Republish once. For an MP4 problem, use the download-and-export guide instead of starting a new generation.
3. Open the public link in a separate browser tab and play it. If the same incorrect state remains, stop republishing so the working project and original link stay available for review.

Contact Support when

Contact Support when a public link does not open, one Republish still shows the wrong render, sharing will not switch on despite the displayed plan access, or the current paid-plan MP4 still has a watermark. Include the project URL, public link, plan shown in Billing, approximate time, browser, and the exact visible state. Do not send account credentials or unpublished customer media.

Before you finish

Keep the project URL and destination link together. After any material revision, check whether the public version needs an update and test it outside the editing session before sending it to an audience. Also confirm the thumbnail, title, captions, privacy state, and destination account are the ones you intend to publish.
