Welcome back to our insightful series on leveraging Voomly's unique features to enhance your video content. Following our previous deep-dive into video creation, today we're focusing on an equally essential aspect - sharing your Voomly videos. We'll guide you through using the "Share Link" feature, embedding your videos directly onto your site, enabling comments, and securing your videos, among other things. So, let's get started!

Using the Share Link Feature

As creators, our ultimate goal is to have our work reach as many people as possible, spreading our message or story far and wide. In the digital age, sharing content has become easier than ever, and with Voomly, it's just a few clicks away. Our first stop on this exploration of Voomly's powerful features is the "Share Link" feature. This feature allows you to generate a unique URL for your video, which can then be easily shared across various platforms - be it social media, emails, or direct messaging services. With this tool at your disposal, your content is not confined to Voomly's platform but can be experienced wherever your audience may be.

Here's how you can access your video's share link:

  • ​From the Video Drive tab, select the Voomly video that you wish to share.
  • ​Locate the​ three-dot button menu at the top right corner of your video and select "Copy Link".
  • ​Clicking the "Copy link" option will trigger a pop-up window. In this window, you will find your video's unique URL and two options: "Cancel" or "Copy to clipboard."
  • ​Choose the "Copy to clipboard" option. This action will copy your video's unique URL, making it ready to be shared.

Now you can paste your video's URL anywhere you want your video to be viewed. This can be in a web browser for immediate viewing, a social media post to engage with your followers, an email to your subscribers, or a direct message for a more personal touch.

The Embed Code

Apart from the Share Link, Voomly also equips you with the "Embed Code" feature to further extend your video's reach. This tool generates an HTML code that can be integrated into your website's source code, making your video playable directly on your site. This feature not only offers your audience an unbroken browsing experience but also enhances the visibility of your content. It's a win-win situation! Just be sure to verify your video playback post-embedding, ensuring a smooth viewing journey for your audience. The adept use of these sharing methods can exponentially increase your content's exposure, thereby connecting you with a broader audience in a more impactful manner.

Here’s how to find your video’s embed code:

  • ​Start by navigating to the Voomly video that you want to embed.
  • ​On the Video Player page, locate the three-dot button menu at the top right corner.
  • ​Click on the button to open a dropdown menu and select the "Get Embed Code" option.
  • ​This will trigger a new window to open, presenting you with the HTML embed code for your video.
  • ​At the bottom of this window, you'll find an option marked 'iframe'. If your site specifically supports iframe embed players, select this checkbox before proceeding.
  • ​You can now click on the "Copy to Clipboard" button to copy the entire HTML embed code.
  • ​The copied embed code can then be pasted into your website's source code, allowing the video to be viewed directly from your website.

Please note that not all player functionalities may work correctly with the iframe, so it's crucial to test your video once it's embedded. Confirm that the video plays correctly, ensuring that your audience will receive the best viewing experience possible.

By mastering these sharing methods, you can enhance your audience's viewing experience, and broaden your content's reach, enabling you to connect with more people in a more profound and engaging way. In the next sections, we'll look at additional areas where you can access these sharing tools and discover other Voomly features to enhance your video-sharing practices.

Other Areas to Access Share Link

In our journey exploring Voomly, we've discovered that the "Share Link" and "Embed Code" features are not only available on the standard video player page, but also can be accessed from other locations within the platform. 

Voomly also offers easy access to the "Share Link" and "Embed Code" options from the Video Player customization page and the Interactive Video tab. This strategic placement of sharing tools underscores the platform's commitment to a user-friendly experience. Whether you're in the throes of adjusting the aesthetic details of your video player or orchestrating engaging interactive funnels, you don't have to navigate away from your current task to share your video.

It's all about fostering a seamless workflow, allowing you to focus on perfecting your content without distractions. After all, captivating content and straightforward sharing options make for an effective combination in capturing and retaining viewer attention. Just remember to test your video after embedding it to ensure that it plays correctly.

Enabling and Disabling Video Comments

While it's crucial to optimize the accessibility and distribution of your videos through the share link and embed code features, fostering an engaging viewer experience is equally important. Therefore, apart from focusing on making your content readily available, Voomly also recognizes the significance of audience interaction. Viewer interaction is a critical aspect of content sharing. Comments can stimulate dialogue, offer valuable feedback, and give a sense of community among viewers. Voomly provides the "Allow Comments" feature, which you can manage according to your preference.

Here's how to control this feature:

  • ​Start by navigating to the Video Player Customization page. This page is the central hub for modifying your video player's settings and aesthetics.
  • ​Once you're on this page, look for the Video Page menu. It's where ​you'll find the settings for viewer interactions, including the comment section.
  • ​Within this menu, find the "Allow Comments" feature. It's a straightforward toggle button, allowing for swift activation and deactivation.
  • ​To enable comments, click the toggle button to turn it on. Once activated, viewers will have the ability to comment directly on the video page.
  • ​Conversely, if you wish to disable comments, simply click the toggle button again to turn it off. This action will disable the comment feature, making it impossible for viewers to leave comments.

Branding Your Videos: Setting Up a Custom Logo

After you've established a connection with your audience through engagement tools such as the comments feature, it's time to consider other ways to make your videos distinctly yours. Establishing brand recognition plays an integral role in building trust and familiarity with your audience. Voomly offers an easy way for you to incorporate your branding directly into your video content. By adding a custom logo to your video player, you can maintain brand consistency across all platforms while simultaneously reinforcing your brand's identity.

Here's how to do it:

  • Navigate to the video player customization screen and locate the Player Skin option.
  • ​Make sure the "Branding" feature is enabled. This allows you to customize various aspects of your video player's appearance to align with your brand.
  • ​Once "Branding" is activated, you'll see a "Custom logo" tab. Click on this tab to open the logo upload interface.
  • ​Select your brand logo from your computer and upload it.

Adding a custom logo to your video player not only enhances your brand visibility but also adds a professional touch to your videos, leaving a lasting impression on your viewers.

Keeping Your Video Secured

After establishing your brand presence through the custom logo feature, it's time to ensure that your content is not only recognizable but also secure. While open accessibility can help extend the reach of your content, there may be situations where you want to restrict access to certain videos. Voomly provides a "Password" feature that gives you the control to safeguard your videos. 

Follow these steps to set up this security measure:

  • ​Begin by heading to the Video Player Customization page on Voomly.
  • ​On this page, navigate towards the "Security" menu. This section houses all the features that allow you to fortify the privacy of your videos.
  • ​Look for the "Password" feature within the Security menu. Toggle this feature on to enable password protection for your content.
  • ​Once the Password feature is activated, a field will appear for you to enter a unique password. This password will be the key to access your video, so make sure to choose one that is both secure and memorable.
  • ​You also have the opportunity to personalize the password prompt message. This allows you to maintain a personalized touch while securing your videos.
  • ​After inputting your unique password and customizing the message, don't forget to save your changes.

Now, whenever someone tries to access your video, they'll be required to enter the password you've set up. This way, you can confidently share your content, knowing it's protected from unwanted viewers.

Conclusion

So there you have it! When it comes to spreading your videos far and wide, remember that Voomly's Share Link and Embed Code features are your best friends. But don't stop there, there's so much more to explore in Voomly. Engage with your audience through comments, let your brand shine with a custom logo, and put up that security password to protect your masterpieces. All these and more make Voomly a versatile platform for your video content needs. Dive in, keep experimenting, and you're sure to turn heads in the digital video world!
