You ever find yourself digging through sent emails trying to figure out if your client actually watched the video you sent them last week?

Yeah, same.

Sending links through email might feel quick in the moment, but it gets messy fast. Clients lose track. Links expire. Files get buried in threads with subject lines like “Final Final V2 For Real.” And the worst part? You end up re-explaining something you already recorded twice.

To be honest, this isn’t just about convenience. It’s about the impression you leave. No matter how solid your service is, a scattered delivery makes everything feel a little rushed or unfinished.

Now picture sending one clean link. All your videos, organized in one place. Branded with your logo. Easy for your client to check any time, without needing to ask for a resend.

Voomly makes that possible. And once you set it up, it’s hard to imagine going back.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to build a client-facing video portal using Voomly, what to include to keep clients on track, and how to make the whole thing look professional without adding extra work to your plate.

Let’s make your delivery as polished as your actual service.

Let’s not overcomplicate this. A client portal isn’t some shiny extra. It’s what keeps your delivery from turning into a digital scavenger hunt.

Most freelancers and agencies rely on a mix of tools to send videos. One update goes through email. Another sits in Google Drive. Maybe you toss in a Loom link here and there. And before you know it, your client has five links from three platforms with no clue which one to click first.

I’m telling you, even the most organized client will get overwhelmed. And the ones who aren’t? They’ll just give up and ask you to explain it all over again.

Here’s what having a proper video portal actually solves:

Everything you include should help your client move forward without second-guessing or getting lost. A clean portal isn’t just easier to manage. It shows your client you’ve thought things through and made the process simple on purpose.

Setting up your portal doesn’t need to be some huge project. The goal is to keep things organized for your client and easy for you to manage. If it feels too complex, you won’t stick with it.

Here’s how to build a setup that works right away and scales when you need it to.

Start simple. Make a folder for each client or major project. Give it a clear label so you don’t have to guess what’s inside.

Inside that folder, organize your videos by stage or topic. A few common categories that work well:

This structure helps your client know exactly what to watch and when. It also saves you from repeating updates just because someone forgot where the last video was.

Upload your logo. Choose your brand colors for the player. Add thumbnail images so each video looks intentional, not like a placeholder.

Even these small touches matter. They signal that this isn’t just a one-off video link. It’s part of your service. And when your client sees something that looks custom-built, they’re more likely to treat it seriously.

Voomly lets you add buttons below your videos. Use them.

Here are a few smart ways to link things up:

You can even connect one video to the next, creating a natural flow so your client doesn’t have to ask, “What do I do now?”

Protect your content with password access, email restrictions, or time-limited links. You can keep portals open during active contracts or set them to expire after project wrap-up.

This makes things feel secure and professional without adding friction.

This is where things get really useful.

Voomly shows you who watched what, how long they stayed, and if they came back later. You don’t have to guess if your client saw that key instruction at the end of the video—you’ll know.

And if they didn’t? Now you can follow up with context instead of blind reminders.

Once your portal is set up, the real question is what goes inside. Not every video belongs here. You want to make it easy for your client to stay on track, not overload them with every recording you’ve ever made.

Think of this as their personal video dashboard. What do they need to move forward without sending you another email?

Here’s what’s worth including:

This sets the tone. Use it to introduce yourself (briefly), explain what’s inside the portal, and give a quick overview of what comes next. A short video here builds trust right away and makes clients feel guided instead of left to figure things out.

If you’ve created a roadmap, proposal, or audit, don’t just drop a PDF. Walk them through it. A screen recording with your voice explaining key decisions helps the client understand your thinking and saves you from repeating yourself in calls later.

Don’t just say, “Here’s the file.” Take a few minutes to explain what it is, how to use it, and why it matters. For example:

It’s a small effort that makes a big difference in how your work is received.

If you’re handing off something the client needs to use on their own, record a quick tutorial. This is especially useful for software tools, spreadsheets, or content systems. You can even reuse these for future clients, saving time down the line.

Each phase should end with direction. Whether it’s booking a call, filling out a form, or approving a draft, add a short video that explains what to do next.

Pair it with a button under the video that links directly to the action. The easier you make it, the more likely they’ll do it.

When the project wraps up, don’t just disappear. Create a final video that recaps what you delivered, offers a quick summary of outcomes, and gives them a way to get in touch later.

Clients remember how things ended. A polished closeout video sets the tone for future work or referrals.

If it doesn’t help your client take action, it doesn’t belong in the portal. Keep it clean, clear, and client-focused.

Now that you’ve got the right videos in place, let’s talk about how to make them feel a little more polished without doubling your workload.

Inside Voomly Cloud, you’re not just getting video hosting. You also get a full toolkit to help you create branded, clear, and engaging content without opening five different apps.

If you want to explain things better, stay on brand, or just save time, here’s how to use the tools that already come with Voomly.

Whiteboard videos are perfect for explaining your process, outlining timelines, or breaking things down visually during onboarding. Doodly makes this quick and simple. You can drag in props, draw paths, and keep things moving without needing to show your face or record a live demo.

It’s a great format when you want to teach something without making it feel overwhelming.
