Taped feature

Share Videos Selectively

Only the exact people you invite by email can ever watch. Forwarded links simply don't work.

Selective sharing is Taped's core promise. Instead of unlisted links anyone can forward, you lock each video or playlist to an explicit list of email addresses. Viewers verify with a one-time passcode — if they are not on your list, they see nothing. And it all happens under your branding: every share page carries your logo, colors, banner, and call-to-action. Perfect for clients, students, teams, and paid buyers.

Why it matters

What share selectively gives you

Exact-email access control

Add the precise email addresses that may watch. No link guessing, no public discovery — access is an explicit allow-list.

OTP verification for viewers

Each viewer proves ownership of their email with a one-time passcode before playback begins. Shared passwords can't circulate.

Forward-proof links

Forwarding a share link to someone off the list shows them nothing. Access follows identity, not the URL.

Works for videos and playlists

Apply selective sharing to a single video or an entire playlist/course with one audience list.

Instant revoke and audit

Remove an email to revoke access immediately. See who was invited and who verified, without spreadsheets.

All under your branding

Every selective share page carries your logo, theme, banner, and CTA — viewers see you, never a generic link page. Set it once in Dashboard → Customize Share Page.

Combines with monetization

Buyers are automatically added to the allow-list after payment, so paid access and private access use the same secure rail.

All under your branding

Meetings, selective video & playlist shares, and replays all carry your logo, colors, banner, and call-to-action — set once in Dashboard → Customize Share Page and applied everywhere automatically.

Answers, upfront

Share Videos Selectively — FAQs

How is selective sharing different from an unlisted link?

Unlisted links grant access to anyone who has the URL. Taped's selective sharing grants access only to explicitly listed email addresses, each verified by one-time passcode — forwarding the link grants nothing.

Can I share a playlist selectively too?

Yes. Playlists support the same RESTRICTED mode. Add your student, client, or team emails once and the entire series stays locked to that audience.

What does the viewer experience look like?

Viewers open your fully branded share page — your logo, theme, banner, and call-to-action — enter their invited email, receive a short-lived OTP, and start watching. No Taped account or install is required. Customize it all in Dashboard → Customize Share Page.

Can I revoke someone's access later?

Yes. Remove their email from the audience list and their access stops immediately, even if they previously verified.
