This guide explains how to share video/audio files imported to a VOD/AOD service Infomaniak.

Introduction

• When you share a media file hosted with Infomaniak, you have the possibility to specify, among other things:
  • the exact moment of the video (timestamp hour/minute/second) at which the viewer using the link in question will access
  • an expiration date for the share link
  • which of your Players should be used to play the media
  • the automatic start of the media once the share link is executed
  • the looping playback of the shared media
• A sharing button (Whatsapp, X, etc.) can also be configured within the Player itself.
