Share Livid videos plus comments by making them public. Visibility options like unlisted and password-protected, and viewer downloads are available on Pro.
Videos uploaded to Livid can be shared in various ways:
As the video creator:
- By selecting copy link under the video on the video creator page
- From Copy Link on the sharing modal
As the video creator OR users watching your video:
- Directly from the video overlay (provided the share option has not been disabled on the video)
- On the watch page using the share option under the video (provided the share option has not been disabled on the video)
You must ensure your video has the correct visibility settings applied in order for sharing to work. This is set on the Sharing overlay:

Allowing downloads and comments
You can allow comments on your videos. These have optional time-stamps, making them great for reviews. Note that users do not need to create accounts to post comments, making it very accessible.
On the Pro plan you can also allow viewers to download your video by enabling the option for “Allow downloads”.
