Share links and the player

A share is a published link to a finished video, its guide, or both. It carries its own permissions and its own analytics.

Creating a share​

Share from a finished video. You get a link on your decodx domain that you can send, embed or publish onward. Share links in the sidebar lists every link you've made.

Permissions​

Set who can open a share before you send it. This is the setting people most often get wrong in their first week — a link intended for one customer is easy to make public by accident.

The interactive player​

Shares can play as a normal video, or as an interactive walkthrough: the viewer clicks through scene by scene at their own pace, rather than watching a fixed cut.

Interactive mode changes the rhythm:

  • Scenes marked to advance automatically roll into the next one.
  • Scenes marked to wait hold their last frame until the viewer clicks.
  • An end card can carry a call to action with a real destination.

Autoplay starts muted with captions visible — always allowed by browsers — and the viewer's first click on the sound control is what enables audio.

Every video on this documentation site is a decodx share, played as a normal video.

Comments and reactions​

Viewers can comment and react on a share without an account, so feedback comes back attached to the video rather than in a separate thread.

Shared pages​

Group several shares into one page when a single link should carry a set — an onboarding series, a release's worth of feature videos.
