Selecting this option will create a shareable link of the video's Stream page and copy it to the clipboard for easy copy/pasting in other apps such as Teams or Outlook.
You can adjust the sharing settings in the modal that appears by selecting Settings.
You can also adjust the settings of the link and create additional sharing links later in the video file's sharing settings in OneDrive.
Share with people in your organization
Selecting this option will open a modal where you can add recipients in your organization, include a message and send them a link to your completed video's Stream page.

Sharing a Clipchamp video to work on it with others
When you're editing a video in Clipchamp, the options that are available to you to share the ongoing project with others to collaborate depend on the version of Clipchamp you're using.
If you would like multiple users to edit a video in Clipchamp for personal version, you can open an editing video on a different computer when you log into the same Clipchamp account that you created the project with. At this stage, it's not possible in the Clipchamp personal version to share a video with another user and make edits together.
In Clipchamp's work version you can share an editing project with others in your organization and can thus work on it together.
You can give your colleagues "edit" or "view-only" permissions for the project, similar to how this is possible for other Microsoft 365 files like Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
To share a Clipchamp video this way, select the Share dropdown next to the Export button in the editor user interface.
Then, select from the available options:
-
Share
-
Copy link
-
Manage access
Share will open a window where you can add recipients and email them a link to the project.
You can choose to provide Edit or View permissions.
Note that available options here may vary depending on the sharing settings that your Microsoft 365 administrator enabled for OneDrive/SharePoint in your organization. Clipchamp inherits these settings.
Copy link will create a shareable link and copy it to your clipboard.
You can adjust the link settings by selecting Settings.
Note that it's possible to create multiple sharing links with different permissions assigned to them, for instance if you'd like someone to help you edit and someone else to only view and provide feedback.
Manage access lets you see and adjust access settings for the project folder.
Note: People you invite to your Clipchamp video who open a link that you send them will be taken to the editing project's folder in your OneDrive/SharePoint. There, they can select the .clipchamp file to open the project in Clipchamp.
