Privacy

Your recordings are private by default

Every video starts visible to you alone. Five privacy levels let you open it exactly as far as you mean to — and no further.

The Capture Sweet video library with folders carrying distinct privacy defaults

The five privacy levels

  • Private — only you (and your team members, on team accounts) can view. The share link shows nothing to anyone else.
  • Link-only — anyone with the link can watch; the video is never listed or indexed. Links are 32-character cryptographically random URLs — the same unguessable format the biggest platforms use.
  • Password — the link works only after a password you set. Share the link in one channel and the password in another.
  • Email gate — viewers enter their email before watching. You see exactly who watched in your analytics.
  • Public — open and embeddable anywhere. The only level where discovery is the point.

Set privacy once with folder defaults

Folders can carry a default privacy. File a recording into Client Onboarding(default: link-only) and it's link-only; drop the same recording into Internal SOPs (default: private) and it locks down — no per-video fiddling.

  1. 1

    Create a folder

    In your library, create a folder and pick its default privacy in the folder settings.
  2. 2

    File recordings into it

    New recordings saved to that folder inherit the default automatically.
  3. 3

    Override anywhere

    Any individual video can still set its own level — the folder default is a starting point, not a cage.
Changing a video's privacy applies immediately — viewers mid-watch on a now-private video lose access on their next page load.

Record without wondering who can see it

Privacy levels — including password protection and email gates — are on the free plan.
