What does it mean to publish a video?

1. Open the video and select Share.
2. Select Publish Video. The Share page then shows the share link, embed codes and export options.
3. To unpublish later, open More and turn off Published.

• Published: anyone with the link can watch, unless you set a password or access list in the video’s Settings.
• Unpublished: the link and every embed show “Video not available: Not published”. Your interactions and reporting history stay in your account.

If the video switches to other videos, each of those videos must also be published. When one is not, the Share page lists it under Unpublished Video Branches with a Publish button. Until you publish it, the switch to that video does not happen for viewers.

Mindstamp share pages tell search engines not to index them, so a published video does not appear in search results on its own. To help search engines find a video on your own site, turn on Include SEO metadata when you copy the embed code. It adds structured video data and a collapsed transcript to your page.

• If the plan is paused, viewers see “Paused” and cannot watch. See pause a subscription.
• If the subscription ends, viewers can no longer load the video. See do I need a subscription after I create my videos.
• If publishing fails with a message that you reached your plan’s video limit, your library is full. Every video in the library counts, including drafts. Delete a video you no longer use or change plans. See what counts as a video.
