# Sharing and embedding

Share links, embeds, page speed, privacy controls, email, social, and offline use. 16 answers. Part of the [Mindstamp Help Center](https://mindstamp.com/help).

## [How can I share my interactive video?](https://mindstamp.com/help/how-can-i-share-my-interactive-videos)

Publish the video, then open Share. Copy the share link for messages, email and social posts, or copy an embed code for a website or LMS. The interactions run in the Mindstamp player, so a video file uploaded directly to a social network plays as a normal video with no interactions.

## [Can I put an interactive video in an email?](https://mindstamp.com/help/share-video-in-email)

Not inside the email itself. Email clients do not run video players or interactions, so you send a link to the video. Put a still image of the video in the email, link the image and a text button to the share link, and the viewer watches the full interactive video in their browser.

## [How do I publish a video and check it on a phone?](https://mindstamp.com/help/publish-and-check-on-mobile)

Publish the video, place the Responsive embed code on your page, and test on a real phone in portrait and landscape. Check that every interaction is easy to tap, that fullscreen and captions work, and that the share link opens the interactive video from email and social apps.

## [What does it mean to publish a video?](https://mindstamp.com/help/what-does-it-mean-to-publish-a-video)

Publishing turns on the video’s share link and embed code for viewers. A new video starts unpublished, and anyone who opens its link sees that the video is not available. Publishing does not post the video anywhere, list it in search engines, or send it to anyone.

## [How can I embed a Mindstamp video on my website?](https://mindstamp.com/help/how-can-i-include-a-video-embed-on-my-website)

Publish the video, open Share, choose an embed type under Embed, and select Copy embed code. Paste the code into an HTML, code or embed block on your page, not into a normal text paragraph. The embedded video keeps all its interactions and sends views to your Mindstamp reports.

## [Which embed code should I use: responsive, popout, basic, dynamic or oEmbed?](https://mindstamp.com/help/embed-options-dynamic-and-oembed)

Use Responsive for most pages. It replaced the older dynamic embed and fits any screen width. Use Popout when page speed matters most, and Basic iframe when your platform removes scripts. On platforms that support oEmbed, you can also paste the share link of a public video.

Markdown: https://mindstamp.com/markdown/help/embed-options-dynamic-and-oembed.md

## [How can I make an embedded video load faster?](https://mindstamp.com/help/reduce-embed-load-time)

Use the Responsive embed, which already loads lazily, or the Popout embed, which loads the player only when the viewer selects it. Keep the video on Adaptive streaming. For strict speed targets, load the player after your page finishes loading.

## [Can I make my Mindstamp video autoplay?](https://mindstamp.com/help/can-i-make-my-video-autoplay)

Yes. On the video’s Share page, turn on Autoplay (muted) under Playback, then copy the link or embed code again. The video starts without sound, and the sound turns on when the viewer first clicks or taps the player. A browser can still block autoplay, so the video must also work when the viewer presses play.

## [How do I embed a Mindstamp video in Thinkific?](https://mindstamp.com/help/how-to-embed-mindstamp-interactive-videos-into-thinkific)

Publish the Mindstamp video and copy the address from its embed code. In Thinkific’s new course builder, select More, then Interactive or Web content, paste the address, and choose Embed. In the classic builder, add a Multimedia lesson, select Use externally hosted content, and paste the address. Preview as a learner before you publish the course.

## [Can I use Mindstamp videos on Webflow?](https://mindstamp.com/help/embed-on-webflow)

Yes. Copy the Responsive embed code from the video’s Share page and paste it into a Webflow Code Embed element. The video keeps all its interactions and sends views to your Mindstamp reports.

Markdown: https://mindstamp.com/markdown/help/embed-on-webflow.md

## [Can I use Mindstamp videos in iPhone or Android apps?](https://mindstamp.com/help/use-in-mobile-apps)

Yes. Load the video’s share link, or a page with its embed code, in a web view: WKWebView on iOS and WebView on Android. The interactions and data collection work as they do in a browser, provided the web view allows JavaScript, local storage and inline playback.

Markdown: https://mindstamp.com/markdown/help/use-in-mobile-apps.md

## [How do I control who can watch my video?](https://mindstamp.com/help/password-protect-videos)

Open the video’s Settings and go to Access & privacy. Under Privacy, choose Password to require one or more passwords, or Access list to allow only the people on a list. You can also make the video play only when embedded, and only on domains you approve.

Markdown: https://mindstamp.com/markdown/help/password-protect-videos.md

## [Can I restrict the websites my video can be embedded on?](https://mindstamp.com/help/restrict-embed-domains)

Yes. Go to your account Settings, find Domains, and add each approved website under Allowed embed domains. When the list has at least one domain, your embedded videos play only on those websites. The list applies to every video in the account.

Markdown: https://mindstamp.com/markdown/help/restrict-embed-domains.md

## [Can I play an interactive video without an internet connection?](https://mindstamp.com/help/offline-mode)

Yes. On the video’s Share page, select Download offline package, create the package, and download the ZIP. Extract it and open START EXPERIENCE.html in Chrome or Edge on a Windows or Mac computer. Offline views and answers stay on that computer and do not appear in Mindstamp reports.

Markdown: https://mindstamp.com/markdown/help/offline-mode.md

## [How do I change my social share image?](https://mindstamp.com/help/how-do-i-change-my-social-share-image)

The preview image for a shared link is the video’s thumbnail. Open the video’s Design, go to Branding, and change Thumbnail. New shares use the new image. A social network can keep showing the old image for a link it has already read, until you refresh its cache.

Markdown: https://mindstamp.com/markdown/help/how-do-i-change-my-social-share-image.md

## [Can I change a video’s social title, image and description?](https://mindstamp.com/help/how-do-i-control-how-my-video-appears-when-shared-socially-can-i-change-the-generated-title-image-and-description)

Yes. The preview card uses the video’s Tab title (or its Title if the tab title is empty), its Share message as the description, and its Thumbnail as the image. Change them in the video’s Settings and Design, then refresh the preview on each social network.
