Upload a video, get a link
Drop a video file into the uploader and ScreenApp turns it into a link you can send by email, Slack, or text. The person on the other end opens it in a browser, no app and no download.
Every upload also gets a transcript, so the link isn’t just a video player: whoever opens it can read what was said, search for a word, or ask the built-in AI chat a question about the recording.
What you get with every upload:
- A shareable link, in MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV, up to 2 GB per file
- A transcript in 100+ languages
- AI chat with any recording, so viewers can ask about the video instead of rewatching it
- Choose who sees it: invite specific people by email, share it with your whole team, hand out “anyone with the link,” or publish a public page
- Revoke access at any time, which takes the link down immediately
- no watermark on any recording or export
- Free plan: 3 uploads
How to convert a video to a link
- Upload the file. Drag a video from your computer or phone, or paste a URL to import from elsewhere.
- Pick who can open it. Default is a link that works for whoever holds it. Narrow it to specific people, your team, or leave it as a public page.
- Copy the link and send it. Paste it into email, Slack, or a message. Revoke it later from the same share panel if you need to.
Transcript quality depends on the audio in the source file: a clean recording with one speaker transcribes better than a noisy room with several people talking over each other. See how we measure accuracy.

Who uses it
- Sales teams sending a demo recording after a call instead of attaching a large file to an email that bounces.
- Support reps sending a fix-it walkthrough to a customer and pointing them to the exact minute in the transcript instead of writing a long reply.
- Recruiters sharing a role-explainer video with a candidate list, without adding anyone to a company folder they shouldn’t see.
- Freelancers attaching a portfolio reel to a proposal, using the link instead of a file attachment that email clients strip.
The pattern: a video file becomes a link, and you decide who can open it.
Security
Uploads are encrypted in transit and stored AES-256 at rest. not used to train AI models. Security controls are published on the trust center.
If you’re sharing something sensitive, keep the link narrowed to specific people or your team rather than “anyone with the link.”
