Frequently asked questions
The questions people ask most after receiving a myvideourl.com link.
Is this link safe to open?
If it’s genuinely on myvideourl.com — yes: it plays a video in your browser, and nothing is downloaded or installed. You can check any link with our validator before opening it. If a link claims to be us but the domain is spelled differently, don’t click it.
Why did I get this link?
Someone who has your contact details — a business you talked to, your employer, an organization you belong to — sent you a video. The message it arrived in usually says who. If you’re not sure, ask the person who sent it, or ask us to verify the link.
Why is it asking for my name or email?
The sender wants to be sure the right person watched. What you enter goes to the sender who created the link — it isn’t sold, and it doesn’t create an account anywhere.
The page is asking me for a password — is that normal?
Some senders protect their video with a passcode and share it with you separately (in the same email or message, for example). That passcode comes from the sender. What a genuine page will never ask for is the password to your email, bank, or any other account.
Will I be charged? Do I need to install anything?
No and no. Watching is free and happens entirely in your browser. A page on this domain asking for payment or an app install is not ours — report it.
Can the sender see me? My camera? My screen?
No. Tracking is limited to playback: that the link was opened, how much of the video was watched, and what you typed into the sender’s own form. Your camera, microphone, files, and other tabs are never touched. Details on the Safety & privacy page.
What if I don’t want my viewing tracked?
Simply don’t open the link — or reply to the sender and ask them to share the video another way. Opening the link is always your choice.
