Sharing and Embedding Clips
Share your video clips anywhere — social media, client reports, email campaigns, or your website. MentionFox generates shareable links, embed codes, and downloadable files for every clip you create.
Sharing options
Every clip has three sharing methods available from the clip detail page:
- Direct link — Copy a shareable URL that anyone can view in their browser. No login required. The link shows your clip with your branding, captions, and a "Powered by MentionFox" footer. Great for Slack messages, emails, and social media posts.
- Embed code — Copy an HTML embed snippet to place the clip on any website or blog. The embed is responsive and adjusts to the container width. Use this for case study pages, client reports, and landing pages.
- Download — Download the clip as an MP4 file. Use this when you need the raw video for presentations, social media schedulers (Buffer, Hootsuite, Later), or offline viewing.
Sharing to social media
For the best results on each platform, keep these guidelines in mind. Twitter/X supports up to 2:20 of video — keep clips under 60 seconds for maximum engagement. LinkedIn prefers square (1:1) or vertical (9:16) formats. Instagram Reels require vertical format. Facebook supports all formats but square performs best in feeds.
Privacy and access
Shared links are public by default — anyone with the URL can view the clip. If you need private sharing, use the download option and send the file directly. There is no password protection on shared clips.
Tracking views
Each shared clip tracks view count automatically. Check the clip detail page to see how many times your clip has been viewed via the shared link or embed.
