How you share depends on where the recording was saved.

## Share a standalone recording

A standalone recording is saved on your device and is not sent to a server, so Screenity has no link for it. The player has no Share option.

[Download your recording](https://screenity.io/help/editing/how-to-download-your-videos) and attach or upload the file to a service of your choice. You can also [save it to Google Drive](https://screenity.io/help/editing/how-to-save-your-videos-to-google-drive) and use Drive's sharing options.

To get a Screenity link, record while signed in to an account, or [upload the file to the web app](https://screenity.io/help/web-library/import-videos).

## Share a connected recording

When you stop a recording made while signed in, Screenity opens the web app in a new tab. A standard recording opens in the editor. An [instant recording](https://screenity.io/help/recording/how-to-set-or-disable-the-countdown-before-recording#use-instant-recording) opens in the viewer.

Screenity sets the new video to **Anyone with the link** and copies its link to your clipboard. Open **Share** to check or change the access setting before you send the link:

- In the editor, select **Share** in the top bar. It becomes available once the video has a scene.
- In the viewer, select **Share**. As the owner, you also see **Convert to editable** here, which makes an instant recording editable. Conversion is permanent.

See [Share a video](https://screenity.io/help/web-sharing/share-a-video) for the access settings, thumbnail, email and embed options. Viewers watch on the share page and have no download button. To send someone a file, [export the video](https://screenity.io/help/web-exporting/export-a-video) yourself.

Account access depends on your [subscription or trial](https://screenity.io/help/account-plans/trials-and-subscriptions).
