Share a video with a link and collect comments
Share link uploads a lighter 1080p copy of a finished export and gives you a link anyone can watch and comment on without an account; each comment is tied to a moment in the video and shows up in your project as a pin you can jump to, reply to and mark done.
For PandaStudio 2.1.53 and later. Share link is for feedback and review: send a cut to a client, a teammate or a guest and get comments back at the exact second they are about. PandaStudio makes a lighter copy on your computer (1080p, about 3 Mbps, so a 4 minute video is roughly 95 MB) and uploads only that; your full-quality export never leaves your machine. The link opens a simple page at share.writepanda.ai with the player, captions when the export has a transcript, and comments. Viewers type a name and a comment, no account, and can reply to each other. In the editor, a Comments button appears above the preview: each comment is a pin on the timeline, clicking its time jumps there, and replying or marking it done updates the page for your viewers. Every licensed plan includes it, with storage and link life that depend on the plan (see the limits below). Trial copies cannot share.
In the app
- 1Export your video, then click Share link in the Export complete window. Or open Exports on the Home screen, open an export and click Share link.
- 2Check the title, optionally tick Require a password, and click Create link. You can see how much share storage you have left before you start.
- 3PandaStudio makes the share copy and uploads it, with a progress bar. You can cancel at any time. If your connection drops, Resume upload sends only what is missing.
- 4When it finishes the link is already on your clipboard. Paste it to whoever should watch.
- 5To see comments, open the project in the editor and click Comments above the preview. Click a time to jump there, Reply to answer, Mark done when you have handled it. New comments also arrive by email, a few at a time.
- 6To manage links, open Exports on the Home screen and choose the Shared links tab: copy, renew, rename, set or remove a password, turn comments off, or delete. It shows views, comments and when each link expires.

Examples
Limits per plan
Lifetime plans (Solo, Starter, Creator, Team): 10 GB of share storage, and each link works for 30 days from when you create or last renew it. Renewing is one click, in the app or from the reminder email. Pro and Agency: 100 GB, links do not expire, and you can hide the Made with PandaStudio footer. On every plan one link holds a video of up to 30 minutes and 1 GB. Storage counts only the lighter copies that are currently online, so deleting or letting a link expire frees space. A Team license shares one storage allowance across its seats.
When a link expires
You get an email 5 days before with a Keep this link button. If you do nothing, viewers see a page saying the link has expired, not an error. The video is kept for 7 more days so you can still renew it from Shared links; after that it is deleted and you share the export again for a new link. Comments already in your project stay there.
When share storage is full
PandaStudio tells you how much the video needs and how much is left, and nothing else in the app is affected. Open Shared links, delete a link you no longer need (the list shows each link's size), and share again. Or move to Pro for 100 GB.
Privacy
Only the lighter share copy is uploaded, and only when you click Create link. File metadata such as titles and device names is stripped from the copy. Links are long random addresses that search engines are told not to index; add a password for anything sensitive. Viewers are not tracked: the page sets no cookies and loads nothing from other companies, and views are counted without storing addresses. Viewer emails are optional and only you see them. Delete a link and its video and comments are deleted from our storage straight away.
Reporting a video
Every shared page has a Report this video link. Reports go to the PandaStudio team, and we remove videos that break the terms. To ask for a takedown directly, email support@writepanda.ai with the link.
CLI & MCP
Every capability is a verb, reachable from the terminal or from an MCP agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Claude Desktop).
