Once a recording lands in your workspace, you can share it with anyone — including people who don’t have a Userplane account. Sharing generates a public share link that lets the recipient view the full recording, including the video and all captured technical data, directly in their browser. Use public sharing when you need to loop in a developer, product manager, or stakeholder who isn’t on your Userplane workspace — giving them enough context to understand an issue without adding them to your team.
Public share links are intentionally short-lived. If you find yourself regenerating links for the same person repeatedly, consider inviting them to your workspace instead. Workspace members get direct, long-lived access to recordings without the overhead of expiring links.

​
Sharing modes

Userplane supports two ways to share a recording: Use Share with teammates when referencing a recording within your team. Use Share with collaborators to generate a temporary public link for external recipients.

Expiry options

The maximum duration is 14 days. Once the link expires, it stops working immediately. There is no way to extend or reactivate an expired share link — you will need to generate a new one.

What recipients see

The shared recording view is a full-featured, read-only playback page. Recipients can watch the video, inspect technical data panels, and re-share the link. They cannot edit, delete, or manage the recording in any way.
Which panels are available depends on what data was captured during the recording, which is determined by your domain recording preferences. A recipient will only see Console logs, Network activity, or Actions if those were enabled for the recording’s domain.
The video player with standard playback controls — play, pause, scrub, and speed adjustment. Audio plays back in sync when captured.

Sharing by email

On plans that support outbound email, you can send the share link directly to one or more email addresses from within the sharing modal. Enter each address and click Send. Recipients receive an email with the link and can open it without a Userplane account.

Share with teammates via email

When a public share link expires:
  • The link stops working immediately.
  • Anyone who opens it sees a “Recording link expired” message.
  • The underlying recording is not affected — it remains in your workspace and is fully accessible to your team.
To share the recording again after a link has expired, open the recording and generate a new share link.
