Right now, one of the best ways to share a video is via a service called Givit. This allows users to share videos only with people that have explicit permission to view it. Many people think social media websites can do the same thing. Of course, that is mostly true. However, it is far too easy to accidentally share the video beyond the intended audience. For example, if a video is marked to be shared with “friends of friends,” it’s possible that a potential employer or background check company might have access to it. And if the video is shared with everyone by accident, the user might not know that has happened until someone mentions it at a job interview. By then it may be too late.
With this service, Private Video Sharing is made easy for the user. The first step is to create an account. Then the next step is to upload the video. Users should try to be patient with the upload process, especially if HD quality video is involved. It can take a long time for a video upload to complete. It’s a good idea to do something else like watch TV while a video is being uploaded. Once the video file transfer has been completed, the next step is to give email addresses of friends and family who should have access to see the video. Those people will be given a link that can be used to watch the video. That is all there is to it. With this method, there is no way to accidentally share the video with the entire world. This is where risque videos should go.
Although Family Video Sharing to everyone on the Internet seems harmless enough, it can also be a way for criminals to gather information. This is especially true if there are tags or descriptions along with the video. It’s best to keep as many things private including pictures and videos.
Although it’s never been easier to share videos and pictures, users need to be careful with respect to sharing. Unfortunately, it’s far too easy to share videos with the wrong people. And the consequences of doing that can be severe.
