Grab the URL of your video

There might be a circumstance where you need to locate and use the actual source URL of the file located on our cloud, typically in .mp4 format. Some customers need the actual location of the video inside of our infrastructure to add the URL to their third-party platform.

If you uploaded your video with the encryption set to ON (which is the default setting) then you'll see 2 links here like this:

The one labeled "Processed Video Source" is the video that was encoded and processed by Spotlightr. If you are encrypting your videos this will be an .m3u8 file type.
