Frequently Asked Questions
-
How is this service different from video embed options or emailing the video link?
- When sending an email, you still need to send the YouTube or Vimeo link. Embedded video on sites still shows related videos and extra distracting functionalities. Our service provides a unique combination of the ability to view the video with minimum distraction as well as the ability to crop distracting scenes within the video!
-
But YouTube and Vimeo provides offensive video filtering already?
- Yes. However it does not work well. Even when it does work, there are still tons of distracting links to other videos and other elements cluttering the area around the video player!
-
Do SafeShare.tv links expire?
- No. They never expire.
-
Is there a way to embed the cropped video rather than rely on a link?
- Not at the moment, but we're planning to add embed support. Stay tuned!
-
Sometimes the links do not load for me. Why is that?
- If this is always the case, there is a big chance that you are using an incompatible browser. SafeShare.tv is compatible with most modern browsers. Try with another browser or upgrade to the latest version of your current browser. If you continue to have issues, please click here to contact support as the issue might be related with something else.
-
Will this site still work in a school where YouTube or Vimeo is blocked?
- The answer is heavily depending on how your school configured their proxy filtering. If you believe that your school network is blocking you from watching SafeShare videos, please ask your IT department to contact us
-
Is it legal to use SafeShare.tv?
- Absolutely. SafeShare.tv only uses authorized YouTube developer tools.
-
Does using SafeView make video views increase on YouTube/Vimeo?
- No. In order to keep you 100% safe, we use a technology which prevents video views from increasing on the original videos.
-
What can I do, as a content creator, if I don't want my videos to be available on SafeShare?
- Please fill this form and we'll block the videos once we review your submission.
