There are many options for sharing your Animoto video. From the Share page, you can share a link to the play back page, get an embed code, download your video, or email it. Before you can share, you will need to export your video.

Users on the Professional and Professional Plus plans can share a custom play page link, and downloads are only available to users on the Basic plan or higher.
