Upload and organize private videos

Upload videos to a private library and group them into Collections so related recordings stay together. This keeps your archive organized and makes it easier to manage replayable content over time.

Control who sees your videos

Set access at the video or Collection level so only selected viewers can watch. Private-by-default settings and explicit access controls prevent videos from appearing in public feeds or recommendation systems.

Stream and preserve for replay

Private videos can be streamed on the web or on Roku TV, providing a calm TV-friendly viewing option. Storing videos in one organized place replaces scattered downloads, email attachments, or temporary links for long-term replayability.
