Share large video files privately
To share large video files privately, upload them to a private streaming archive, group related videos into Collections, and grant access only to the people you choose. This avoids email attachment limits, temporary transfer hassles, and public social-media feeds while letting viewers stream on the web or Roku TV.

Upload and share large video files
Instead of compressing files or sending bulky attachments, upload your video files to a private streaming archive and share them with specific people. That lets recipients stream videos without managing large downloads or temporary transfer links.
Organize and control access with private Collections
Group multiple videos into private Collections so related footage—like weddings, training sessions, or season highlights—lives together. Collections are private by default and keep your videos out of public feeds and social-media comment streams.
Calm, TV-friendly playback on web and Roku
Shared videos can be streamed on a browser and on Roku TV for a relaxed, living-room viewing experience. This makes it easy for families, teams, and groups to watch large videos together without public algorithms or distracting feeds.
