3. Click the toggle to open the settings.

4. Configure the following:

Share url - Type the share URL that will override the current page sharing. If desired, you can add {entryId} to the address, for example: https://mycompanymediaspace.com/media/{entryId}, and the link updates according to the entry ID of the video being played.
Embed url - This URL generates a link that dynamically updates based on the entry ID of the video being played. Type the embed URL in the following format:
{embedBaseUrl}/p/{partnerId}/embedPlaykitJs/uiconf_id/{uiConfId}?iframeembed=true&entry_id={entryId}
Share clip - This enables the user to share a segment of a video by choosing Share clip and then selecting the start and end position of the segment they want to share.
Start at - This enables the user to share the link and initiate playback at the designated time.
Use native share - Choose whether the native share dialog of the device is used.
Social networks - You can define included networks, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), email, and embed.

5. Click Save at the top right of the settings page.
