This articles describes how to share direct links to recordings and files within your Kaltura Live Room. All you need to do is turn link sharing on, copy the link, then share it with your contacts.
By default, your Kaltura recordings and uploaded files are NOT available via a direct link. Only enabling or turning link share on will allow direct link access to your uploaded files.

- Click Files in your live room.
- Navigate your files to find the file you want to share.

Valid Links
Clicking a direct link to shared file takes you to a branded Live room page with an embedded file viewer (as shown below).
Invalid Links
Direct links to shared files are only valid as long as the sharer leaves link sharing enabled for the selected file. If you click a link and see a message that the link is no longer valid, then contact the sharer to get an updated link.
