No. Open Access videos are accessible to members and non-members alike. No special link or invitation is necessary, and your friends and family can pass links along to their friends.

If you have videos you’d like to share with a large audience, or if you’d like your friends and family to pass your videos along to others, then yes.

• Contacts don’t have to register to see your Protected videos if you send them an invitation.

When you copy and paste the URL of a protected video from your browser’s address bar, your recipient will have to sign in or create an account to verify that he or she is on your Contact List. However, when you use Motionbox share links, we send your Contact a special invitation to access your videos without having to sign up or sign in.

Your friends and family can share your Protected videos, but their recipients will have to sign in or create an account to verify that they’re on your Contact List. They won’t be able to see your video if they’re not on your list, but they can send you a request to be added.
