Share video with clients using one link, not an attachment.
To share a video with a client, send them a review link instead of a file. They open it in a browser, the video streams — nothing to download before they can watch — and they comment and approve without creating an account or installing anything.
In VoiceDeck, upload the cut, generate a link, and send it. Your client is asked for a name only at the moment they first write something; email is optional. Everything they say comes back to one place, attached to the file and the version it was about.
An attachment, a transfer link, or a review link.
Email attachments are the first thing everyone tries and the first thing that fails: video is heavy, mail servers reject it, and if it does arrive the notes come back as a reply with times typed from memory.
A generic file-transfer link is a genuine improvement at moving bytes, and nothing more. Your client still waits for a download before they can watch, still writes their notes somewhere else, and the approval — if it happens — lives in whoever's inbox received it.
Approvals are kept per person, per version — a v1 approval never carries to v2.
No account for them is not no control for you.
A link is scoped to a whole project, a single folder, or a chosen set of files, and you decide what it permits. Add a passphrase, set an expiry, turn downloads off for a review-only share, or revoke it outright when the job is over. Each client sees only their own thread with you.
Notes on the moment, and a sign-off you can point at.
Comments pin to the exact moment they were made about, so "the cut at the door" stops being a guess — see timestamped video comments for how that works from the client's side. When the cut changes, upload it as a new version to the same file and the earlier round stays on the record.
Approval is an explicit act, recorded against a named person and a specific version — not a silence you interpret later. And when the work is signed off, the approved originals are handed over from the same link the client already knows, which is also the honest answer to sending large video files.
Video, audio, images, and PDF all travel on the same link, so a client learns one surface for the whole deliverable set. Reviewers are unlimited on every tier; storage is the only meter.
