How to Share Videos Without Compression

Struggling to send large video files? Learn how to record and share videos without compression or downloads, with async link sharing via the Dutch Videolink.

Everyone knows the problem: you record a video, but when you try to send it…

  • Your email says: “file too large”
  • WhatsApp or Slack make your video blurry
  • ⏳ Uploading to Drive or WeTransfer takes ages

And that’s a shame, because:
80% of users drop off if a video loads slowly or buffers. That’s why you want to share video without compression, downloads, or waiting.

With async tools like Videolink you can share your video via a direct link, without quality loss or technical barriers.

Why Are Videos Compressed?

When you share video via email, WhatsApp, or Slack:

  • The resolution is automatically lowered
  • Audio and picture quality deteriorate
  • Recipients often have to download or convert

Platforms like WhatsApp cap videos at about ±16 MB, email at 25 MB. That’s rarely enough for a screen recording or demo.

Result: frustration, repetition, delay.

What’s the Smartest Solution?

Use a tool that:

  • Works in the browser
  • Doesn’t generate a file
  • Streams videos directly via an async link
  • Doesn’t apply compression or require downloads

This is exactly what Videolink delivers – fast, clear, without quality loss.

Why Async Link Sharing Works

Instead of uploading a file, you share a link to a streamable video. Simple.

  • No compression
  • No installation or login
  • No file-size limits
  • Original quality is preserved

In 2025, video streaming will reach a market value of $776 billion, driven by demand for fast, high quality, and smooth playback without stutter. At the same time, video content already represents a third of all online activity. More than 55% of people watch online videos daily, often on mobile – and share them too.

That’s why it’s crucial your video is always sharp, instantly playable, and effortless to share.

How It Works with Videolink

  1. Record screen, camera, or both – directly in the browser
  2. Videolink automatically generates an async link
  3. Your team or customer clicks, watches, done – including on mobile

92% of users watch videos on mobile and share them with others. Compression or downloads create unnecessary hurdles. Videolink removes those entirely.
