Share lesson videos with a link, no friction
Upload your video to WeTransfer and get a unique download link you can post anywhere your learners already are. Paste it into a learning management system, a staff email, or a class chat thread, and recipients click to download without creating an account.
One link, instant access
Educators sharing video content face a familiar problem: platforms compress uploads, email attachments bounce back, and students end up with something that looks worse than what was recorded. WeTransfer sends your video files exactly as you made them, with no re-encoding and no resolution loss, so a 4K lecture recording or a high-quality tutorial arrives in the same condition it left your device. Every upload generates a unique download link you can paste into Moodle, Canvas, Google Classroom, or a simple email, and anyone with the link can download or preview the video straight from their browser. If you are sharing content that should stay within your institution, you can add a password to the link or restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, keeping sensitive instructional material away from unintended viewers. Folder uploads also work as expected, so a full video series or a structured course module travels with its original folder layout intact.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Go to wetransfer.com, sign in or create a free account, and upload your video file. Once the upload finishes, WeTransfer generates a unique download link you can copy and paste into an email, a learning management system, or any messaging tool your students use. Recipients click the link and download directly in their browser, no account needed on their end.
No. WeTransfer does not re-encode or compress video files during transfer, so a 4K lecture recording, a screen-capture tutorial, or a high-resolution demonstration video arrives exactly as you uploaded it. This matters in education where playback clarity and audio sync are important for learning.
WeTransfer handles any video format you work with, including MP4, MOV, and other common formats used in education production and recording. You can also preview MP4 and MOV files (up to 300 MB each) directly in the browser, so students can watch before deciding to download the full file.
Yes. Recipients can open an in-browser preview for supported video formats, which is useful when you have shared a pack of multiple recordings and a student only needs one session. They can also leave comments on individual files in the preview, which opens a straightforward way to gather feedback on instructional content.
Before sending, you can add a password to the link so only people who know it can download the video, which works well for keeping assessment walkthroughs or internal training recordings out of wider circulation. You can also restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so the link only opens for verified recipients on your list. Both options are available on all WeTransfer plans.
