Share .ogv files

Share your OGV file in one link

Drop your .ogv file, name the link and send it. It opens straight in their browser — nothing to install, no account to create, no attachment limit.

  • Opens in their browser — nothing to install
  • No attachment limit, no 'request access'
  • Replace it later and the same link shows the new version

Why share a OGV file as a link?

Video is where chat apps do the most damage: they shrink it, recompress it and cap its length. Email won't carry it at all. A link sends the file as you exported it, and for common formats it plays right in the browser — no app, no account, no drive folder.

Usually you'd be sending it to a client, a friend, a teacher or a teammate. They don't need an account, and you don't need to know which app or device they'll open it on.

Here's the OGV file 👇

Tap to open in your browser

Got it, opened fine on my phone 👍

On their side

What the person you send it to sees

They tap the link and the .ogv file (Ogg video) opens right in the browser tab — on a phone, a laptop or a work computer, with nothing to install and no account to make.

What they need

  • A web browser on any phone, tablet or computer — that's it
  • No account, no app, no 'request access'
  • To work with it in an app: Chrome, Firefox and Edge; Safari support is limited

Sending a OGV file: link vs. the usual ways

What happens to a .ogv file when you email it, drop it in a chat or put it in a cloud drive — and what changes when you send a link instead.

Size-limited

Email attachment

Most mail providers cap attachments at roughly 20–25 MB, and every revision means another email.

Recompressed

Chat app

WhatsApp, Messenger and most chat apps recompress video and cap its size, so it arrives blurry or not at all.

Access requests

Cloud drive

Drives often need time to 'process' a video before it plays, and the viewer needs access first.

Opens instantly

A 99helpers link

The original file, byte for byte, at a link you choose. Password it, see how often it's opened, and replace it at the same link whenever you need to.

Sharing takes about ten seconds

  1. 1

    Drop it

    Drag your .ogv file onto the box, or pick it from your computer or phone.

  2. 2

    Name the link

    Choose the words: q3-report.99helpers.site reads better than a random string.

  3. 3

    Send it anywhere

    Paste the link into an email, a chat, a document, a bio or a QR code.

When people share videos like this

03

Handing in coursework

Give a teacher a video that opens instead of an attachment that bounces.

04

Sharing a short clip

Post a link in a group chat without the clip being recompressed.

What people send .ogv files for

  • Video on Wikipedia and open-content projects
  • Open-source software demonstrations
  • Video where licensing matters

Before you share your OGV file

  • Export as MP4 (H.264) if you want it to play in every browser.
  • Trim and compress long recordings to fit the size limit.
  • Check the first frame — it's what people see before pressing play.
  • Use a password for unreleased or private footage.

Sending the link isn't the end of it

An attachment is gone the moment you press send. A link is still yours: you decide who can open it, what it shows and how long it stays.

Fix it after sending

Upload a corrected version to the same link. Everyone who has it sees the new one; old versions are kept.

Keep it private

Add a password so only the people you give it to can open the link.

Know it was opened

See how many times the link has been visited, so you're not left wondering.

Take it back

Delete it and the link stops working — something you can't do with an email attachment.

Sharing OGV files: questions

How do I share a .ogv file?+

Drop it on this page, choose the words for your link, and publish. You get an address like your-name.99helpers.site to paste into an email, a chat, a document or a QR code. It opens in the browser for whoever clicks it.

Does the person I send it to need an account?+

No. They click the link and see the file — no sign-up, no app, no 'request access'.

Can I share an OGV file privately?+

Yes. Add a password when you publish and only people you give it to can open the link. You can also ask for a name and email before the file is shown.

What if I need to change the file after sending the link?+

Upload the new version to the same address. Everyone who has the link gets the update, and the previous versions are kept in case you need one back.

Can I share several OGV files at once?+

Yes. Drop a folder or a .zip instead of a single file and everything goes out under one link, each file at its own address inside it. How much you can upload depends on your plan — the limits are on the pricing page.

Will it play in the browser?+

MP4, WebM and most MOV files play straight in the browser. Other formats download, so export as MP4 if you want everyone to be able to watch.

Will the video be compressed?+

No. It's served exactly as you exported it — unlike chat apps, which recompress video before delivering it.

Sharing something else?

Want it online for good?

If the file should stay at a permanent public address — a download page, an embed, part of a site — see host an Ogg video.
