Why should I use Descript to share a video link instead of YouTube, Google Drive, etc.?
YouTube and cloud storage solutions like Google Drive are great for hosting and sharing videos, but Descript offers a video hosting service and video link generation as part of an all-in-one video editor. You can not only upload videos, but create them from scratch to generate shareable links you can edit after the fact without creating a new video link URL.
Do I need to create a new video link if I want to update my video?
Descript’s link generator for videos allows you to update your videos as often as you want, even replace it with a new video, and still maintain the same video link URL. You no longer need to worry about searching for “final-final-version-14” of your video projects to share them with your contacts.
