One of the most exciting features for creators and partners on OnlineChannel.TV is Screener Access—a simple but powerful tool that lets you share your content before it officially goes live.

Whether you’re a filmmaker looking for early feedback, a brand previewing a special, or a producer showcasing a pilot to potential sponsors, Screener Access makes pre-releasing your work both professional and secure.

Here’s how it works—and how you can make the most of it.

What is Screener Access?

Screener Access lets you share a private preview of your content with select individuals before it is published to the public-facing OCTV library. It’s ideal for:

• Press previews and critic reviews

• Internal team feedback

• Sponsor and brand partner viewings

• Casting agents and festival juries

• Focus group testing

Instead of uploading your video somewhere generic and hoping for the best, Screener Access keeps things organized, branded, and protected.

Secure & Professional Sharing

We understand that unreleased content needs protection. That’s why our screener links include:

• Password protection (optional but recommended)

• Time-limited access

• Watermarking (customizable per user)

• View tracking so you know who’s watched it and when

No more worrying about leaks or unauthorized downloads—just seamless, professional content sharing.

How to Use It

Getting started with Screener Access is easy:

1. Upload your content as usual through the OCTV Creator Dashboard.

2. Navigate to the “Screeners” tab under your video settings.

3. Generate a unique screener link, set expiration, permissions, and watermarks.

4. Send the link to your selected viewers—press, colleagues, partners, etc.

You can revoke access or update permissions at any time. Want to update the video file after feedback? No problem—the link stays the same.

Pro Tips for Creators

• Include a feedback form: Add a Typeform or Google Form link below the video to collect thoughts.

• Use custom branding: OCTV allows screener pages to reflect your logo and style.

• Label clearly: Add “PRE-RELEASE” or “FOR REVIEW ONLY” slates at the start of your video for clarity.

• Track engagement: Use the built-in analytics to follow up with anyone who hasn’t watched yet.

Ready to Launch Smarter

Screener Access isn’t just about previews—it’s a strategic tool to build buzz, gather feedback, and polish your project before release day. Whether you’re testing titles, collecting testimonials, or pitching to networks, OCTV gives you the tools to stay in control.

If you’re a creator, brand, or distributor on OnlineChannel.TV, Screener Access is your behind-the-scenes superpower.
