Hey MSS2, and welcome to our Community. 

 

Using Send and track is what I’d also suggest based on what you’ve mentioned in your post; with this feature, you can send a link to your videos and users can access it directly. After that, you should be able to see advanced analytics on the file in question, like when it was viewed and for how long. 

 

On top of that, you shouldn’t be able to see the names of the viewers, unless you require them to enter their email address.

 

Please give it a go and let me know if there’s something more you’d like me to clarify or if you have any further questions on this Help Center article.

 

Keep me in the loop.
