MediaLab is designed to give you full control over your media files, with access typically restricted to user accounts. However, there are multiple ways to make your content publicly accessible:

1. Share Links

• Generate a Share Link for specific files, playlists, or folders.
  • To generate a Share Link click on the three dots next to the folder or on the media file and click Public Link
• You can control permissions, such as allowing only viewing or enabling downloads, expiration date or setting a password for access.
• If files are spread across multiple folders, create a playlist and add the files there before sharing.
• Share the generated link publicly via social media, email, or mailing lists.
• Optionally, embed the playlist on your website using the Embed code.

2. Public User with Auto-Login Link

• For sharing entire folder structures or frequently updated media, use a public/shared user account.
• Configure this account with permissions of your choice (e.g., view-only or download access).
• Generate an auto-login link for the shared account.
  • This link can expire after a set period or be revoked at any time.
  • Place the link on your website to grant visitors direct access to your MediaLab content.

3. User Registration module

MediaLab offers a User Registration module that allows users to register and log in to the system. Administrators can choose whether users need approval before they can log in as well as a default user profile can be configured. This module can be requested by contacting the MediaLab service desk.

Note: The auto-login feature is not enabled by default. Contact the MediaLab service desk to activate and configure it.
