Setting a personalized URL for a reel

Paid customers are able to create personalized URLs for reels (this option is not available to in-trial or free users).

When you create a new Share Link, it gets assigned a unique URL that looks something like "play.reelcrafter.com/ZIc3I0qnTr6FzPiDkItN2g". You may prefer this since it's harder for someone to guess the URL for reels you might have, but in some cases, you might want to make it quick to read or easier to recall. Personalized URLs are great for this reason.

Set your username

The first time you attempt to add a personalized URL you will be prompted to choose a username for your reels.

Clicking on the "Claim your username" link will open your Reel Settings where you can enter your public username. Your username will be in all of your personalized URLs moving forward, so DO NOT pick something specific to a particular reel. Your name or business name is always a good option.

Create your personalized URL

Now that your username is set, to create your personalized URL:

1. Navigate to your reel’s Share Link settings by clicking the gear icon next to the link name on the reel detail page
2. Click in the text field for the personalized URL and enter a name for that particular share link URL
3. Make sure to click “Save and Close” to apply the URL
