A Link Travels To Facebook, The Video Never Does
Nothing leaves the portal when a viewer shares. A share control in the player posts a link to Facebook, and the recording stays where it was published, under the access rule it already had. That is the whole mechanism, and it is worth stating first because the word sharing suggests a copy being handed over. On a portal built on Nexus positioned as the Enterprise Video Platform, what the control does is let somebody who watched a public recording put it in front of the people who already listen to them.
What you can do together
Give a viewer one control
Somebody watching a public recording on Nexus posts the link to their own Facebook feed without leaving the player.
Reach the feed you cannot buy your way into
A link passed on by a neighbor lands among family, friends and the local groups they belong to, which is a different audience from the one that visits an institution's own page.
Keep restricted material out of circulation
The control works only on content already published publicly, so nothing internal can travel this way.
Decide per portal whether the control exists
A public portal can carry it while a staff portal does not, because the setting belongs to each portal separately.
How it connects
Social sharing is a portal setting. An administrator turns it on for a portal, and the share control then appears in the player, delivered as a JavaScript widget, the connection method the catalog names for this record. Where the setting is off, the player carries no share control at all, which is how an internal portal goes without one.
The control acts on content that is already published publicly. Because only public content can be shared, pressing it cannot widen access to anything: a person who follows the link from Facebook sees what any member of the public could already see. Restricted material is simply not shareable, so the real control is the decision made when the item was published rather than anything in the player.
What travels is a link. The video file never leaves the portal, so there is no copy on Facebook to keep track of, and the content's retention and access rules stay where they were set. Turning sharing on is a configuration change to a portal, not a change to who may see what.

A scenario
- SetupThe portal administrator turns on social media sharing for the public portal, and the share control appears in the player for everyone who watches there.
- ThursdayThe digital team publishes the evening curator talk on the new textiles exhibit as public content. A donor briefing recorded the same week is kept restricted.
- Friday, 19:10A visitor watches the talk at home, presses the share control and posts a link to her Facebook feed. The recording itself stays on the museum's portal.
- SaturdayHer friends follow the link and watch the talk at its source. They reach that talk and nothing more, and the donor briefing offers no share control because it was never published publicly.
- The month afterThe museum leaves sharing on for the public portal and off for its staff training portal, since the setting is made per portal.
What stays where
Facebook receives a link
The video file stays in Nexus. Nothing is uploaded to Facebook and no copy of the recording is made there.
The content's own access setting decides
Only content already published publicly can be shared, so a viewer pressing the control cannot widen access to anything restricted. Because the single copy is the one in the portal, whatever that item's access says later is what a person following the link meets.
The portal decides whether the control appears
Sharing is enabled per portal, and turning it off removes the control from the player rather than changing what anyone may watch.
The video sits where the portal sits
Shared SaaS, a dedicated cloud or your own datacenter, and posting a link changes none of that.
