Have you ever wanted make a video private so that it can't be searched for on your video sharing site, but still embed it on your website? Here is how...

1) Upload your video to Viddler.com
2) Click Edit Sharing Options
3) Give the video privacy setting "Just You." This prevents anyone else from seeing your video.
4) Click Enable next to Secret URL
5) Copy the Secret URL code
6) Click Embed This
7) Choose your player type and size options
8) Copy and paste the embed code from your video into your blog
9) Find the "secreturl" part of your Secret URL code from Step 5. http:// www. viddler. com/explore/your-username/videos/1/?secreturl=123456789
10) Edit your Embed This code from Step 8

* You're going to be adding "0/yoursecretcode" to the end of two parts of the embed code. This allows your private video to be embedded publicly. Be sure to update the code for both the movie PARAM and the EMBED.

So this will work, but I found that if you get a lot of traffic, viddler will start putting ads on your videos. To block this, there is a parameter that says "AllowScriptAccess='always'". Change this to never. It actually appears twice, make sure you change it in both places.

And that's it. Free video hosting for you Enjoy.

    Cool tip . . . thanks. I knew you could do this (and add password protection) at Blip.tv by upgrading to their Pro account, but this is the first time I've seen how you can do it for free.

    I love viddler players. They are clean and neat. The only thing is my account got overused and now they have dropped my speed so it's unusable.

    Might have to change account:-)
