Sharing

Short answer: Sharing starts closed. In the panel, on the video's Share page, you create a link that stays open for 7, 30 or 90 days; whoever opens the link sees the video, the source cards and the evidence report without opening an account. You close the link whenever you like, and once it is closed, the person who opens it cannot see the video. The same page has WhatsApp, X and LinkedIn buttons, a player code to embed the video on your own site, the vertical 9:16 download, a quiz with a participation certificate and, on paid plans, a SCORM 1.2 package for an LMS.

How do I create a share link, and how do I close it?

A share link starts closed; you decide who can see the video. On the video's Share page in the panel there is a “New share link” form: under Validity you choose 7, 30 or 90 days.

Before it creates the link the form shows a warning and asks you to tick the box under it: “I understand that anyone who opens this link will see verbatim excerpts from the document.” Until you tick it, the “Create link” button does not work. So what you share is not only the video: whoever watches also sees the source cards, which are verbatim quotes from the document, and the evidence report. Share the link only with people for whom seeing those quotes is not a problem.

If you also want the document itself to be openable, tick “Let the uploaded document itself be opened too”; the share page then has an “Open the source document” link (the visitor page is in Turkish: “Kaynak belgeyi aç”). If you do not tick it, the document is not shared and only the quotes are visible.

The address is shown once, at the moment you create it; the panel's own note says: “This address is shown only now; we do not store it. If you lose it, close this one and create a new one.” Take it then with the “Copy” button next to it.

To close a link, look at the “Links” list on the Share page. Each row shows when the link was created, when it ends and its status (Open, Closed, Expired); the “Close” button appears only on an open link. When you close one the panel says “The link was closed. Whoever opened it can no longer see the video.”

Whoever opens a closed or expired link cannot see the video. The page (in Turkish) shows the heading “Bağlantı kapatıldı” (“Link closed”) with “Videoyu paylaşan kişi bu bağlantıyı kapattı. Yeni bir bağlantı isteyebilirsiniz.” (the person who shared the video closed this link; you can ask for a new one), or, if it expired, the heading “Bağlantının süresi doldu” (“The link has expired”) with “Bu videoyu paylaşan kişiden yeni bir bağlantı isteyebilirsiniz.” (you can ask the person who shared this video for a new link). Closing cannot be undone.

If the quiz is on and people have taken it, closing the link, or its expiry, deletes those records and the document files; the verification code is no longer verified from then on.

Which channels does the share page have?

Whoever opens a share link does not open an account or install anything. On the page they get:

• The player and the source cards: the video, and under it verbatim quotes from the document.
• The evidence report: which page and line each sentence of the video comes from. If the PDF version is ready, a “Download PDF” link appears too.
• Open the source document: shown only if you ticked, when you created the link, that the document may be opened too.
• Download vertical (9:16): appears when the vertical cut is ready.
• Take the quiz: appears if you turned the quiz on.

The page's own “Share” section has three channel buttons: WhatsApp, X and LinkedIn. They open that platform's share window with the link ready in it. There is no ready-made button for Instagram or TikTok: you download the vertical file and upload it there yourself.

The fourth option is a link box: a read-only field labelled “Link” (“Bağlantı” on the visitor page). This page has no one-tap copy button; you select the address and copy it.

At the bottom of the page the link's expiry date is written (in Turkish): “Bu bağlantı … tarihine kadar geçerli. Zıpır · zipirapp.com” (“This link is valid until … . Zıpır · zipirapp.com”).

How do I use it on WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is often the easiest way to reach a Turkish-speaking audience: the person who opens the link sees the video in their phone's browser, with no app to install and no account to open. What follows is not a set of rules but usage tips that work.

• Status or group: write a sentence and add the link. As long as you do not close the link, someone who opens it later still sees the video.
• Send the vertical (9:16) file along: if you want to send it as a video in WhatsApp, download the vertical cut and attach it to the message. The vertical video does not use your minutes. But a video that goes as a file shows no source cards and no evidence report, and even if you close the link, the file on the other person's phone is not deleted.
• If there is a quiz, the video file will not do: the quiz and the participation certificate work only on the share page, not in a downloaded file. If you are going to send a video with a quiz on WhatsApp, share the link.
• If the link has been closed: the viewer sees “Bağlantı kapatıldı” (“Link closed”) or “Bağlantının süresi doldu” (“The link has expired”) and can ask you for a new link.

Before you share: whoever opens the link sees verbatim quotes from the document; take that into account when you share a video made from a customer's or confidential document. If you also ticked that the document itself may be shared, all the quotes are open.

How do I add the video to my own site?

You can get the embed code only at the moment you create the link: the address and the code are shown once, in the same form. When the video is ready, an “Add to your site” section appears, with an “Embed code” and a “Copy the code” button.

The panel's own note in this section says: “Paste this code into your own site and the video plays there in a plain player (without source cards or the evidence report). Closing the link or letting it expire also closes the player.”

The player is a plain box: the video, the cover and a small “Zıpır · zipirapp.com” link. If you turned the quiz on, a “Take the quiz” link appears beside it. Nothing else shows: the source cards and the evidence report are not in the embedded player; they stay on the share page. The player is closed to search engines and uses no cookies.

The code is an iframe, so it works only on sites that accept iframes. Some publishing systems and page builders block iframes; then the player does not show.

How do I download the vertical (9:16) video?

The Share page of a finished video has a “Vertical video (9:16)” section. When you press “Make the vertical video”, the 1080 × 1920 version of the video is made in the background, usually in a minute or two; when it is ready, “Download vertical (9:16)” appears.

The cut has a brand strip on top, the video in the middle, and a large caption and the source line below. The caption stays above the controls that the phone and the app put at the very bottom of the screen. The vertical video does not use your minutes and does not make the video again.

On the free plan the brand strip says zipirapp.com; on paid plans it does not. Whoever opens the share link gets the same file through the “Download vertical (9:16)” link on the page. There is no ready-made send button for Instagram or TikTok; you upload the file you downloaded there yourself.

How do I add a quiz and a participation certificate?

A pool of 10 questions is prepared from the verified sentences of the video; each attempt draws 5 questions at random from the pool, and the order of the choices is shuffled. Every question is tied to a sentence in the document. You preview the questions with their sources, and when they are ready you press “Turn the quiz on”.

The quiz starts off. It does not appear on the share page until you turn it on, and you turn it off whenever you like. Preparing the quiz and turning it on do not use your minutes.

Whoever opens the link takes the quiz by writing their name, with no account. Someone who answers at least 4 of the 5 questions correctly gets a Zıpır participation certificate (PDF) in their name: the certificate has the name, the video, the date, the result, the source document and a verification code, and the code can be checked at /dogrula. Someone who does not pass is not shown the right choices; only the source sentences of the questions they got wrong are shown. The quiz can be retaken without limit; at each new attempt, a different subset of questions is tried for.

This is a Zıpır participation certificate. It does not replace a statutory training record or certificate, such as one required for occupational health and safety, and it says so at the bottom of the certificate. It is a participation record that the video was watched and the questions were answered; it is not an exam or a competency result.

The name, score and time that people write when they take the quiz are shown only to you, in the panel; you can download the list as CSV. When the share link closes or expires, these records and the certificate files are deleted; the verification code is no longer verified from then on. For the data of the people who take the quiz, the KVKK notice applies.

How do I download the SCORM 1.2 package for an LMS?

The SCORM package is on the Studio and Team plans. In the “Download for an LMS (SCORM 1.2)” section of the Share page you press “Prepare the SCORM package”; the package downloads as a single zip file. It holds a manifest file, the video page, the video and the cover; the page asks for nothing from outside.

If the end-of-video quiz is on, the package asks 5 questions drawn at random from the pool of 10 at each attempt and reports the score to the LMS; if it is not on, it reports “completed” when the video ends. Preparing the package does not use your minutes. Videos over 30 minutes are too long for the package. On the free plan this section only says that a paid plan is needed.

This is a SCORM 1.2 package and it was tested in Rustici's SCORM Cloud engine (completion at the end of the video, and the score and passed record in the quiz, were written correctly). We have not tried other LMSs yet; if you have trouble uploading it, write to us. The package holds no participant data and does not give a Zıpır participation certificate: the LMS writes the result to its own record.
