# Sharing & Public Access

Public links provide a simple "tap-and-go" experience so you can easily share your live stream with public viewers.

The Public Link can be copied to provide view-only access to the current stream, or within the options dialog you can click 'Copy Embed Code' to generate a small HTML snippet that can be copy-pasted into any other website if you prefer to show your stream there. Click 'Reset Public Link' and anybody watching will be elegantly dismissed, then a new public link will be generated:

Sharing with a stranger? Try a **Single-Use Public Link**. These ultra-secure links can be accessed one time ONLY and expire 48 hours after creation. You can create as many as you need on the fly.

You can also click **QR** wherever you see it to get a scannable QR code for the public link, which makes sharing even easier:

Note: Resetting the public link resets **only** the public link itself and the embedded playback link. Advanced playback links like HLS & SRT are only reset when you reset the stream key for the channel. For maximum security, the best practice between streams is to stop your encoder, reset **both** the public link and the stream key for the channel, then start again with the new stream key.
