Soundcloud	See → Sharing a private Soundcloud track	Secret links have tokens (some extra numbers that make your link unique, unsearchable and unguessable) at the end of your track’s URL, so anyone with the secret link will be able to listen toyour track.
VidGrid	See → Sharing a VidGrid link	Before sharing your video, make sure to set up your permissions to specify who can see specific videos.
Prezi	See → Sharing a Prezi view link	A view link allows anyone with the link to view, but not edit, a presentation.
Khan Academy	See YouTube above.	Khan Academy videos are posted to YouTube. Use the same process for sharing a YouTube link.
Spotify	See → Share music from Spotify	The share feature will share a playlist even if you’ve made it secret. The recipient can view, play, and follow it, and they can share with others who can also view, play, follow, and share it. If you’ve set the playlist to be collaborative, any recipient can also edit the playlist.
Genial.ly	See → Share a Genially interactive	A Genially must be published in order for it to be shared.
Nearpod	See → Generate a Nearpod code	You must launch a Nearpod session to generate a code. Once a code is generated, you can select the link to embed in an Ultra document. NearPod self-paced lessons expire after 30 days unless you choose to extend them.
