# Social sharing Let viewers share the video on social networks, copy a direct link, or grab an embed code. ## Open Video UI Tip: open your browser's developer console and use the `player` and `THEOplayer` variables to interact with this demo. This example adds a share button to the `top-control-bar` that opens a `theoplayer-menu` with share links, a direct link and an embed code.
