Key Features

Rich video previews in Slack Paste any Lumen5 video link into a Slack message and it automatically unfurls into a rich preview showing the title, thumbnail, and key details — no extra clicks required.

Seamless workspace integration Connect Lumen5 to Slack in a few clicks from your Lumen5 account. Once authorized, link unfurling works across every channel and DM in your workspace.

Secure by design The integration uses Slack's OAuth flow and respects existing Lumen5 sharing permissions, so private videos stay private and only authorized viewers see previews.

What you can do

Share videos without breaking flow Drop a Lumen5 link into any channel and your team instantly sees what the video is about, cutting down on back-and-forth and "what's this?" replies.

Keep review cycles moving Stakeholders can preview videos directly in Slack threads, making feedback loops faster and reducing the friction of opening new tabs.

Showcase work across your team Turn Slack channels into a lightweight gallery of your team's video output, helping content reach the people who need to see it.
