📌 Workspaces are only available to our Enterprise plans customer.

Self-serve users can invite a limited number of guests to comment on individual videos, but each self-serve account is limited to a single user.

To see the guest limits per plan see the How many Guests can I have in my Synthesia account? article

Add a Guest to a video

Users can invite a guest user by sharing a video with the guests’ email.

  1. Navigate to the overview page, click Invite in the upper right corner of the page. Alternatively, on the video list page in your Workspace / My Videos page

  2. Click the the three-dot menu for your video and select Invite.

  3. Enter the email address of the guest user.

  4. Choose the guest's permission level:

    • Full Access

    • Can Edit

    • Can Comment.

  5. Click Invite.

  6. In the Invite new user modal, select Invite as a guest.

  7. Click on Invite as a guest.


What happens next?

When the guest invitation is sent out, the new user receives an email invite:

  • If the invitee does not have a Synthesia account, they will be directed to the account creation screen.

  • If the invitee already has an account (or just created one), they will immediately become a guest of the workspace. The shared video will then appear on their Shared with Me page

💬 FAQs

Can admins control who is allowed to invite guests?

Yes. Admins can enable or disable guest invitations for workspace users in the Security Settings.

What happens if I try to invite a guest with an email from an allowed domain?

If your workspace has an allowed domain configured and the guest’s email matches it, the user cannot be added as a guest. Instead, they’ll be prompted to join as a full workspace member.
