How to share a HeyGen video and see who watched it
HeyGen makes the video. ArtifactSend sends it as a link with a door you choose, and tells you who watched which parts. Both connect to the same AI app, so one request in the chat makes the video and sends it.
Free here, side by side
Everything here is free on ArtifactSend, with no limits on documents, links, readers or team members. The same set costs $150 a month on DocSend, or $1,800 a year.

The short answer
Connect HeyGen and ArtifactSend to the same AI app. Ask it to make the video with HeyGen and send it with ArtifactSend. When the video is ready, HeyGen returns its download address, and ArtifactSend turns that into a private link with a player. You then see each viewer by email, how much they watched and where they stopped.
Making the video uses the credits on your HeyGen plan. Sharing it and the watch report are free.
What you need
- The HeyGen connector. Its address is https://mcp.heygen.com/mcp/v1/ and you sign in with OAuth, with no API key. HeyGen's documentation says it works on all HeyGen plans and draws on your plan's credits.
- The ArtifactSend connector at https://artifactsend.com/mcp. It is free.
- An AI app that takes connectors, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.
Steps in Claude or ChatGPT
- Add both connectors in your AI app's connector settings and sign in to each one.
- Ask for the video, for example "Make a 60-second product walkthrough for Acme with my HeyGen avatar".
- HeyGen renders it. The AI checks progress with HeyGen's get_video tool, which returns the video's address once it is done.
- Ask the AI to share it, for example "Send it with ArtifactSend, only people at acme.com can open it". The AI passes the address to ArtifactSend's send_artifact as video_url.
- Copy the link the AI gives you and send it in your email or message.
You can say all of it at once. "Make a 60-second walkthrough with my HeyGen avatar, then send it with ArtifactSend so only acme.com can watch, and email me when it is opened."
One personal video per prospect
Personal videos work best when you know who watched. Make one video per prospect, or one video for many, and ask for a link per person. ArtifactSend's link_for_person tool gives each person their own link with their name on it, so each report is theirs alone.
Then ask "who watched the Acme video to the end?" or "where did Dana stop?". The AI answers from link_report.
What you see after they watch
- Each viewer by email, with every visit.
- How much of the video each one watched, such as 2:14 of 3:05 (72%).
- The parts each viewer skipped and the parts they watched again.
- For everyone, how many viewers watched each part of the video, and where most of them stopped.
- An email when someone opens it for the first time, if you want one.
Why not send HeyGen's download link?
HeyGen's video address is a file download meant for the app that asked for it. HeyGen's own documentation tells apps to ask again to refresh an expired address, so a link pasted into an email can stop working. It also tells you nothing about who watched.
An ArtifactSend link keeps playing, opens only for the people you pick, and reports each viewer. Google Drive can play a video too, but its activity view only names viewers inside some work or school accounts.
From Claude Code or a terminal
Add both servers, then sign in to each with /mcp. claude mcp add --transport http heygen https://mcp.heygen.com/mcp/v1/ and claude mcp add --transport http artifactsend https://artifactsend.com/mcp.
If the video is already a file on your computer, ask Claude Code to share it. ArtifactSend's start_upload tool returns a command that sends the file in parts, with no key in the shell, and prints the link.
Limits
Videos can be mp4, webm or mov, up to 200 MB each. Each space keeps up to 2 GB of video. Links, viewers and reports are free and unlimited.
Ask for the share soon after HeyGen finishes, while its address is fresh. If it has expired, ask the AI to get the video from HeyGen again.
Can I share a HeyGen video with a password or an expiry date?
Yes. Ask for an email door, a Google or email-code door, a list of allowed emails or domains, an expiry date, or a password set in the app. Downloads stay off unless you turn them on.
