After you sign up with a video hosting provider ( see 89 Select a Video Hosting Provider ), Movie Maker can send your movies to the Web for all to see. When you send your movies to the Web once instead of sending it to several users through email, you help decrease Web traffic and the congestion it causes, reduce the strain on your friends ' and families' email inboxes, and help ensure that more people can successfully view your movies.

With that address, they can watch your movie from any Internet connection in the world. - Select File, Save Movie File
