What verification data includes
When enabled by the uploader, the receiver may see technical information such as upload date, expiration date, file size and SHA-256 hash. These values help identify the exact uploaded file.
The SHA-256 hash is a digital fingerprint. If the file changes, the hash changes. That makes it useful for checking file integrity.
When it is useful
- When reporting a bug and you want to identify the exact recording.
- When sending a visual proof to a client.
- When support needs to know whether a file changed.
- When you want a more professional technical record.
What it does not prove
- It does not prove who recorded the video.
- It does not prove that the content is true.
- It does not prove what happened before upload.
- It is not a legal certification service.
Important: call it verification data, not legal certification.
Why it should be optional
Not every sender wants to reveal technical metadata. For private or sensitive videos, keeping this panel hidden by default is better. For professional or technical videos, enabling it can add useful context.
FAQ
What is SHA-256?
It is a cryptographic hash that works like a fingerprint of the file.
Should I show it to every receiver?
No. Enable it only when it helps the purpose of the video.
Can it replace a signed document?
No. It is technical information, not a legal signature.
