Team-only and private comments

Web appMac appUpdated September 2, 20261 min read

You often need two conversations on the same video: one with the client, one with your editor. The Team only switch in the comment box decides which one you are having.

Steps

  1. Write the comment as usual.
  2. Turn on Team only — the switch next to Send, marked with a padlock.
  3. Send.

The comment lands on the same timeline as everything else, marked Private, and stays visible to your workspace only.

Who sees a team-only comment

Viewer Sees it
Workspace members and the video owner Yes
Client contacts in the portal No
Visitors on a share link No
Marker exports (Premiere / DaVinci) Only when exported by a workspace member

A team-only note is not merely hidden on screen: it does not reach the client side at all — not in the portal, not in an export, not in an email.

Replies have their own setting

A reply carries its own visibility. The reply box has a Team / Public toggle, so you can answer a client’s public comment with an internal note under it — or the other way round.

Warning: The switch remembers your last choice inside the comment box for that session. Glance at it before sending the first comment of a review.

Mentions inside a private note

Mentioning someone on a team-only comment only reaches workspace members. Client contacts and the client group are not notified, because they cannot open the comment in the first place.

Share a video link covers who gets access to the video at all.

Frequently asked questions

Can a client accidentally see an internal note?
No. Team-only comments are stripped out before they reach anyone outside your workspace — link visitors, portal contacts and the marker exports included.
Can a client write a private comment?
No. Only workspace members can. Anything a visitor sends is public to everyone with access.
