I'm a new JW Player Pro user and I simply want to be able to upload my video embed my video on my site (which I've done) but I also want to be able to provide a direct link to the video to particular clients. Where do I find that feature?
Any help is appreciated.

In the "sharing" block, you would just enter the URL to the video itself:
Someone clicking that link would receive the raw video file. The browser will either open it in a new tab, from where the visitor can just save it, or it will offer a choice between opening and downloading it. That's browser-dependent, and difficult to control.

Thanks for your help. I'm still a little bit confused, though. The example that Randy provided was awesome but it used a YouTube video. The video I'm trying to link to a client is a video that I've uploaded from my computer and it's not allowed on YouTube so I don't have a YT link.
