# Exporting for Runtime
> Export a .riv file to use in apps, games, websites, and other supported runtimes.
export const YouTube = ({id, timestamp}) => {
const videoSrc = timestamp ? `https://www.youtube.com/embed/${id}?start=${timestamp}` : `https://www.youtube.com/embed/${id}`;
return ;
};
Exporting for runtime is available on paid plans. [Learn more about our plans and pricing](https://rive.app/pricing?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=content).
A `.riv` file is the final Rive file you load at runtime. You can use the same exported file across supported runtimes, including web, mobile, game engines, and other platforms.
## Exporting a .riv File
To export a file for runtime, click the blue **Publish** button on the right side of the toolbar, or go to **Export** > **For runtime** from the left toolbar menu.
You can load the exported `.riv` file into your app, game, or website with any of Rive's [open source runtimes](/runtimes/).
## Using newer files with older runtimes
Rive files are built for backwards compatibility. A file exported from the latest version of the editor can still load in older runtimes.
If a file uses a feature that was added after your runtime version was released, that specific feature may be skipped, while the rest of the file continues to run.
For full [feature support](/feature-support), fixes, and performance improvements, keep your runtime up to date.
