Sharing Public Interviews on archive.storycorps.org
If your interview is available on your archive.storycorps.org profile and you've set the privacy settings to Public, you can share an interview directly from the interview page. If you select the Share icon
on the right side of the interview media player, you can access the Share Menu with options to:
- share an interview via Facebook
- share an interview via Twitter
- share a direct Link to Story (you can also copy and paste the URL to your interview page from your browser's search bar)
- share an interview on your website using an Embed code
Please note: While you can still share direct links to interviews with privacy settings set to StoryCorps Community, these interviews will only be accessible by other archive.storycorps.org users when they are logged into their account.

Sharing Private Interviews on archive.storycorps.org
If your interview is available on your archive.storycorps.org profile and you've set the privacy settings to Private, you won't be able to use the sharing options mentioned above. However, you do have the option to generate a secret link that folks can use to listen to your interview while keeping it inaccessible to the public. You can find step-by-step instructions for how to create a secret link for a private interview in the Help Center article below.

Sharing interviews from the StoryCorps App
Sharing Published Interviews using the StoryCorps App
If you've published your StoryCorps App interview and set the privacy settings to Public or StoryCorps Community, you can share a direct link to your interview on archive.storycorps.org from the app. To share a link to your interview using the StoryCorps App:
- Select the Profile tab in the app
- Select Interviews, and then select the interview you'd like to share
- On the interview page, select the Share icon
on the right side of the media player - From there, you can send a link to your interview using your preferred messaging app.
Please note: There is currently no way to share links to private interviews from the StoryCorps App. Additionally, shared interviews with privacy settings set to StoryCorps Community will only be accessible by other archive.storycorps.org users when they are logged into their account.
Sharing Unpublished Interviews using the StoryCorps App
If you chose not to publish your interview to archive.storycorps.org (or haven't gotten around to publishing it yet) the only copy of your audio is saved to your device as a draft and cannot be shared from the app. If you'd like to share your unpublished audio, you can export a copy of your interview from the StoryCorps App and send the audio file directly to anyone you’d like. You'll find step-by-step instructions for how to export your interview audio from the StoryCorps App in the Help Center article below.
