How to add your self-directed recording to an initiative with the StoryCorps App

StoryCorps has a number of recording initiatives that participants can add interviews to. While previously only Signature Interviews could be added to these initiatives, participants can now add interviews recorded with our self-directed recording tools to these initiatives on their own using the StoryCorps App.

Jump to: Adding an unpublished StoryCorps App interview to an initiative

Jump to: Adding a published StoryCorps App or Connect interview to an initiative

Please note: If you recorded an interview with StoryCorps Connect, you can only add it to an initiative from the StoryCorps App after it has been published to archive.storycorps.org.

Adding an unpublished StoryCorps App interview to an initiative

If you are recording a new interview using the StoryCorps App, you can opt in to an initiative before publishing your interview. You’ll have two opportunities to opt in to an initiative before publishing your interview.

To opt in to an initiative before recording

While logged in to the StoryCorps App:

  1. Select the red Record button located at the bottom center of the screen.
  2. Swipe through the different initiatives and select Join under the initiative to which you want to add your interview.

To opt in to an initiative after recording

After recording an interview with the StoryCorps App:

  1. Select the blue + button under the I am recording as part of a program section of the Review page.
  2. Swipe through the different initiatives and select Join under the initiative to which you want to add your interview.

Adding a published StoryCorps App or Connect interview to an initiative

If you have already published your StoryCorps App interview to archive.storycorps.org or recorded using StoryCorps Connect, you can still add it to an initiative using the StoryCorps App. To add your published interview to an initiative:

  1. Log in to your account with the StoryCorps App.
  2. Select the profile icon (👤) in the bottom right corner of the navigation bar.
  3. Select Interviews on your profile page.
  4. Select the interview you would like to add to an initiative.
  5. Select the three dots in the upper right corner of the interview page and select Edit from the dropdown menu.
  6. On the Edit Interview screen, select the blue + button under the I am recording as part of a program section.
  7. Swipe through the different initiatives and select Join under the initiative you want to add your interview to.
  8. Once you’ve selected the initiative you want to join, press the red Update button at the bottom of the screen to include your interview as part of the initiative selection you made.

 

Please Note: Users can not add Signature Interviews to an initiative on their own if they did not opt in when they initially recorded the interview. If you would like to add a Signature Interview to an initiative, please submit a request to our support team here.
