• After uploading the interview, you’ll see the “Share” icon at the bottom of the interview box in the app.
• Click on “Share” and you’ll be able to send a direct link to the full interview through email or your messaging app. You can also share the interview to most social networks you have activated on your phone, such as Facebook and Twitter.

Sharing a Private Interview

If you’ve chosen to keep your interview private, normal sharing options won’t work. However, you can create a secret link, so only select people with the link can hear your interview, but it will remain inaccessible to the public. For directions on creating a secret link, click here.

You can also export your interview audio file from your device to your computer by following these instructions and then emailing the audio file to family and friends. The audio files are often quite large, so the file may be too large to attach to an email. We suggest using a file-sharing service like Google Drive or DropBox.

Sharing an unpublished interview

If you’ve chosen not to publish your interview, the only copy is on your device. This means that it is not on the web, so there is no way to link to it to share via social media.

However, you can download a copy of your interview to your computer. Then you can use your preferred file-sharing service to send the audio file to anyone you’d like.
