Regardless of how VoiceThread is accessed (e.g., through a Sakai course, the mobile app, or the VoiceThread website), threads are private by default. They may be shared securely with a group or shared via URL or embed code.
Select Share.
In Voicethread, hover your cursor over the thread you'd like to share and select the Share (i.e., arrow) icon.
Select a group.
Select a group from the list on the left.
Tip: If you do not see your course (or group) appear as an option in the secure sharing menu, you may need to authenticate your VoiceThread account within that Sakai site. See How do I authenticate my VoiceThread account with a Sakai site?
Configure permissions and select Share.
- Configure permissions for your thread. By default, users can view and comment on the thread once shared. Toggle on/off permissions as desired to allow others to view, comment, and/or edit your thread. Enabled permissions appear in green; disabled permissions appear in black.

Note: Basic sharing does not allow other users to edit your VoiceThread. If you'd like to give other users the option to edit your thread, use secure sharing instead.
