After creating a VoiceThread, you can add descriptive information to help users identify and locate your content.
- Title: Titles are required to share a VoiceThread.
- Description: describe your VoiceThread in more detail to give users an overview of your VoiceThread.
- Tags: add tags (keywords) to help users locate your VoiceThread. Tags help users find your VoiceThread in a search.

Share a VoiceThread
VoiceThreads are private by default, so you decide when—and how—others can access your content. When you are ready to share your content, you can choose who has access and what level of permission they receive. Permissions may allow others to view, comment on, or edit your VoiceThread, and can be granted to individuals, groups, or courses. Sharing access can be updated or revoked at any time.
In order for all your participants to access your VoiceThread, you must publish it. Publishing makes the VoiceThread public while still allowing you to control viewing, commenting, and editing permissions.
See the Publishing help article for more information.
