Plaud lets you share your recordings, transcripts, and notes securely with anyone. Tap the Share icon on any recording, select Share link, and choose between a public link (Share) or a private invite-only link (Invite).
What is a share link?
A share link is a way to give someone access to a recording, transcript, summary, or mind map from your Plaud account without exporting files. You can choose a public link that anyone with the URL can open, or an invite-only link that requires a Plaud account and is restricted to specific email addresses. Share links are view-only, so recipients can read or listen to the content but cannot download or edit it.
Which link should I use?
Plaud offers two ways to share a recording:
Share link — Anyone with the link can view the content, no account required. Best for non-sensitive content.
Invite — Only the specific people you invite can access the content, and each invitee can see different items. Best for sensitive content.
To get started, tap the Share icon on any recording, then select Share link
Before you start
- Make sure you have the latest version of the Plaud App installed
- Recipients of Invite links need a Plaud account to access shared content
How to share a recording link?
- Open any recording in the Plaud App and tap the Share icon
- On the Share link tab, select what the viewer(s) can see
- (Optional) Set an expiration time using the Link expires dropdown
- Tap Share link to generate the link
- Copy and share the link — it works immediately, no account needed
How to share with specific people (Invite)?
- Tap the Share icon on any recording and select Share link
- Switch to the Invite tab
- Select what the viewer(s) can see

The invitee will receive an email with a link. They need a Plaud account to access the content. Once they view it, their email changes to their username in your Invite list.

FAQ about share links
Is the share link a website?
No. "Share" just means creating a public link — it doesn't create a website or web page.
Can viewers download or save the content?
No. Both Share and Invite links are view-only. Recipients cannot download any content.
Can I see who viewed my invite link?
Yes. On the Invite tab, you'll see the list of invited people. When someone views the content, their email address changes to their username. For Share links, no tracking is available — they're anonymous.
Can viewers see who else has access?
No. Viewers cannot see the list of other people who have been invited or who have the shared link.
What happens if I remove and then reshare the same content?
The share link remains the same. After resharing, anyone with the link continues to have access, based on the updated content selection.
What happens if I delete or trash the file? Will viewers still see any part of it?
Both Share and Invite links become invalid immediately. No one can access any part of the file.
I invited someone but they didn't receive the email. What should I do?
There are two ways to resolve this. Option 1: Select "Copy Link" at the bottom of the Invite tab and send the link directly to the intended viewer. Option 2: Open the dropdown next to the viewer's email address and select "Resend invite." If they still don't receive it, ask them to check their spam or junk folder.
