Share a library

Sharing a library gives another user access to the library's content. When a user follows your library, they'll be able to play and download any content it contains from their {term}pod. Share private libraries with friends and family or share public libraries with everyone!

To share a library you own:

1. Log in to your pod.
2. Select the upload icon ({fa}`upload`) in the top of the sidebar.
3. Select {guilabel}`Get started` under {guilabel}`Upload third-party content in a library`.
4. A screen appears showing your upload quota and your libraries.
5. Select {guilabel}`Library Details` under the library you want to share.
6. The {guilabel}`Sharing link` appears on the library details page. Select {guilabel}`Copy` to copy the sharing link to your clipboard. A label appears letting you know you've copied the link.
7. Send the link to whomever you want to share the library with.

1. Log in to your pod.
2. Select the upload icon ({fa}`upload`) at the top of the screen.
3. Select {guilabel}`Get started` under {guilabel}`Upload third-party content in a library`.
4. A screen appears showing your upload quota and your libraries.
5. Select {guilabel}`Library Details` under the library you want to share.
6. The {guilabel}`Sharing link` appears on the library details page. Select {guilabel}`Copy` to copy the sharing link to your clipboard. A label appears letting you know you've copied the link.
7. Send the link to whomever you want to share the library with.

If you have set the library's privacy level to {guilabel}Nobody except me, you need to approve followers. You receive a notification when a user follows your library. To approve a follow request:

1. Log in to your pod.
2. Select the cog icon ({fa}`cog`) or your avatar to expand the user menu.
3. Select {guilabel}`Notifications`. The notifications screen opens.
4. Notifications show the username of the user who wants to follow the library as well as the library name. Select {guilabel}`Accept` to approve the follow request or {guilabel}`Reject` to reject the request.

1. Log in to your pod.
2. Select the cog icon ({fa}`cog`) or your avatar to open the {guilabel}`Options` menu.

4. Notifications show the username of the user who wants to follow the library as well as the library name. Select {guilabel}`Accept` to approve the follow request or {guilabel}`Reject` to reject the request.

That's it! You've shared your library. The invited users can now listen to its content.
