title: Share an agent by link
description: "Make an agent public and send a link to a hosted page where anyone can talk to it, without a website or an embed."
---

**Share** gives an agent a public page: `/agents/try/<id>` for a voice agent,
titled **Web Call**, and `/agents/text/try/<id>` for a text agent. Anyone with the
link can talk to the agent from their browser. It is the quickest
way to put an agent in front of a colleague, a client or a QR code.

## Share it

1. **Open Share**

    In the agent workspace header, choose the **Share agent** button, next to
    **Save**. The **Share Agent** dialog opens.

2. **Make the agent public**

    Switch on **Agent Visibility**. The change is saved at once; the status line
    changes from *Private - Only you can access this agent* to *Public - Anyone can
    access this agent*.

3. **Send the link**

    **Direct Link** now shows the page's address. **Copy link** copies it and
    **Test Link** opens it in a new tab. The page opens with the agent's name and
    a control to start the conversation.

## Behaviour and limits

- Sharing and embedding use the same switch, in the same dialog: the **Share
  Agent** dialog also carries the [embed code](/deploy/widget-and-embed/embed-code).
  Turning **Agent Visibility** off makes the link stop working with **Access
  Denied** and the error code `not_public`, and the widget stops answering.
- The page runs the published version. Visitors do not see unsaved or
  unpublished changes.
- Calls and chats from the page are logged like any other, with `WEB` as the
  caller's number.
- There is no password on the link. Treat it like any public URL: anyone who has
  it can spend the agent's minutes.

## Verify

- Open the link in a private window. The **Web Call** page loads instead of
  **Access Denied**, and a test conversation shows under **Call Logs** or
  **Conversations**.

## Troubleshooting

- **Access Denied, not_public.** The agent is private again. Choose **Share
  agent** in the workspace header and switch on **Agent Visibility**.
- **The microphone never activates.** The visitor's browser blocked it. Reload
  and allow the microphone when asked.
