Choose what the team sees of a session, share it by link or a few messages at a time, and how that compares to other tools.
·3 min read
"Share this session" can mean three things. You want a teammate to read a conversation that already finished. You want someone to follow one that is still running. Or you want the team's sessions visible without anyone deciding to share each one. Codecast does all three, and each starts from the session itself.
The share button in a conversation's header. For a session in a team workspace, a What the team sees section sits above Link access.
Share a session with your team
Open the session and click the share button at the right of its header. In a team workspace, What the team sees has three settings:
Hidden: only you can see it, and it stays out of the team feed.
Summary: the team feed shows the title and a summary of the work, not the conversation.
Full: the team can read the whole conversation, live while it runs.
If the session lives in a repository you already share, the popover says so (Shared automatically) and links to the repository's setting. To share every new session with a team without doing it one by one, use Share all new sessions in full, or set it per repository in Settings → Sync & Privacy (Team sessions covers that).
Share a link
Under Link access:
Restricted: only people who can already see the session can open the link. Use it to point a teammate at a session.
Anyone: anyone with the link can read it, no sign in needed. The share button turns into a globe so you can tell at a glance that the session is public.
Then click Copy link, or Send to chat to post it in a team chat channel. Someone who opens a public link sees the conversation read only, with no composer, and a Sign in button if they have an account.
Before you make a session public, read it for anything private: tokens, customer names, internal links. Agents print what they see.
Share a few messages
Often one answer is the part worth sending. Hover a message and use Copy link to message, or click Share message to pick several: tick the messages you want, then Copy share link or Send to chat. Tick Link full conversation if the reader should be able to open the whole thing (this makes the conversation public).
Whoever opens the link sees just those messages, who shared them and when, and the session's title, with View full conversation when you linked it.
Watch a session while it runs
A session you can see in codecast is live: new messages, commands and file changes appear as the agent writes them, on the web, in the Mac app and on your iPhone. So "watch this" is the same link as "read this". If the session needs input, the person who runs it can answer from any of those places.
How this compares to other tools
Three needs, four tools. Most tools answer one need well and leave the other two blank.
Claude Code's own sharing works for sessions that ran in the cloud at claude.ai/code. You set a session to Team or Public and send the link; the reader sees it as it was when they opened it.
Lore turns one conversation into a shareable thread, for Claude Code, Codex, Cowork and Amp.
Remote Control lets you follow and steer one running Claude Code session from claude.ai or the Claude app, while it runs.
Codecast records every session on every machine as it happens, for the folders you choose, and keeps them afterwards to search and link to.
They work together: a session you steer with Remote Control is still an ordinary Claude Code session on your machine, so codecast records it like any other. For more on that pairing, see Codecast vs Claude Code Remote Control.
