Before you begin
Here's what you'll need:
- A signed-in StoryNest family account
- A Hardcover plan for family recording links
Let's get started
Follow these steps
These instructions match the current StoryNest app. The pictures are simple screen maps until verified product screenshots are available.
Open Family
From the signed-in app, open Family and find Family recording links.
Make a link
Select Make a link and name the person it is for, such as Grandpa or Aunty.
Set the limits
Choose how many stories they may record and how long the link will work. Send it only to someone you trust.
Share privately
Copy or share the new link by text or email. Your guest opens it in their browser, chooses a book and records without making their own StoryNest account.
Check the library
When the guest finishes and saves their recording, check your family's StoryNest library. You can switch off a shared link from Family recording links.
A few handy tips
- Guest links are intended for private family sharing, not posting publicly.
- Guests need microphone permission in their browser.
- Hardcover is required for guest recording links.
Good to know
Common questions
Does Grandpa need an account?
No. A valid guest link lets them record from their browser.
Can I revoke a link?
