# Share events publicly https://help.circle.so/p/live-and-events/events/share-events-publicly Category: [Live and events](https://help.circle.so/p/live-and-events) › [Events](https://help.circle.so/p/live-and-events/events) --- _Last updated: September, 2026_ You can share events from your community with anyone, even if they’re not a member. This helps you promote public events, increase engagement, and grow your community. ## **Get to know event sharing** The event-sharing feature lets you share a public link to an event’s details page. You can share events from open, private, or even secret spaces from your public or private community. Here are some key advantages of the event sharing feature: - **Increase visibility:** Share event links on social media, via email, or on other platforms to reach audiences beyond your community. - **Community growth:** Publicly shared events can attract new members to your community. When people outside your existing member base discover engaging events, they’re more likely to sign up and join. - **Promote paywalls:** Sharing events also helps you promote community memberships! Here are some tips to do so: - **Allow your non-members to RSVP** : Share events with [public RSVP enabled](/p/live-and-events/events/allow-non-members-to-rsvp-to-events) so they can RSVP and participate. This works well for events with live room and live stream locations. If you want non-members to RSVP and join a live room with audio & video or co-host a live stream, using the public RSVP feature is a great option. - **Host public live stream events:** When you host a [**public live stream**](https://help.circle.so/p/live-and-events/live-setup/get-to-know-public-live-streams) event, you can share it widely with your audience. This is especially useful if you want non-members to join the live stream as guests with view-only access. ### **Who can share events** Event sharing permissions depend on user roles and community settings: - **Public spaces in a public community:** Members, moderators, and admins can share the event URL. - **Private or secret spaces in a public community:** Only admins and moderators can share events via the unique share link. - **Private community:** Regardless of space access, only admins and moderators can share events using the unique share link. Here are a couple of things to remember: - The option to share events from a private space or private community with a unique share URL is available only on the desktop app and web browsers. - The option to share events is unavailable for communities currently on a **trial plan**. Once you upgrade your community to a paid plan, you’ll gain the ability to share events. ## **About the event details page** Depending on your event’s setup and your community settings, the shared event page can include: ### **Event information** - Event title, cover image, and description. - Event schedule with start and end times. - Location of the event, if the location is set to be visible to non-attendees. - RSVP button if the RSVP is enabled. - Event host name, if meta information is set to be visible. - List of attendees who have RSVPed, if attendee visibility is enabled. ### **Top navigation header** The top navigation header displays the log-in and sign-up options, depending on the community configuration: - **Log in** : The log-in option always appears at the right end of the header to allow logged-out members to sign in to the community. - **Sign up** : ### **Sidebar** The community sidebar appears on the event details page depending on the community setup: - **Public community** : - **Private community** : Events shared from private communities **always** use a minimal layout, hiding the sidebar by default. ### **Comments** **Public communities** - **Events from open space** : When an event is shared from an open space, comments are visible to everyone: - **Events from private spaces** : When an event is shared from a private or secret space, comments are not visible to anyone. **Private community** When an event is shared from a private community, regardless of the event space access settings, comments are not visible to anyone by default. - **Visitors** : Visitors cannot see or leave comments. - **Space members** : If the community member is also part of the event space, to view and leave comments, they will need to click the **Leave a comment** button at the bottom of the event description. This will take them to the original event details page, where they can view all the comments and leave new comments. - **Non-space members** : Members who are not yet part of the event space cannot see or leave a comment. ## **How RSVP works on shared event pages** RSVP behavior depends on: - Whether the event is free or paid. - Whether non-members are allowed to RSVP for an event. - Whether the person viewing the event is a member or a visitor. ### Free events **If the person is already a member** - If the member is already logged in, they can RSVP to the shared event. - If they are not logged in, they can use the **Log in** option before they RSVP. If the event belongs to a space they’re not part of yet (open, private, or secret space), RSVPing automatically adds them to that event space. This will allow them to view other events from the space, RSVP to them, and leave comments going forward. **If the person is not a member (visitor)** **Case 1: Non-members are allowed to RSVP** - The visitor can RSVP by providing their name and email. No member account is required in this case. - To learn more about how this works, see [Allow non-members to RSVP to events](/p/live-and-events/events/allow-non-members-to-rsvp-to-events). **Case 2: Non-members are not allowed to RSVP** Visitors can view the event details but cannot RSVP without becoming a member. - **If visitor sign-up is disabled: ** If your community does not allow visitors to sign up, they won’t be able to proceed or RSVP to the event. However, as mentioned above under key advantages, if you are hosting a public live stream event, they will be able to join without needing to RSVP. - **If visitor sign-up is enabled:** If your community allows visitors to sign up, here is how it works: ### Paid events For [**paid events**](https://help.circle.so/p/live-and-events/events/create-paid-events), visitors can purchase a ticket directly from the shared event page. Once the purchase is complete and their RSVP is confirmed, they become community members and automatically gain access to the event space and any spaces included in the onboarding settings. ## **Getting a share link for an event** 1. Click  **Community**  in the left sidebar, then select  **Spaces**. 2. Click the  **space name**  to open the event space and locate the event. The process of getting a share event URL varies depending on the community and space access settings. ### Option 1: From the open space in a public community 1. Click  **Share**  next to the event title. 2. Click the  **Copy**  icon to copy the link to your clipboard. Since you are sharing an event page from the open space of your public community, it will provide you with a link to the event, which will not be a unique link. ### Option 2: From the private space in a public community 1. Click  **Share**  next to the event title, then turn on the  **Share to web**  toggle. 2. **(Optional) Minimal layout**: When you share this event from a private space, you can turn this toggle on to show the event without the sidebar. 3. After adjusting the layout preference, click the  **Copy**  icon to save the unique link to your clipboard. ### Option 3: From any space in a private community 1. Click  **Share**  next to the event title, then turn on the  **Share to web**  toggle. 2. Click the **Copy** icon to save the unique link to your clipboard.
