# Stream privacy settings
There are three types of streams in Zulip.
* **Public**: Anyone can join, and anyone can view the complete message
history without joining.
* **Private, shared history**: You must be added by a member of the stream. The
complete message history is available as soon as you are added.
* **Private, protected history**: You must be added by a member of the
stream. You only have access to the messages that are sent after you are added.
## Privacy model for private streams
At a high level:
* Organization admins can see and modify most aspects of a private stream,
including the membership and estimated traffic. Admins cannot see stream
messages or do anything that would indirectly give them access to stream
messages, like adding members or changing the stream privacy settings.
* Non-admins cannot easily see which private streams exist, or interact with
them in any way until they are added. Given a stream name, they can figure
out whether a stream with that name exists, but cannot see any other
details about the stream.

[1] Depends on the stream type.
[2] Yes, but only if subscribed. If you have a private stream without an
admin, you'll have to add an admin in order to change the stream's privacy.
