Follow the following steps to change who can join your stream by changing the stream's
privacy.
Streams can be public or private, and private streams can have shared or
protected history. See [stream permissions](/help/stream-permissions) for
details on stream privacy settings.
Please note that any users that were previously subscribed to the stream will
remain subscribed to the stream after you change the stream's privacy.
As an organization administrator, you can always make a public stream
private, but you must be subscribed to a private stream in order to make it
public.
## Make a public stream private
!!! tip ""
Be careful making a private stream public. All past messages will become
accessible, even if the stream previously had protected history.
