# Change the privacy of a stream
{!admin-only.md!}
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.
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.

1. Select a stream.
4. Find the privacy description under the stream name and description on the
right. Click **[Change]**.
5. Select a privacy level.
6. Click **Save changes**.
!!! tip ""
Be careful making a private stream public. All past messages will become
accessible, even if the stream previously had protected history.
