How to Share on Cantina

On Cantina, you can share:

a video from your feed
a room you love
a bot you made
a link
an invite for someone new to Cantina

This article walks through every kind of Share.

The Share menu

Anywhere you see the Share icon (the arrow pointing up and to the right, top right of most content), tap it to open Share.

The Share menu has four rows, top to bottom:

Post this to my feed. A checkbox at the top. As long as it's checked, the item also gets reposted to your feed no matter which destination you pick below.
Other apps. Share to Instagram, TikTok, X, Message. On Android you'll also see IG Story as its own button.
Cantina destinations and system share. Post to Storyline (iOS only for now), Post to Feed, Copy link, More.
DM row. Your friends' faces. Tap a face to send the item straight into their DM. Scroll sideways to find the friend you're looking for.

Post to Feed

Tap Post to Feed to post the item to your home feed.

Post this to my feed at the top of the Share menu is a toggle. Check the box if you would like to also repost the video to your feed.

Post to Storyline

iOS only for now.

Post to Storyline adds the item to one of your Storylines. A Storyline is a series you're building around a bot or a theme.

Tap Post to Storyline to open the Select Storyline screen. Pick the Storyline you want to add to. If you don't have one yet, create one first.

Tap Post to Storyline to publish.

Share a bot

Bots have their own Share button on their profile. Two ways to get to it:

Tap the Share icon in the action row at the top of the profile.
Or tap More (⋯) in the same row → Share.

Both open the same Share menu.

Here's what you'll see in the menu:

Share to Instagram, TikTok, X, or Message
Copy link to grab a Cantina URL for the bot
More to open your phone's system share menu
The DM row to send the bot to a Cantina friend

Use this when you want someone to meet a bot you made, share your bot in a room, or send someone a bot from another creator.

Send to a friend on Cantina (DM)

The row of friend faces at the bottom is your DM row.

Tap a friend's face to drop the item straight into your DM with that person.
If you don't see the friend you want, scroll the row sideways.
If you'd rather write a message around the link, use Copy link (below) and paste it into any DM.

Copy link

Copy link puts a Cantina URL for the item on your clipboard. You'll see a Link copied confirmation at the top of the screen.

From there you can paste it wherever you want: another DM, a room chat, a text message, a note, an email.

Send via Message

The green Message icon opens your phone's Messages app (iMessage on iPhone, your default messaging app on Android) with the Cantina link pre-filled. Pick who to send it to and hit send.

Use this when the person you want to share with isn't on Cantina yet, or you'd rather text them than DM them in the app.

Share to Instagram, TikTok, or X

Tap Instagram, TikTok, or X to share to that app.

More (your phone's share menu)

Tap More to see everything else on your phone that can accept a link.

On iOS: AirDrop, Messages, Mail, Notes, Reading List, and any other app that accepts a link.
On Android: Quick Share, Messages, Gmail, Photos, Drive, and any other app that accepts a link.

Share a room

Rooms have their own Share button. Open the room's profile, tap the Share icon in the top right, and the same Share menu opens. Every destination works the same way. Post to Feed, Post to Storyline, Copy link, DM to a friend, Message, Instagram, TikTok, X, More.

Use this when you want to invite someone into a room you love.

Share inside a room chat

Inside a room, the chat has its own attach button (the icon next to the message field). Tapping it opens a media picker with tabs across the top:

Favorites: things you've saved
Bots: pick a bot to send into the chat
Images: your photos or Cantina photos
Videos: your videos or Cantina videos

You can send a Cantina link (a room, a bot, a video) into a chat by tapping Post to Chat on that item. Post to Chat sends it as a link everyone in the chat can tap.

Next to Post to Chat is Present. Present is different: it shares your screen or plays the video live to everyone in the room.

Invite a friend to Cantina

If the person you want to share with isn't on Cantina yet, use Invite Your Friends.

Open the People tab and tap the invite icon in the top right (looks like a person with a plus). The Invite Your Friends screen shows your personal invite code and a Copy link button.

Copy the link or the code and send it however you like.

You can also tap Connect Contacts at the bottom. That gives Cantina access to your phone's contact app so it's easier to share with and connect to people you already know.
