How to share Claude Code sessions with your team

Five ways to let a teammate read, join or continue a Claude Code session, and what each one gives up.

The short answer

  • To show a teammate what happened: share a cloud session link from claude.ai/code. On Team and Enterprise, set it to Team visibility1.
  • For a session that ran in your terminal: /export saves it as plain text2. Lore turns it into a link with transcript, summary and files touched4.
  • To work in the same live session: claude-share lets a teammate join from their own Claude Code, with prompts running on your machine6.
  • If your team works in each other's Claude Code sessions every day: Leverage Computer. Sessions are shared live in team threads, and anyone can pick one up later on the same machine and files8, 9.

Three things "sharing a session" can mean

A snapshotA link or an export. The reader sees what happened, frozen at that moment1, 2.
A live sessionTwo people in one session. Both see each turn as it happens, and either can type6, 8.
A hand-offSomeone continues the work later, on the same machine and files9.
Claude Code's own links and /export give you a snapshot1, 2. claude-share adds live pairing6. Continuing later needs a computer that keeps the session's files9.

What "sharing a session" can mean

  1. Read it. A teammate sees the prompts, replies and changes after the fact.
  2. Join it live. A teammate watches it happen and can type into it.
  3. Continue it. A teammate picks up the work later, with the same files and context.
  4. Keep it safe. Sessions can contain code and secrets, so check who can open the link.

The options

Strengths

  • Toggle a cloud session's visibility and share the link1.
  • On Team and Enterprise, Team visibility shows the session to members of your organization, and repository access is checked against the recipient's GitHub account by default1.
  • Sessions started from Claude in Slack are shared with Team visibility automatically1.

Weaknesses

  • Recipients "see the latest state when they open the link, but their view doesn't update in real time"1.
  • Only cloud sessions can be shared this way, not sessions in your terminal1.
  • claude --teleport gives you a copy: new work there "doesn't appear in the cloud session"1.
  • Anthropic warns that sessions "may contain code and credentials from private GitHub repositories"1.

Price. Included with plans that have cloud sessions1.

/export in Claude Code: the quick way for a local session

Strengths

  • /export saves the current conversation as plain text, to a file or the clipboard2.

Weaknesses

  • Text only. The teammate gets no files, tools or running state.
  • /share is not a team-sharing command: it is an alias of /bug and sends the conversation to Anthropic2.
  • A feature request for native session sharing was closed as a duplicate of an older request3.

Price. Free.

Lore: for readable links to past sessions

Strengths

  • Turns "Claude Code, Cowork, and Codex sessions into a shareable link", run from a Claude Code plugin with /lore:share4.
  • Links can be private, workspace or public, and teammates can fork a thread into a new agent session4.

Weaknesses

  • A link shows a finished record. Nobody can join the session live.
  • Its pricing page describes plans in terms of skills and does not say whether sharing is limited on Free5.

Price. Free $0; Team $20 per seat a month; Enterprise custom5.

claude-share: for pairing live on one session

Strengths

  • "Share a Claude Code session with a link, and a teammate joins it from their own Claude Code"6.
  • By default each edit, command or network call from a guest asks the host first6.
  • MIT-licensed, with a self-hostable room server6.

Weaknesses

  • The guest's prompts run on the host's machine, so the session ends when the host does6.
  • Traffic is "encrypted in transit, not end to end"6.
  • Both people need Claude Code 2.1.286 or later6.

Price. Free and open source (MIT)6.

Leverage Computer: for teams that work in each other's sessions every day

We make Leverage Computer. This section uses our own public pages, and it says where Leverage Computer does not fit.

In Leverage Computer, every agent session runs on its own VM in a shared workspace, where teammates can open it8, 9.

Strengths

  • Live and multiplayer. Watch a teammate's session live, steer it, queue a message or stop it8.
  • Shared like a doc. Keep a session private, share it with a space or the workspace, or invite people as viewers or collaborators8.
  • Continue later. Archive a session and reopen it later with the same machine and files9.
  • Bring local work in. The CLI imports local Claude Code and Codex sessions11.
  • Share what it built. Open what the agent builds through a private preview link9, or publish a page with versions8.
  • Session view. In the app, a session shows the conversation, its files and a terminal side by side9.

Where Leverage Computer is the wrong choice

  • You only need to show someone a transcript now and then. A cloud session link or /export is free and enough.
  • Your code must stay on your own machines. Leverage Computer does not offer a self-hosted version; claude-share keeps work on the host's machine.
  • You don't want another tool. Leverage Computer is a workspace your team works in, not a plugin for Claude Code.

Price. $0.50 per agent hour on a Standard machine; people are free; use your own Claude plan or credits10.

How to choose

  1. Occasional hand-offs? Use a cloud session link, or /export for local work1, 2.
  2. A searchable record of sessions for the team? Lore4.
  3. Pair on one session right now? claude-share6.
  4. Several people in each other's sessions every day, with work that keeps running? Leverage Computer8, 9.

Questions

Does Claude Code have a share command?
Not for teammates. /export saves the conversation as text, and /share is an alias of /bug, which sends the conversation to Anthropic2. Cloud sessions on claude.ai/code can be shared by link1.
Can a teammate continue my Claude Code session?
With a cloud session link they see its latest state1. To keep working on the same files and machine together, you need a shared environment such as Leverage Computer8, 9.
Is it safe to share a Claude Code session?
Treat it like sharing code. Anthropic warns that sessions may contain code and credentials from private repositories1.
