Export a VoiceThread

You may export and download any of your existing VoiceThreads to keep for archival purposes or to share with others. Your VoiceThread will be saved as a .mov video format (852x480) and will include all media, comments, and annotations that existed on the live version of the VoiceThread.

Once you export a VoiceThread, you must download it within 90 days. After this period, the export will expire, and you will need to re-export the VoiceThread to obtain another copy.

Download Original Media and Comments

In some cases, you may wish to download the original media files and voice/video comments from your VoiceThread (ex you want to download and re-use your original slides).

Download Original Media

If you own a VoiceThread, or the creator of the VoiceThread has allowed it, you can download the original media that was uploaded to the slide. These downloads will only contain the original file that was uploaded, not any additional comments or drawings that were made in VoiceThread.

From within a VoiceThread, click on the slide details icon (blue "i") near the top-right corner of the page. This will open a menu. Click the Download button.

Download Comments

You can download any comment on a VoiceThread you own, and you can download any comment that you have recorded. The downloaded audio (mp3) or video (mp4) file will only contain the recording without any other content from the VoiceThread.

From within a VoiceThread, start playing the comment you want to download. Click on the download  media button.
