How to share a Skill you’re working on

Learn how to share your skills

Updated yesterday

Learning a new skill isn’t just a private journey - it’s something that can be shared with others to accelerate growth, build accountability, and strengthen relationships. Whether you’re in a professional development program, working with a coach, or simply improving on your own, here are practical ways to share your skill-in-progress with someone else.


How to share a Skill

  1. Open the skill you are working on.

  2. Click on the Share button in the upper-right corner.

  3. Select the person from your team you would like to share the skill with.

  4. Confirm your choice


What the shared user can and can't see

When you share a skill with another user, access to meeting details (video and transcript) works as follows:

  • Chat content: The shared user can see the chat content associated with the skill. This may include excerpts from meetings that you have chosen to share.

  • Meetings they joined as guest or were granted observer access to: If the shared user was a guest or observer in a meeting, they can view the full meeting details (video, transcript, and related data). This reflects the access they already have.

  • Meetings they did NOT join as a guest were NOT granted observer access to: If the shared user was not a participant or observer in a meeting, they cannot see the meeting’s details - even if the meeting is linked to the skill. In those cases, the shared user would need to request permission from the meeting host. The host can then choose to grant or deny access.


How this protects privacy

This structure ensures that sharing a skill does not automatically override meeting-level privacy settings. Every participant’s data remains protected, and no one gains access to meetings they were not part of without explicit host approval.

By design:

  • You stay in control of what skills and excerpts you share.

  • Meeting hosts stay in control of full meeting data access.

  • No sensitive content is exposed without informed consent.

This layered approach is a core part of Ovida’s commitment to privacy, security, and trust.


How to stop sharing your skill

To stop sharing your skill, click the Share button and then select the trash icon to remove this person from that specific skill.
