I need to share a number of Make prototypes externally but although I have enabled external link sharing, and it works on Design and Figjam files, there is no option to share a Make prototype externally. This is blocking me from sharing the prototype for user testing. Please advise if this is a defect or is there a setting I’m missing.

Hi ​@nodriscoll, thanks for reaching out! 
 

To share the fullscreen preview of a functional prototype or web app, please use the following:

  1. In the upper-right corner of the fullscreen preview that you want to share, click Share.
  2. Use the share modal to change permissions, invite specific individuals, and get a link to the preview.

Did this work? Im having trouble with the same issue and just cant seem to set it so that I can share a Figma Make prototype for usability testing that doesn’t: 1. show the chat history or 2.require a log in to figma or organisational log in

Yeah, Figma Make prototypes are tricky to share externally without extras like AI chat. The official tip is to open fullscreen preview (play button), then click Share in the corner for a link. But many report it still requires login or shows unwanted stuff. Quick workaround: open fullscreen, copy the browser URL, and share that. Viewers might strip parameters to see more, so watch sensitive prompts. Still no clean public option.

Hey, i tried using your workaround and copied the link to share the prototype with a client. I have a paid plan. Instead of the prototype he sees this:​ 
What went wrong? What is the fix? This is unbearable.

 ​@djv Sorry, but this is not working. The external needs to login to see the prototype.
