With Audacity 3.2 you can quickly share audio online using the new service [audio.com](https://audio.com). To do this, simply click the **Share Audio** button.

You can now upload your audio by pressing **Continue**. If you'd like to link an existing audio.com first, you can do that by clicking **Link Account**.

Audacity will now prepare the track for upload and upload your audio.

{% endhint %}

After your audio has been uploaded, press **Continue**. You will be taken to the audio.com website.
