Audience/Target Users

  • Faculty
  • Staff
  • Students

What You Need Before You Start

  • An active Charlotte Google Workspace account.
  • The email addresses of the specific individuals (@charlotte.edu) or the names of the UNC Charlotte Google Groups you want to share with.

Steps to Complete the Task

Because Charlotte uses the Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals edition of NotebookLM, sharing has specific security rules.

  • Open the NotebookLM notebook you want to share.
  • Click the Share button (typically located in the top-right corner).
  • Type the specific @charlotte.edu email addresses of the individuals or the UNC Charlotte Google Groups you want to invite.
  • Set their access level (such as Viewer or Editor) and click Send.

Important Notes or Exceptions

  • Domain and Public Sharing Restriction: You cannot share NotebookLM notebooks with the entire Charlotte domain, nor can you share them externally or publicly. This is a built-in limitation of the Education Fundamentals version of NotebookLM.

Contact Information

If you have any questions or experience issues sharing your notebook, please contact the Service Desk at the Charlotte Services Portal or submit a ticket.
