# How to share a WebTorrent seed?

1. To share a webtorrent seed, you must first obtain a magnet URL from a [torrent client with WebRTC peers](https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent/issues/369). If you are uploading and seeding for personal purpose, I would recommend using [WebTorrent Desktop](https://webtorrent.io/desktop/)

2\. Paste the magnet link to the URL input box, then click on the *binocular* icon

3\. If the magnet link is valid, a preview box should show up, showing the files inside the torrent

4\. Other users will be able to download and view the torrent directly from the UI
