How to Make a Character Private in PolyBuzz AI (Complete Tutorial 2026)

Open your preferred web browser on your computer or mobile device. Search for "PolyBuzz" in Google or your preferred search engine rather than typing a URL directly. This approach ensures you reach the correct site, especially if you're unfamiliar with the exact domain name.

Look for the official PolyBuzz AI website in the search results. The official site typically appears at the top of the results and includes the PolyBuzz branding. Click through to access the platform's homepage once you've identified the correct website.

Using a search engine is particularly helpful if you're accessing the platform for the first time. It also prevents potential issues with typos or outdated bookmarks.

This navigation step occurs between 0:10 and 0:28 in the tutorial video.

Once you've landed on the PolyBuzz AI homepage, scan the interface for character creation options. The platform displays a button or link that allows you to begin building a new character. This control is typically labeled Create Character and appears prominently on the main navigation or dashboard area.

Click the Create Character button to open the character creation interface. This action launches the workspace where you'll configure all aspects of your new AI character. The interface provides access to settings that control behavior, personality, and crucially, visibility permissions.

The character creation interface serves as your central hub for defining how your character functions. It includes fields for name, description, behavioral traits, and access controls. At this stage, you're preparing to enter the detailed configuration area where privacy settings become accessible.

This step is covered between 0:28 and 0:43 in the video. The character creation button is designed to be easily discoverable for new users. Don't worry about entering character details just yet—focus on reaching the privacy controls first.

After clicking Create Character, select the option to create a fresh, new character. This action typically opens a form or workspace where you'll eventually enter details like your character's name and description. The platform presents you with a blank character template ready for customization.

You don't need to perfect every detail about your character's personality or behavior at this point. The primary goal is to access the settings panel where visibility controls are located. You can always return later to refine character traits, conversation styles, and other features.

The character creation workspace displays multiple configuration areas. These may include basic information fields, personality settings, and importantly, the permissions section required for privacy. Focus on navigating through the interface to locate where visibility options are controlled.

This step is demonstrated between 0:43 and 1:00 in the video. The interface design guides you through the character setup process logically. The key is reaching the specific area where you can lock down privacy before completing other configuration tasks.

To make your character private, locate the permissions section within the character setup interface. This section may appear as a dedicated panel, a tab, or a subsection within the broader character configuration page. Different interface versions might position this control slightly differently, so look carefully through the available options.

The permissions section controls who can view, access, and interact with your character. This is the critical area that determines whether your character appears in public listings or remains exclusive to your account. Understanding this section is essential for maintaining character privacy.

Scan the character creation interface for labels like Permissions, Visibility, Privacy Settings, or Access Control. These labels typically indicate where you'll find the options to restrict or grant access. The controls may be grouped with other advanced settings or displayed prominently depending on the platform's design.

The video addresses this important step between 1:04 and 1:17. The permissions section is specifically designed to give creators control over character accessibility. Take your time identifying this area to ensure you're adjusting the correct settings.

Within the permissions section, look for the visibility options available for your character. The platform typically offers multiple choices, such as Public, Unlisted, or Private. For this tutorial, select the Private option to ensure maximum privacy.

Click or tap on the Private option to activate this visibility setting. Selecting private means your character will not be publicly listed in any character directories or search results. Other users will not be able to discover, view, or interact with your character unless you explicitly share access.

After selecting the private option, confirm your choice is actually active. Look for visual indicators such as a highlighted state, a checkmark icon, or a color change next to the Private label. These visual cues confirm that the system has registered your privacy selection.

This critical privacy configuration step is covered between 1:17 and 1:38 in the video. The private setting is the single most important control for protecting your character from unwanted visibility. Even though it's a small interface action, it provides essential security for your creative work.

Before proceeding with additional character configuration, double-check that the private setting is properly activated. Look carefully at the permissions section to confirm that Private is highlighted, selected, or marked with a checkmark. This verification step prevents accidental public exposure of your character.

The visual feedback from the interface confirms whether your privacy selection has been saved. Some platforms apply settings changes immediately, while others require you to save or apply changes explicitly. Make sure you understand how the PolyBuzz AI interface handles setting confirmations.

If you notice that the private option isn't clearly marked as active, click or tap on it again. Sometimes interface elements require a second interaction to properly register your selection. Don't skip this verification—it's essential for ensuring your character remains truly private.

The video emphasizes this verification between 1:27 and 1:38. This small step protects your character from being visible beyond your account. Taking a few extra seconds to confirm prevents potential privacy issues down the line.

With the private setting confirmed, proceed with generating your character. Continue with your usual character setup process by adding personality traits, conversation styles, behavioral parameters, or custom prompts. All these configurations will remain private based on the permissions you've set.

Enter your character's name, description, and any other required or optional fields. The character creation interface provides space for detailed customization that defines how your AI character responds and interacts. Since you've already secured the privacy settings, you can experiment freely without concerns about public visibility.

Complete any additional configuration steps required by the platform. Some character creation interfaces include advanced options like response length preferences, conversation memory settings, or specialized knowledge domains. Configure these according to your specific needs while knowing everything remains private.

This generation step is discussed between 1:40 and 1:50 in the video. The private setting you configured earlier applies to all aspects of your character. You can now build and refine your character with full confidence in its privacy status.

If you ever return to edit your character after initial creation, revisit the permissions section to verify the setting remains in place. Character editing interfaces typically provide access to the same configuration areas you used during creation. Navigate back to the permissions section to check your privacy status.

Before making significant changes to an existing character, confirm that the private setting is still active. This verification is particularly important if the platform has been updated or if you're working across multiple devices. Settings should persist, but it's good practice to verify them periodically.

The permissions verification process for existing characters follows the same pattern as initial setup. Look for the highlighted or checked Private option within the permissions section. If for any reason the setting has changed, reselect private to restore your desired privacy level.

The video covers this maintenance step between 1:50 and 1:55. Regular verification ensures your character remains secure throughout its lifecycle. This practice is especially valuable if you're managing multiple characters with different privacy requirements.
