Change the privacy of a stream

This feature is only available to organization owners and administrators.

Streams can be public or private, and private streams can have shared or protected history. See stream permissions for details on stream privacy settings.

As an organization administrator, you can always make a public stream private, but you must be subscribed to a private stream in order to make it public.
