What it is

Why learners choose study streams

Study streams blend a predictable timer with light social accountability so viewers feel invited, not pressured.

Visible focus ritual

A shared timer and clear sprint cadence keep everyone on the same clock.

Camera-optional norms

Open cameras for quick intros or recaps, then go audio-only or off.

Gentle accountability

Task check-ins, chat prompts, and streaks make progress visible without noise.

Setup

Stream-ready room setup

Keep your stream lightweight so guests can join in seconds.

Pick your room

Start with the Wave room or create a dedicated study stream room with a clear title.

Set the norms

Use Room Settings to note camera expectations, check-in timing, and focus length.

Share one link

Post a single join link so viewers always know where to go live.

Flow

A simple study stream cadence

Short, repeatable blocks make it easy for viewers to drop in and stay focused.

Kickoff (2-3 min)

Say hello, set the sprint length, and invite one quick goal in chat.

Sprint (25-35 min)

Mute, focus, and keep the timer visible while the chat stays calm.

Recap (3-5 min)

Share one win, then decide if the stream continues.

FAQ

Do I need to be on camera for a study stream?

No. Most hosts keep cameras optional and only go on for brief intros or recaps.

How is a study stream different from Study With Me?

Study With Me is the broader live room directory; a study stream is a video-first session you host inside those rooms.

Can I run audio-only?

Yes. Guests can stay audio-only or chat-only while the timer keeps the group aligned.

How do I keep the stream welcoming?

Set norms in the room description, keep discovery on only when you're live, and direct guests to chat check-ins.
