Using cam study

Do I have to turn the camera on?
You can join with your camera off. That said, the magic of cam study is sharing your study moment so you both motivate each other — having the camera on is more effective.
How many people can join a study room?
StudyLive's study rooms don't have a hard cap — many people study together in one large room and feed off the group's energy.
What about noise and privacy?
Microphones are always muted, and the camera only turns on when you want. Many people aim the camera at their desk, not their face.
Is anyone there late at night?
Yes — hundreds of people are studying on StudyLive right now. Late night, weekends, whenever you drop in, there's always someone studying with you.
