What it is
StudyStream is a video study platform and online community where students can work alongside others around the world in real time. Its live focus rooms pair shared study sessions with video accountability, and include a Pomodoro timer with a default 25-minute session. The app also offers task and streak tracking, plus AI tools for making notes, generating quizzes, and taking notes. A social feed connects users with student groups. StudyStream is available on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web. The free plan includes one hour daily in focus rooms. Basic Monthly costs $3.99 a month; Premium Monthly costs $6.99 a month and Premium Annually costs $69.99 a year, with unlimited access listed for both Premium plans. Users must be older than 16.
