How it works
Start together.
Follow through.
A goal becomes easier to stick with when it has a place in your week—and people alongside you.
Bring your own course and meeting tools, use native delivery where enabled, or mix both. Here is how Streamfiesta connects learning, feedback, support, recovery, and completion—and where the product is heading next.

The learner journey
One cohort. Six steps forward.
Your cohort gives the experience its structure. You bring the participation. Your instructor sets the learning requirements and helps you turn practice into progress.
Find your cohort.
A cohort is a group learning toward a shared goal within a start and end date. Read the description, dates, and available places before you join. Anyone can browse published public cohorts. Sign in to join; an unlisted cohort needs an invitation from its creator.
A clear goal, a real schedule, and people to learn with.
Make it your commitment.
Join as a learner and, if you want, write a short statement about what you intend to accomplish. This is a personal intention you can return to, not another assignment. If your cohort has pods, join an available smaller group. Your optional Accountability Pact adds a private support note and weekly availability; you choose whether to share those details with the owner or current pod.
Know what showing up means for you.
Show up and take part.
Follow your cohort’s lessons and scheduled sessions. Your instructor may use external resources, native delivery where enabled, or a mix. External sessions use manual attendance; native sessions can use verified participation. Check in with your pod and ask contextual questions beside lessons, checkpoints, and sessions.
Turn an intention into regular participation.
Put your learning into practice.
Checkpoints ask you to demonstrate your work. Submit a written response and, when useful, a project URL. Your instructor can approve it or request a revision. Read the feedback, improve your work, and submit a new version for review. Keep unfinished drafts private, ask for private instructor help, or explicitly share submitted work for peer feedback when enabled. Instructor approval is what makes a checkpoint count toward completion.
Build evidence of learning, with room to improve.
Keep your next step visible.
Your progress combines sessions, checkpoints, eligible pod check-ins, and required lessons when configured. Finishline tells you whether you are on track, slipping, in need of rescue, or finished. The outstanding-work view separates actionable tasks, scheduled sessions, and work waiting for instructor review—even when you are on track. When participation falls behind, Rescue points to concrete catch-up actions.
A missed moment can become a concrete next action.
Finish with something to show.
After the cohort ends, completing all your eligible requirements earns a recorded completion. Sessions need attendance or recovery, checkpoints need approval, eligible check-ins need submission, and required lessons need explicit completion. Optional midpoint and completion reflections help you review your learning. You can separately choose to publish a proof under your display name.
A finish line backed by meaningful participation.
Your course. Your format.
Bring your stack. Or build here.
The learning tools can change. The people, practical work, and path to completion stay connected.
Teach natively
Bring lessons, private video, live classrooms, and replays into the cohort experience where these tools are enabled.
Native options · setup required
Mix what works
Combine native and external resources. Learners keep the same cohort, support, and completion journey.
One cohort · a flexible format
Native media, lesson scheduling, and teaching teams are built capabilities still being prepared for launch. Availability depends on setup and the cohort. External resource and meeting links remain supported.
A rhythm you can picture
What a week could look like.
Learning happens across a few different moments: showing up, practicing, getting feedback, and checking in. The schedule keeps those moments connected, so your next step has a time and a place.
- Monday
Meet & learn
Join an external meeting or enabled native classroom. Follow the cohort’s attendance process; participation and later recovery remain distinct.
- Wednesday
Make & submit
Put the lesson into practice. Submit a checkpoint with a short explanation and a project link.
- Friday
Reflect & check in
Share an update in your pod. Read your checkpoint feedback and revise your work if needed.
A little closer to your people
The cohort is your group.
The pod is your smaller circle.
When your creator offers pods, you can join one within your cohort. Each pod has its own members, progress view, and check-ins. It gives a smaller set of people a shared view of how the learning is going.
A check-in can be a short update on what you did or what you are working through, guided by the creator’s prompt. Your pod members and instructor can see your participation, so progress has a social context.
“By the end of this cohort, I want to build a project I can explain confidently.”
Your commitment is a reminder of your intention. It is visible to you, your current pod members, and the creator through the pod, and does not count toward graduation.

Built today · support on your terms
Ask openly.
Reflect privately.
Choose what to share.
A question about a lesson belongs beside that lesson. A private blocker does not have to become a cohort conversation. Streamfiesta keeps those audiences distinct.
- Contextual discussions
- Ask your cohort about lessons, sessions, checkpoints, or the wider course experience. Follow replies, instructor answers, mentions, and notifications. Reporting and moderation help keep the conversation useful.
- Private checkpoint help & peer feedback
- Ask an instructor privately about a checkpoint. Separately, when peer feedback is enabled, choose whether to share submitted work for comments. Drafts stay private; peers cannot approve your checkpoint.
- Accountability Pact
- Add a support note and weekly availability in your time zone. They start private. Choose owner sharing, current-pod sharing, both, or neither. These settings do not book time or send invitations.
- Outcome Reflections
- Use the commitment as your starting intention. Add optional midpoint and completion reflections about progress, blockers, and what you accomplished. Share a reflection with the owner only if you choose.
One learning journey.
Different audiences.
- Your drafts: yours until submitted.
- Your Pact: private unless shared with the owner or current pod.
- Your reflections: private unless shared with the owner, never automatically public.
- Your proof: a separate, explicit publishing choice.
Normal instructor access to coursework, existing commitment visibility, and essential messages continue. Pact and reflection sharing can be withdrawn for future reads; it cannot undo what someone has already read.
Support preferences and reflections are optional. They never add completion requirements.
Progress with a way back
Life happens.
Your next step should be clear.
Finishline brings your participation into a simple status. If you fall behind, Rescue Mode points to concrete actions you can take. The complete outstanding-work view distinguishes your next actions from work waiting for review. Select a status below to see what it means.
On track
Your participation is steady.
Your current participation signals are healthy. Keep showing up for the next session, required lesson, checkpoint, and check-in. Being on track during a cohort does not mean you have graduated yet.
Keep your next learning moment in view.
- Attend the next scheduled session
- Work toward your next checkpoint
- Check in with your pod
Illustrative examples. Your actual status and suggested actions come from your cohort participation. The catch-up list highlights next steps; it may not include every outstanding item.
Recovery is part of the experience. Catching up on a missed session can satisfy its completion requirement while keeping live attendance separate. Late eligible work and instructor review remain possible after the cohort’s end date.
A finish line with substance
Finish the work.
Choose to share the milestone.
Completion follows the requirements you are eligible for, based on when you joined the cohort and any pod. You need meaningful eligible work and must satisfy all of it. An empty list of requirements does not earn graduation.
Sessions
Attend or recover every session you are eligible for.
Required lessons
Explicitly mark eligible required lessons complete when configured. This is self-reported learning, separate from reviewed checkpoints.
Checkpoints
Get every eligible checkpoint approved by your instructor.
Pod check-ins
Submit every check-in that applies to your pod membership.
Once the cohort has ended and your completion is recorded, you can create a public proof. It records your display name, the cohort, the completion date, and saved completion statistics.
Publishing is optional. The proof does not include your email, private submissions, or project URLs. Anyone with the link can view it; there is currently no self-service unpublish option.

Give your learners
a clear path.
You shape the learning experience: its goal, schedule, requirements, and feedback. Streamfiesta gives you a place to organize that experience and see how learners are progressing.
Create an accountOnce signed in, open Creator to manage your cohorts.
01 — Design the experience
Create a draft with a goal, dates, and learner capacity. Choose public visibility for discovery or unlisted visibility for an invited group. Attach a published course version if useful, with text, external resources, or native video where enabled. Add sessions, checkpoints, and, when useful, pods and check-ins. Keep their schedule within the cohort’s end date, then publish when you are ready.
02 — Bring the group together
Share your public cohort or create an invitation link for your unlisted group. Use external meeting links or enabled native classrooms, with attendance evidence and consented recordings where available. Teaching teams can help with scoped review and support when enabled. Use the cohort and pod views to understand who is participating and where support may be useful.
03 — Review, respond, and support
Review checkpoint submissions, approve completed work, or request a revision with feedback. Answer contextual questions, work through the private checkpoint-help queue, and moderate peer feedback. Read Pact details and reflections only when shared with you. Watch learner progress and risk alerts, and help learners make sense of their next steps. You can keep reviewing eligible work after the cohort ends.
Creating a cohort gives you instructor access. Open the cohort, sessions, checkpoints, and pod views, teach, and review work without enrolling. Learner places, pod membership, progress requirements, Rescue Mode, and graduation are reserved for learners.
Planned · from knowing to doing
See the work.
Make a plan.
Recover together.
The next chapters connect existing progress and support to practical recovery planning. Imagine choosing a manageable work block, accepting help, and meeting in a focused room around the work you actually need to finish.
You stay in control of invitations and sharing. Attending a voluntary room or watching together will not automatically complete assignments or change the original learning requirements.
A way back, together.
- 1
Name the work
An unfinished checkpoint, with a realistic effort estimate.
- 2
Make a little room
A recovery block you choose and confirm.
- 3
Bring the right support
A consented peer offer or a focused Rescue Room.

Return to your progress
Submit the work. Get feedback. Take the next step.
A picture of the roadmap, not a working scheduler or room. Support stays optional; completion still comes from eligible learning work.
The direction we’re building toward
More ways to get to the finish.
The features below are planned for the expanded launch. They are not available yet, and no release dates are promised. Each builds on the same principle: useful support connected to actual work.
01Planned
Make the next step manageable.
Turn unfinished work into a realistic plan, with people who know how to help.
Finish Together
Share pod milestones and consented help needs without ranking learners who are struggling.
Instructor Intervention Inbox
Bring unanswered help, waiting reviews, and follow-up into an actionable teaching queue.
Cohort Health
Understand participation, reviewed work, and support needs through clearly labeled cohort measures.
02Planned
Give recovery a place to happen.
Meet around the work, revisit a session, and take the next step together.
Rescue Rooms
Scheduled recovery sessions with a specific agenda, consented invitations, and links to the actual unfinished work.
Rewind Rooms
Watch an authorized native replay together with synchronized playback, discussion, and optional live conversation.
Smart Replay
Extend the replay library with instructor chapters, available transcript search, and useful links to recording segments.
03Planned
Carry your learning forward.
Make it easier to find the right work, join a cohort, and show what you finished.
Learning Passport
A profile with a bio, professional links, and selected learning evidence, with explicit visibility and withdrawal controls.
Payments
Paid cohort enrollment with clear checkout, coupons and scholarships, receipts and refunds, an optional instructor plan with transparent allowances, and instructor earnings and payouts. Payments are built and tested first; no real money is charged until later approvals.
Scoped Search
Find authorized lessons, discussions, replays, transcripts, and members inside a cohort without exposing private content.
Localization
Learning and payment journeys, emails, notifications, and receipts in languages beyond English, with amounts, dates, and times in your chosen format and time zone.
Beyond the launch: possibilities, not commitments
Later ideas include AI-assisted support, advanced matching and cohort improvement, richer evidence profiles, learning routines, office-hours booking, and broader content tools. Payments may grow into organization and institution billing and other commercial tools; mobile apps and external completion integrations are also longer-term possibilities.
University project courses and adult education fit the cohort model. Institution administration, LMS/SIS integrations, managed single sign-on, and minor-specific products are outside this launch. General social feeds, reputation systems, and public marketplace discovery are also outside the launch scope. Future priorities will depend on what instructors and learners actually need.
The practical details
A few things you might be wondering.
What is the difference between a cohort and a pod?
The cohort is the whole learning group: it has the overall schedule, sessions, checkpoints, and instructor. A pod is a smaller group inside that cohort, with its own members and check-ins. Your creator decides whether to use pods and how many places each one has.
Do I need an invitation to join?
You can browse published public cohorts without an account; signing in is required to join. Unlisted cohorts require a valid invitation from their creator. An invitation does not reserve a place: joining still depends on available capacity and the cohort being open for enrollment. Once the cohort has ended, new learners cannot join.
Can I join a cohort that has already started?
Yes, if the cohort has not ended, a place is available, and you have the required access or invitation. Your eligible work takes your cohort and pod joining times into account. Check the schedule before joining so you understand what you can still take part in.
What happens if I miss a live session?
After the session ends, catch up using the materials or recording your instructor makes available, then record recovery in Streamfiesta. Recovery can satisfy that session’s completion requirement. It remains separate from attending live, so your original attendance record stays accurate. The availability of a recording depends on your instructor.
Does submitting a checkpoint mean it is complete?
A submission shows participation and goes to your instructor for review. The checkpoint counts toward graduation once it is approved. If your instructor requests a revision, you can use the feedback to submit an improved version. Being on track is not the same as having every checkpoint approved.
Can I still catch up after the cohort ends?
Yes. Enrollment and changes to the learning schedule close at the end date, but you can still submit eligible late work, revise checkpoints, and record session recovery. Instructors can still review that work. Meeting your remaining eligible requirements can lead to completion after the scheduled end.
Who can see my progress and my commitment?
Progress is visible within the cohort experience, including to your instructor and other authorized cohort or pod members. Your optional commitment can be read by you, your current pod members, and the cohort creator through the pod. Pact notes and availability start private, with separate owner and current-pod sharing choices. Reflections start private and can be shared only with the owner. Public proof is another separate choice; it does not expose those details, private submissions, or your email.
Do I have to publish a completion proof?
No. Your completion is recorded without making a public proof. If you choose to publish, you need a display name and a recorded completion. The public link shows the saved learner and cohort names, completion date, and completion statistics. Anyone with the link can view it. There is currently no self-service option to unpublish a proof, so choose your display name and sharing decision carefully.
Do instructors have to enroll as learners?
No. The cohort creator already has instructor access to the cohort, sessions, checkpoints, and pods. Teaching teams, where enabled, can add co-instructors with scoped permissions. They can teach, review work, and inspect learner progress without taking a learner place. Instructors are not included in learner capacity, pod membership, progress requirements, Rescue Mode, or graduation.
Can I bring an existing course or my own meeting tools?
Yes. Use authorized external resources and meeting links, organize native lessons, or combine both. Native video, classrooms, recordings, lesson scheduling, and teaching teams depend on setup and cohort availability. Streamfiesta does not automatically import another platform’s course, bypass its access rules, or grant access to paid external materials.
What is the difference between a cohort, a course, and a classroom?
A course organizes learning material. A cohort is the group, schedule, support, and completion experience around the learning; it can exist without a course. A classroom is the place for a live session. A pod is a smaller group within the cohort. Each serves a different part of the same journey.
Are recovery rooms, payments, and the Learning Passport available?
Not yet. They are part of the expanded-launch roadmap shown below, along with scheduling, structured peer support, smarter replays, scoped search, and localization. The concept previews describe planned experiences, not working tools. We are not promising release dates.
Do I have to share my Pact or write a reflection?
No. Both are optional and never create graduation requirements. Your commitment keeps its existing audience. Pact details can be shared with the cohort owner and/or your current pod; reflections have a separate owner-only sharing choice. You can withdraw those audiences for future reads. Sharing cannot undo what someone already read. Normal instructor access and essential service messages remain separate.
Can Streamfiesta support universities and adult education?
The cohort model fits practical projects, professional programs, adult learning, and university continuing education. It is not currently a full institution-management system or an accredited credential provider. Institution-wide SSO, LMS/SIS integrations, formal institutional compliance programs, and minor-specific products are outside this launch.
