Features / Studio

Run it all from one plain menu.

Studio is where you set up and run your community: content, pricing, members, orders and settings. One menu, built for owners who aren't technical.

Studio, selling a course: four videos uploading as lessons, then who can join, then publish — Selling a course in Studio, start to publish.

Selling a course, side by side

The same job on a WordPress and BuddyBoss site, and in Studio.

WordPress with BuddyBoss

A plugin for each part

3 plugins · 3 settings areas · 3 sets of updates

BuddyBoss for the community and its groups
LearnDash for the course and its lessons
WooCommerce or MemberPress to take the payment

Each one has its own settings screens and its own updates.

Studio

One menu item: Courses

1 menu item · 4 steps · 1 screen

The steps at the top of Studio's course editor: Basics, Lessons, Who can join, Publish

Basics: the name and the course card
Lessons: upload your videos, and each becomes a lesson
Who can join: any member for free, or paying members through a plan or product
Publish: a paid course needs a way to pay before it goes live

Four steps on one screen. It's the flow in the video above.

Six things, then you're live.

A short checklist gets you live, and the founder can go through it with you on a call. Then you pick what to set up first, and Studio walks you through the steps.

Everything in one menu

This is the whole menu. Each row is one part of it, top to bottom. No plugins to install and no second admin to learn.

Dashboard and AnalyticsMembers and signups, revenue and monthly recurring revenue, course enrollments and completions, and group activity, at a glance.
AnnouncementsPost a notice to your members, shown as a banner across your site.
MembersYour member list, roles and suspensions, and a CSV export. Invite people by email, many addresses at once, and each gets a join link.
Groups, Courses, Blogs, Events
- Groups: free or paid, each with its own feed, members and shared files.
- Courses: upload many videos at once, or a whole folder, and each becomes a lesson. Uploads keep going while you work.
- Blogs: a block editor, with premium Collections for paying members.
- Events: online or in person, and members get reminders before they start.
PricingPlans and one-time products in one place. A paid group or course can't go live without a price. Give access adds paid content to a member for free.
Orders
Who paid, for what and when, with refunds that close the access they gave. Every order shows the TribeCrafter fee, $0.00, and that the money went to your own Stripe account.
A real order: $299.00 paid, TribeCrafter fee $0.00, paid out to your Stripe account.
ReportsReported posts and comments land in a review queue. Remove, restore or keep them, and suspend or reactivate the author. You and your Community Admins get a notification for each new report.
SettingsBranding, landing page, search engine settings (SEO), legal pages, sign-in, your domain and sending email, Stripe payouts, and which features are switched on.

Bring your team

Give each person a role. Moderators, Course Managers and Blog Managers see a shorter menu with only the parts their job needs, and never your members' email addresses.

Community AdminOpens: everythingRuns the community with you. Only you, the owner, can change another admin's role or access.
ModeratorOpens: Members, Reports, GroupsWorks the review queue for the whole community: removes, restores or keeps reported posts, and can suspend the author.
Course ManagerOpens: CoursesBuilds and updates courses and their lessons.
Blog ManagerOpens: BlogsWrites and publishes blog posts.

Admins and Moderators each take a team seat, you included: 3 on Starter, 10 on Growth, 30 on Scale. Course Managers and Blog Managers don't count. Compare plans

Questions owners ask about Studio

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can fill in a form and upload a video, you can run Studio. Every area is one item in the menu, and nothing needs a plugin or code.

What does it take to go live?

Six items: your community name, logo, welcome heading, welcome text, guidelines and one published group. Studio ticks each one as you save it. Until then, visitors see a holding page, and the founder can go through the list with you on a call.

Does the founder set it up for me?

He walks you through Studio and answers your questions, when you start and after, while you add your courses and posts.

Can I run Studio from my phone?

Yes, in your phone's browser: the menu opens from the button at the top. Your members use the community in their phone's browser too, and native iOS and Android apps arrive in early 2027.

Can I try Studio before I pay?

Yes. The 14-day free trial includes all of Studio, and you don't need a card. Ask within 30 days of your first payment and we refund it in full. After that, cancel anytime.

I'm moving from another platform. Do I set everything up again?

From WordPress or BuddyBoss, we move your members and the content that matters, and you check it in Studio. From Kajabi, Teachable, Circle, Mighty Networks, Skool or a Facebook group, you invite your members by email and add your content in Studio. How a BuddyBoss move works

Will my members see the Beta label?

No. It sits in the menu only you and your staff see. Studio went live on 2 November 2026, runs live communities today, and gets updates every one to two weeks.

Can my team use it without seeing everything?

Yes. Moderators see Members, Reports and Groups, Course Managers see Courses, and Blog Managers see Blogs. None of them see your members' email addresses. Admins and Moderators take a team seat; Course Managers and Blog Managers don't.

Can I hide parts of the community I don't use?

Yes. In Settings you can turn off courses, events and the blog while you don't use them, and chat at any time.

Open Studio today.

Set it up yourself, or book 30 minutes with the founder first and ask anything.
