Walkthrough · Students
Your class, your Study Hall
Join your class with the code your teacher gives you, then watch, take notes and hand in work together — in a focused space with no trivia and no distractions.
This walkthrough describes Pops Streams as designed. Steps marked “Planned” are being built and will switch to “Available now” as each phase ships.
- 1
Get your class code
Built · opens after privacy reviewYour teacher shares a class code that looks like TDSB-BIO11-OKAFOR. It links your account to the right school and class.

Sign up as a Student
Built · opens after privacy reviewChoose Student on the sign-up page and enter your class code. We show your board and class, and confirm your school has signed its data agreement — without it, student accounts can't be created.

- 18+ students get a full account straight away.

Your guardian confirms (under 18)
Built · opens after privacy reviewIf you're under 18, we email your parent or guardian a consent link that works for 14 days. Until they confirm, your account is class-only: your own class's Study Hall, no public rooms, no chat outside class and no profile others can see.
- Under 13: no account is created until the school office confirms with your guardian by phone or in person.
- Your guardian chooses extras — class chat and study groups, public group watches outside school hours, watch-history recommendations — and can change or revoke them at any time.
- Consent lasts one school year and is re-asked every September. At 18 you can consent for yourself.
