Everything an AutoCreator site can do

Every AutoCreator membership site is built from the same blocks — a video library, structured courses, an LMS, live classes, community, and more. Turn on the ones that fit your business and leave the rest off. Here's what each one is, what it does, how it works, and when to use it.

Content & library

What members watch, read and learn.

Library

The Library is your main video collection — the page where members browse, search and filter all your classes.

Turning it on gives members a searchable grid of every class, with category, instructor and duration filters; turning it off removes the Library link from the menu entirely. Each class can be set to members-only, free for everyone, or sold separately as a package.

How it works

1Make sure "Library" is on under Settings → Pages and sections.
2Open a class under Admin → Videos and use the Access tab to choose Gated (members only), Free for everyone, or Only via package.
3On the same class page, set a friendly title, instructor and category so it shows up in the filters.
4Tick "Featured class" and set a sort order to pin a class to the top of the grid.

When to use it: Keep it on for almost every tenant — it's the core of the member experience; only turn it off if your site is built around courses or audio instead of a browsable class library.

Courses

Courses are structured, multi-part programs — a guided sequence of classes grouped into days that members follow from start to finish.

Enabling it adds a Courses page where members pick a program and work through it day by day, with progress saved as they go; courses without any content are hidden automatically so the page never shows empty cards.

How it works

1Make sure "Courses" is on under Settings → Pages and sections.
2Go to Admin → Collections (Courses) and click "New collection" to create a program with a title, cover image, category and instructor.
3Add days to the program and attach one or more classes to each day.
4To sell a course separately, set its collection to "Only via package" so only buyers see it.

When to use it: Turn it on when you offer guided programs or challenges (a 30-day series, a beginner course); leave it off if all your content is standalone classes browsed freely.

LMS (course quizzes & certificates)

The LMS turns your courses into a real learning experience: quizzes on individual classes, locked progression, and completion certificates members can earn and share.

When on, you can add a quiz to any course day; a "graduation" quiz must be passed before the next day unlocks, and members who finish every day and pass every graduation quiz automatically get a certificate with a public verification link.

How it works

1Turn on "LMS" under Settings → Pages and sections (it's off by default).
2Open a course day under Admin → Collections → (course) → Days, and scroll to the Quiz section.
3Write questions by hand or click "Generate with AI from transcript", then set the mode: Informational (a knowledge check) or Graduation (must be passed to continue), and a pass threshold.
4Save the quiz — certificates are then issued automatically as members complete each program.

When to use it: Turn it on if you run training, teacher courses or certifications where passing and proof of completion matter; leave it off for casual content where quizzes would just add friction.

Public transcript pages (SEO)

This publishes the written transcript of your classes on a public /learn page that Google and AI assistants can read, while the actual video stays locked to members.

When on, every class that has a transcript becomes its own searchable, indexable web page with a thumbnail and a "become a member" call to action — turning your library into thousands of pages that bring in new visitors without giving the videos away.

How it works

1Turn on "Public transcript pages (SEO)" under Settings → Pages and sections (it's off by default).
2Make sure your classes have transcripts: open a class under Admin → Videos and use the Transcript workspace to generate or paste one.
3Visit /learn on your site to see the published pages; only classes with a real transcript (and not hidden) appear.
4Hidden classes are never published, so hide anything you don't want indexed.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want more organic traffic and discovery from Google and AI search; leave it off if you'd rather keep all your class content fully private.

Audio rooms

Audio rooms is a dedicated audio library — meditations, yoga nidra, breathwork and podcasts members can listen to with a background player.

Enabling it adds an Audio rooms page where tracks are grouped into sections (meditation, nidra, breath, relaxation) plus embedded podcasts, and a player bar keeps audio going while members close the screen or move around the site.

How it works

1Turn on "Audio rooms" under Settings → Pages and sections.
2Upload audio tracks and tag each one with its section (meditation, nidra, breath or relaxation) so it lands in the right group.
3To add a podcast, paste a Spotify link under Admin → Podcasts and it embeds on the page automatically.
4Open /audio-room (Lydrom) to check how the sections and player look.

When to use it: Turn it on if you offer meditations, guided rest or podcasts that people listen to without watching; leave it off if all your content is video.

Animated thumbnails

Animated thumbnails show a short, silent video preview that fades in when a member hovers over a class card, instead of a still image.

When on, hovering any class card across the Library, favorites and playlists plays a looping preview clip, giving members a quick feel for the class before they click — purely visual, nothing to configure per class.

How it works

1Turn on "Animated thumbnails" under Settings → Pages and sections (it's off by default).
2That's the whole setup — the preview is generated automatically from each video, so there's nothing to add per class.
3Hover a class card in the Library to confirm the preview fades in on your site.

When to use it: Turn it on for a livelier, more polished browsing feel; leave it off if you prefer a calmer, quieter look or want to keep page loading as light as possible.

Engagement & live

Keep members coming back and connected.

Live schedule

A schedule where members see upcoming live sessions (typically over Zoom) in a calendar for the next two weeks, and can sign up straight from the page.

Members get a dedicated "Live classes" page in the menu with a day-by-day overview, and your instructors can create sessions and sell tickets (fixed price, pay-what-you-want, or free). The Zoom link is sent to the participant after they sign up.

How it works

1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections" and turn on "Live schedule".
2Ask an instructor to open "My live classes" and connect Stripe the first time (required to take payment).
3The instructor clicks "New live class", fills in title, start time, duration, Zoom link and price, and saves.
4The new session appears automatically in members' schedule.

When to use it: Turn it on if you're running live sessions right now; leave it off if you only offer on-demand video, so members don't see an empty schedule.

Retreats

A dedicated page that showcases upcoming retreats and longer getaways, each with an image, description and date — plus a link out to your own sign-up or info page.

Members get a "Retreats" page in the menu where they can browse your trips and click through to read more or sign up. The actual booking/payment happens on your own external page (retreats aren't paid for inside the platform).

How it works

1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections" and turn on "Retreats".
2Ask an instructor to open "My retreats" and click "New retreat".
3Fill in title, description and date, and upload an image.
4Paste the link to your own retreat page in the "Link to your retreat page" field, and save.

When to use it: Turn it on when you have a retreat to promote; if the page is empty it shows a placeholder preview, so it's best to add at least one real retreat or leave the section off until you do.

Surveys (pre/post-class)

Short feedback questions shown as a small field under the class — before or after the session — so members can share how they're doing. It's not a quiz and there's no grading.

Members see the questions right below the video and can answer without interrupting playback. You collect the responses in admin, with both counts (for multiple choice) and free-text comments in one place.

How it works

1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections" and turn on "Surveys".
2Open "Surveys" from the admin menu.
3Pick "Pre-class" or "Post-class", choose a question type (free text, single choice or multiple choice), write the question and click "Save".
4Watch responses build up under each question; use "Hide" to take a question out of view temporarily.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want to understand how members feel around classes — for example energy level before or how they feel after; leave it off if you're not collecting feedback.

Community

A dedicated community section with an activity feed of all comments across classes, a directory of members, and messages from you to your members.

Members get a "Community" page where they see what others are commenting on, can react with positive reactions, and read "Start here" pages you create. Members can't private-message each other — only you (admin) can broadcast messages to everyone, and members can write in to you.

How it works

1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections" and turn on "Community".
2Send a welcome message via Admin → Community → "Broadcasts" (a one-way message to all members).
3Reply to member messages in Admin → Community → "Inbox".
4Keep the feed tidy via Admin → Community → "Moderation", where reported comments can be hidden or deleted.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want to build a sense of community around your classes and stay reachable for members; leave it off if you prefer a clean video library without a social layer.

Global live chat

A setting that makes the live chat under a video show comments from ALL classes at once — not just that single video — so it feels like one lively stream across the whole platform.

Instead of a quiet chat on each individual video, members see the latest comments from across the platform, each tagged with a clickable class title they can jump to. It makes even less-watched videos feel active.

How it works

1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections".
2Turn on "Global live chat".
3That's it — the chat under each video automatically switches to showing comments from all classes, with a clickable class title.

When to use it: Turn it on when your library is new or quiet and you want the chat to feel alive; leave it off if you'd rather each video keep its own focused conversation.

Quote of the day

A small inspirational quote shown on members' dashboard (the home page after login), as a calm reminder to carry into their day.

When on, a short "Quote of the day" section appears on the dashboard with a quote and a little encouraging note. It's a built-in, ready-made text — you don't have to write anything yourself.

How it works

1Go to Settings → "Pages and sections".
2Turn on "Quote of the day".
3The quote shows automatically on members' dashboard — no extra setup needed.

When to use it: Turn it on if a calm, inspirational tone fits your brand (typical for yoga/wellness); leave it off if it doesn't match your style.

Growth & communication

Bring people in and reach the ones you have.

Instructors

A dedicated profile page for each of your instructors, with a photo, a short bio, and links to the classes and programs they teach. Members see an overview of all instructors and can click into each one.

When this is on, members get an «Instructors» page in the menu where they can get to know your team, and each profile automatically gathers that instructor's popular classes and programs in one place.

How it works

1Turn on «Instructors» under Settings → Pages and sections.
2Go to Instructors in the admin menu and click «+ New instructor».
3Fill in the name, a short bio and upload a profile photo, then save.
4Drag and drop instructors in the list to set the order they appear in.

When to use it: Turn it on when you have named instructors you want to showcase as part of your brand; leave it off if your content isn't tied to specific people.

Partner studios

A list of physical studios you partner with, each with its own page: photos, a description, contact info and an invitation for your members to visit. Think of it as a «our friends» directory of partner locations.

When this is on, members get a «Partner studios» page where they can find physical places to train while travelling or living nearby, with offers and a welcome from each studio.

How it works

1Turn on «Partner studios» under Settings → Pages and sections.
2Go to Partner studios in the admin menu and click «Create partner studio».
3Fill in the name, city, description and contact info, and upload a main image and gallery.
4Optionally write an invitation at the bottom (what a visiting member gets), and leave «Visible to members» on when you're ready to publish.

When to use it: Turn it on if you actually have physical partner studios to feature; leave it off if you're fully digital and don't collaborate with locations.

Invite a friend (referrals)

A referral feature where every member gets their own personal invite link, plus an «Invite a friend» button at the top of the page. The friend gets a free trial, and the member who referred them is credited a free month.

When this is on, members can share their link and earn free months, while new friends get e.g. 30 days free. Everything — the trial, the credit and the reward — happens automatically through Stripe, and you see stats and recent referrals in admin.

How it works

1Go to Referrals in the admin menu and turn on the feature at the top.
2Choose how many free days the friend gets and which reward the referrer earns.
3Decide what members can see (referral count, pending rewards, friends list, leaderboard) under visibility.
4Track results in the stat cards and the «Recent referrals» table.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want happy members to help you grow through word of mouth; leave it off if you don't want to offer free periods or rewards right now.

Guest pass

A section that lets members give away temporary access to someone else — for example a friend who wants to try the content for a short while.

When this is on, the guest-pass section appears for members. The feature is still being built, so the actual giving-away of access isn't live yet.

How it works

1Go to Settings → Pages and sections in admin.
2Find «Guest pass» in the list and use the on/off toggle.
3Leave it off for now — the full guest-pass flow is coming in a later update.

When to use it: Leave it off until the feature is finished; we'll let you know when guest pass is ready to use.

Playlists

Members can build their own collections of classes in named playlists. You can also, via the assistant Benny, put together a curated playlist for one specific member and attach a personal one-time message.

When this is on, members get a «My playlists» page and a «Playlist» button on classes. A playlist you assign through Benny shows up as «From your coach», and your one-time message appears the first time the member opens it.

How it works

1Turn on «Playlists» under Settings → Pages and sections (off by default).
2Members build their own playlists from «My playlists» or the button on a class.
3To assign a playlist: ask Benny to create one for a specific member and pick the classes.
4Optionally add a short welcome message, and confirm before Benny sends it.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want members to organise their favourite classes, or when you want to send personally tailored class lists; leave it off if you want to keep the member page simple.

Member messages (email)

A chat window on the member's page in admin where you write a message (or ask Benny to write it) that's sent 1:1 to that one member by email. The thread shows what you've sent and whether it went through.

When this is on, you can send personal emails to one member at a time from your own sending address, and see the status (sent, blocked or failed). It never sends bulk email, and messages respect a member's choice to turn off communication.

How it works

1Turn on «Member messages» under Settings → Pages and sections (off by default).
2Open a member under Members in admin — the chat window sits at the top of the page.
3Write your message and click Send; it goes to the member by email and is saved in the thread.
4Optionally: ask Benny to draft it, approve the text, and let Benny send it.

When to use it: Turn it on when you want to follow up with individual members personally by email; leave it off if you prefer other channels for one-to-one contact.
