Learning sticks when people do it together. With Community Learning, members post homework, reflections or video responses right under your lessons and see each other's work. That means more accountability, higher completion and real proof your course gets results, without extra live sessions from you.
Turn it on in course settings, add a prompt to any lesson, and choose whether students can see each other's responses. You can also import posts from your existing hubs, and remove anything as an admin.

  • Add a prompt to any lesson, for example "Show us a video doing the exercise", then switch on responses.
  • Choose whether students can see each other's responses, and whether post dates are shown.
  • Responses appear in a grid below the lesson, where members can watch and reply.
  • Import posts from any of your hubs to show them under a lesson.
  • Admins can remove any response, just like elsewhere in your community.
  • Classic courses work as before, and you can switch responses on later.

Course completion, certificates, badges and reviews
  • New finish page.
    Members land here when they complete a course. It shows a congratulations message with their name and completion date.
  • Certificates.
    Design your own certificate with different layouts and colours, and preview it before you publish. Members can add it to LinkedIn in one click.
  • Badges.
    Award a badge on completion. It appears on the member's profile and on their finish page.
  • Points.
    If gamification is on, award points for finishing a course.
  • Reviews.
    Ask members for a review when they finish, with your own question. Reviews can appear as a testimonial wall on the course information page, and you can delete any review at any time.
  • Completion settings.
    Customise the finish message, add a button that sends members onward, and prompt them to share their win.
Enroll members into a course
A new Enroll members button adds people to a course by group or individually, with a custom welcome email. For drip courses, members start getting lesson emails based on the schedule you've set for each module.

Sell a course without space access
Store products can now give access to a course on its own, without making the buyer a member of the space. When you add a product, pick the course under Content and turn on course-only enrolment.
Emoji reactions with video markers
React to posts with preset emojis or choose your own. On video posts, reactions show as markers on the playback bar and fly across the screen at the moment they were made.

Video editing and clips
  • Edit by transcript. Cut sections straight from the transcript, or remove every "um" and "uh" in one click with Cut all, then re-render. You can also edit captions and copy the full transcript.
  • Styles. Switch between landscape and square, add burned-in captions in a choice of styles, and add music, colours and your logo.
  • Clips. Generate clips automatically from the best moments, or make your own from any part of the video. You can render and download them for TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.

Pause while recording
You can now pause and resume while recording a video, including in hubs.
Branded event recordings
Give event recordings your own look:
  • edge-to-edge or spacious layouts
  • grid or active speaker view
  • speaker names
  • background colour
  • a logo watermark you can resize and position
  • an opening title card with your own text and colours
You'll find it under Recording when you create or edit an event.
New event listings
  • List view. Events now show as a list. The calendar is still there in the top right.
  • Clearer RSVP. A new RSVP button replaces the old toggle, and members get a downloadable calendar invite.
  • Presenters. Add photos for the people joining you on stage.
  • Topics. Tag events with topics so members can browse them by category. Add these in the event's Basic section.
  • Redesigned event screen. Creating and editing events has a fresh layout.

We're currently working on improving our course functionality in a big way. Here's what shipped this week, with more on the way:
๐Ÿ“š Sell course-only access from your store
Previously, when someone bought a course from your store, it also added them to the space containing the course. You can now sell course access only.
image
๐Ÿ A dedicated completion screen, prompting for reviews
When a student completes a course, it now opens on a proper completion page with:
  • A recap of what they got through
  • Their certificate (and option to publish it to LinkedIn)
  • The ability to leave you a review/testimonial that appears on your course's about page
  • A clear next step
image
๐ŸŽ–๏ธ Points and badges for finishing
You can now award points that count towards your member's level on the community leaderboard, plus award a badge - all configurable in your course settings.
image
๐ŸŽŠ Prompt students to share the win
After completing the course, prompt your members to post their win to a specific hub without leaving the course.
๐Ÿ‘“ Easier reading
Course content is capped to a comfortable width on large screens and module names wrap to two lines instead of being cut off mid-word.
Swarm now runs ads promoting your membership at no upfront cost to you. You pay 30% only when Boost brings you a paying customer.
No campaigns to build. No Facebook to touch. Fully automated.
image
โš™๏ธ Action required
Open Store Settings, select Discovery, and flip on "Boost my store" if it's not already on. Make sure your store is live* with at least one paid product and we'll automatically run ads for you.
That's it.
*You can only put your store live if you're on a paid plan.
โœ… Three things to check
Ads pull from what's already on your store, so a stronger store means stronger ads. Make sure your store has the following:
  1. Cover image โ€” Show what your community feels like.
  2. Name & sloganโ€” Punchy and specific. What do members join for?
  3. Store description โ€”Include the transformation members can expect.
Update this anytime. Boost picks up the changes when you make them and automatically refreshes your ads in the background.
๐Ÿ“ˆ See where members come from
New Store Analytics breaks down traffic and sales source. If Boost isn't earning its 30%, you'll see it.

Our job is to keep improving the ads. Yours is to keep building a community worth joining.
๐Ÿš€ Boost keeps getting better
Boost rebuilds your ads when your store changes. Add a new product or improve your store copy and Boost refreshes itself. Delivery constantly tunes toward people most likely to join your membership.
Some people are only comfortable engaging when a name isn't attached. E.g. Feedback about leadership. A health scare. The question everyone's thinking but nobody wants to be seen asking.
Until now your members had two options: post it and own it, or don't post it at all. Naturally, most picked the latter.
What's new:
An identity picker in the composer.
Writing a post or comment? Tap "Posting as [your name]" and switch to Anonymous. Your name and photo disappear in the feed, in notifications, in emails, everywhere.
Screenshot 2026-08-01 at 11
No back door.
Not "anonymous unless a moderator checks."
Nobody
in your community sees who posted, admins and owners included.
Screenshot 2026-08-01 at 11
You still get your replies.
Post anonymously and you're still notified when someone comments. Reply in your own thread and you stay anonymous โ€” no accidentally unmasking yourself three comments down.
Threads stay readable.
Each anonymous participant gets their own icon and colour for that conversation so you can follow who's saying what. These icons live in one thread only and never carry between them, so nobody builds up an accidental pseudonym.
This feature is off by default.
Toggle it on under Space Settings โ†’ User Experience when your community's ready, and leave it off if it isn't.

Perfect for feedback hubs, support spaces, and anywhere your members need room to be honest.
Your live events don't have to stay inside your community anymore. Now you can broadcast the same session to YouTube Live, Facebook, Twitch, LinkedIn, or any RTMP destination at the same time - reaching your public audience and your members in one go, without juggling extra software like StreamYard and Restream.
What's new:
  • Stream anywhere:
    Add your platform's server URL and stream key once, and Swarm pushes your live event out to it automatically when you go on air.
  • Reach two audiences at once:
    Run a single session and broadcast to your community and the world simultaneously (up to 2 external destinations per event).
  • Save your destinations:
    Set up a channel once and reuse it on every future event with a single checkbox. No re-entering keys.
  • Full control while you're live:
    See at a glance whether each destination is connecting, live, or needs attention, and stop or restart your external broadcast anytime โ€” your Swarm event keeps running either way.
Perfect for coaches, creators, and community leaders who want to grow their audience beyond their community - host once, reach everywhere.
Look for "Make this event public" when creating your next event.

The minutes before a live event kicks off used to be dead air. Not anymore. Watch a video walkthrough โ†’
Waiting rooms
Hold attendees in a branded waiting room until you're ready to go live. No more confused "is this thing on yet?" messages: everyone lands in one place and gets pulled into the event the moment you start.
They're enabled by default, but you can control this in your event settings:
Screenshot 2026-06-25 at 15
Once you're in the event room, you'll spot a new menu in the top right: use it to see who's currently waiting, or to go ahead and start the event. This will admit everyone from the waiting room:

Bee Line: your built-in pre-event game ๐Ÿ
Energy matters before you go live. Bee Line is a fun little social game built right into the waiting room, so attendees have something to do while you get set up. It's a small touch that makes your events feel premium and gets people joining literally "buzzing".
Attendees see this prompt while they wait and can jump into the game with one tap:

Bee Line plays like Flappy Bird with a twist: everyone in the waiting room competes for the top score.

Better live recordings
A few more updates:
  • Transcripts and meeting summaries used to cap at 30 minutes. That limit is gone. Now people who missed an event can read the full summary and get all the value without having to watch the recording.
  • Every recording now gets a sharp, auto-generated thumbnail.
  • You can choose the quality of your live recordings (SD or HD).
Daily, weekly, and monthly weren't enough? We agree.
The new custom recurrence picker lets you set up any cadence you can think of:
  • Every other Tuesday
  • The last Friday of every month
  • Every 3 weeks, until December
  • The 1st and 15th of each month
Screenshot 2026-06-25 at 15
If you can describe it in plain English, you can probably build it. And it all plays nicely with calendar exports, so your members see it on their calendar the same way you set it up.
Sometimes "$20 off" lands harder than "15% off."
You can now create coupons for any of your store products with a flat currency amount instead of a percentage. Currency prefix is automatic - your members see exactly what they're saving in the currency they're paying in.
Screenshot 2026-06-25 at 15
Members occasionally post in the wrong place. Until now, your only fix was to ask them to repost it themselves. Not great.
Admins can now move any post, with all of its replies attached, into a different hub. A few clicks and the whole conversation lands where it should have been all along.
  • Replies travel with the parent post, so nothing gets orphaned
  • A clear confirmation dialog means you won't move something by accident
  • Even read-only hubs show up in the picker if they're a valid home
Screenshot 2026-06-25 at 15
Small feature, big quality-of-life win.
One-time and free memberships can now carry a clear end date - and that date is shown to both you and your member, so there's no ambiguity about when access ends.
  • Set an end date on any one-time or free membership when you create or edit it
  • The expiry shows up on the member's profile, so you can see at a glance who's expiring soon
  • Members see their own expiry date too, so they know when it's time to renew
Screenshot 2026-06-25 at 15
Pairs nicely with renewal reminders if you're running courses, challenges, or seasonal programs.
