The hardest part about running a community? Getting people to actually engage.

Swarm already delivers more participation than any other platform. Add leaderboards, levels, badges, and activity tracking? Now you've got the most engaging community platform, period.

Set custom points for likes, replies, and video posts. Want more video content? Award bonus points. Want to discourage low-effort posts? Set them to zero. You decide what matters.

Create levels with custom point thresholds and rename them to match your vibe. Members see exactly what it takes to level up and can track their progress in real time.

Choose from our badge library or create your own. Auto-award them when members hit milestones, or assign them manually with a personal message. Either way, they get an email celebrating their achievement.

The activity chart shows engagement patterns over time. The darker the green, the more active they've been. It sparks healthy competition and helps members support each other's growth.

You can now invite guests to live events without requiring them to join your community first.

Perfect for open webinars, workshops, podcast recordings, or letting prospects experience your space before committing.

When an event is open to guests, Swarm automatically creates a shareable registration page.

Send one link and let members and non-members attend the same event, no account required.

Invite external speakers to present on your live streams or webinars without adding them to your space.

Guest presenters receive an email invite and can join directly on the day. Simple and secure.

A few big updates rolled out this week:

Line up your content ahead of time and let Swarm handle the rollout. Look for the new schedule button in the post editor.

Filter and sort by All Posts, My Posts, Scheduled, or a custom date range so it is easier to find what matters.

Run broadcast-style events where you decide who gets a spot on stage. Everyone else can follow along in the chat while your selected speakers lead the session.

Members now get a simple round-up of last week’s activity to keep them even more engaged. Emails include popular posts, trending comments, new members (not send for 1:1 spaces) and upcoming events. You can configure this in Space settings under Member Notifications.

You can now edit transcriptions on any videos created in your Hubs and Courses. You can also create and download captioned videos as well as SLT and VTT files.

Look for the Transcription menu item on your video posts.

When setting up your products, we've introduced a new tab where you can share or link to your Terms of Service and/or Privacy Policy.

When you've added at least one of these, a new checkbox appears on your product page that must be checked before customers can purchase or access your product.
