Skool just dropped several updates that make running live sessions, webinars, and communities even smoother. If you’ve got members showing up on calls, running workshops, or scaling your group, this week’s update matters.
🔴 Live Streaming Just Got Smarter: Pin for Everyone
Before this update, when you went live, it defaulted to a grid view. Now? You can pin any participant for everyone, so if someone’s presenting or speaking, the whole room sees them front and center.
- You can spotlight someone with a single click
- Want to highlight multiple people? That’s coming soon
- What you see in your live room = what’s shown in the recording
The biggest win? Recordings look exactly like the live room layout, so you get a clean, pro feel without editing later.

🎥 Skool Webinars (Coming Soon)
They also teased something big: Skool Webinars. This is different from standard Skool calls.
With Webinars:
- Members join as silent viewers (no camera or mic by default)
- Only the host or selected people go on stage
- You can run 1,000+ person events without chaos|
- Chat still works, and you can bring people up if needed
This is perfect for creators, course launches, workshops, or group trainings that need structure. Expected release? 7-14 days.
📊 Improved Analytics + Subscription Tiers
Here’s what else is on the roadmap:
- Subscription Tiers: Let members choose between different levels (free, paid, VIP)
- Advanced Analytics: A full upgrade to what you currently get. The goal? “From average to best in class.” ETA: likely 30+ days
- This means better insights, better pricing models, and more ways to scale.
💰 First $400K/mo Creator on Skool (Almost)
Spencer Pawliw, founder of Maker School, is currently at $394,000 MRR on Skool. That’s not a typo. He surpassed Nick Saraev, who hit $300K/month with his AI-focused community.
More impressive: 25% of that revenue ($100K/month) is coming from Skool’s own referral system.
He pays $99/month for his group. He’s getting $100,000/month back.
That’s a 100,000x ROI.
It’s the highest recorded monthly income on Skool to date.
