Question 1

What is Only Focus?

Accepted Answer

Only Focus is a free virtual study room platform. You join a live video stage with other people, turn on your camera, and study together in real time. It uses peer-to-peer video so there are no servers recording your stream.

Question 2

Is Only Focus free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Only Focus is completely free. You can join or create study rooms, use the Pomodoro timer, ambient sound mixer, and chat at no cost. A Pro plan with HD video and private rooms is coming soon.

Question 3

Do I need to download anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Only Focus works entirely in your web browser. No downloads, no extensions, no app installs. Just visit the site and join a room.

Question 4

What is a mic-free study room?

Accepted Answer

A mic-free room is a silent study stage where all microphones are disabled. Everyone studies on camera but in complete silence — ideal for deep focus work.

Question 5

How is Only Focus different from StudyStream?

Accepted Answer

Only Focus is free and open, with peer-to-peer video that does not route through centralized servers. It includes a built-in Pomodoro timer, ambient sound mixer, mic-free rooms, and a friends system. There are no paywalls for core features.

Question 6

Is my video private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Only Focus uses WebRTC peer-to-peer connections. Your video and audio stream directly between participants without passing through a central server. Only people in the same room can see your camera.
