Not to do homework together: to have someone studying while you study. A video call for two, a set time, and then silence.
Sessions start on a fifteen minute grid, all day and all night, and a session lasts either twenty five or fifty minutes. You are paired only with someone who picked the same time and the same length, so pick the length first.
Reading the clock...
The times above come from the clock on your device, so they are already the ones you read on your own watch. Booking needs an account, which is free and takes an email address and a code.
Studying with others isn't a study group. In a group you review together, ask each other questions, split the work. Studying with others is something else: each of you has your own book and exercises, but you do it next to someone. It's what happens in a library or a study room, and online it works the same way: an open video call, two people, each on their own work.
The difference from studying alone isn't a trick. It's the time: there's an hour when you said you'd be there, and someone sees you arrive.
Most people who look for a study buddy online post a message, find someone, and lose them within a few days. Nobody did anything wrong: an arrangement made in a chat has no set time and rests on one person. Here the fixed part is the time. You book a slot, and whoever booked the same slot is your study partner for that session. If they don't show up, the session starts anyway: for the first 5 minutes we look for someone while you work. If nobody arrives, you choose: carry on with a virtual companion, and if you stay until the end the session counts in full, look for a person in the next quarter hour, or leave.
A camera study partner, no talking: that's how a normal session works here. The camera stays on, the microphone can stay muted from start to finish, and apart from one sentence at the start about what you'll do, nobody expects you to talk.
Search for "sites to study with strangers" and you'll find four different things:
Pick a time, there's one every quarter of an hour, and a length, 25 or 50 minutes. Whoever booked the same time and length is the person you study with. In the first two minutes you tell each other what you'll do, then silence until the timer ends. If nobody took your time, the session starts anyway.
If you say you study at university, when there is one we pair you first with other university students. If a classmate wants to study with you, send them an invite link with the times you suggest.
It helps people who put things off at home, who study alone for weeks, who can't get to a library. It doesn't help people looking for explanations or someone to check their work: on the other side there's no tutor, there's a person studying.
Many people study better when someone is waiting for them at a set time. That's a statement about what people do, not a promise about what will happen to you: the only way to find out is one session.
Yes, it's free. No credit card, no ads.
With another person who booked the same time and length. You can block anyone you'd rather not see again and report a session.
In the first two minutes, to say what you'll do, and in the last two, to say how it went. In between, silence.
