These study with me videos are so interesting that we wrote a paper about them: "Personalizing Ambience and Illusionary Presence: How People Use “Study with me” Videos to Create Effective Studying Environments" to appear at #chi2021 kixlab.github.io/website-files/

This college student has been live-streaming his daily study sessions for the past year, 12 hours straight, every day: youtube.com/c/JamesScholz/ He’s not narrating or providing funny commentary like a typical Twitch streamer. It’s just: you watch him study, very intently!

Thank you—this was quite interesting. I hadn’t considered the virtual-ambiance-creation mechanism, but it resonates. So many commenters talking about “vibe.”

Regarding the features (2.2.2): I was surprised that “creator’s screen visible” didn’t show up as a salient feature. I notice that I feel quite different watching a stream where I can see that the creator is e.g. deep in a textbook vs. where I just see their face. WDYT?
