The online class platform for experts who teach live
Masterclass.tv gives experts with an audience everything a paid live class needs in one link: ticket page, live room, on air Q&A, replay sales, affiliate links, certificates and payouts. You keep 75 percent of every ticket on every plan, paid to your own connected payout account after the class.
Everything a paid live class needs
No ticketing page in one tool, a meeting link in another and recordings in a third. One event page does all of it.
Tickets
Set your price, sell seats
Each class gets an event page with your price, a countdown in the viewer's time zone, seats left and checkout. Reminder emails go out 24 hours and 15 minutes before you start.
You keep
75%
of every ticket, on every plan
Live room
Stream your way
Go live from the browser studio, or from any streaming app with a stream key (RTMP).
Q&A
An upvoted question queue
The room votes, you answer the top questions on air.
Replay
Sell the replay after
On Pro and Studio, the recording keeps selling once the live class is over.
Affiliates
Tracked affiliate links
Give partners their own link and see which tickets each one sold.
Your audience
Export attendee emails
You own your audience. Attendees, certificates and payouts are all in your studio.
What one class can earn
The platform fee is 25 percent of each ticket and it is the same on every plan. Pro and Studio add tools and room size, not a bigger cut. Payouts go to your connected payout account after the class.
On top of tickets, half of all All Access revenue is shared every month between experts by minutes watched, so included classes keep earning from subscribers.
Example
| Tickets sold | 200 |
| Ticket price | 99 USD |
| Ticket revenue (200 x 99 USD) | 19,800 USD |
| Platform fee (25 percent) | 4,950 USD |
| You keep (75 percent) | 14,850 USD |
Example arithmetic, not a forecast. Replay sales and the All Access pool come on top.

Who owns the audience?
You do. You can export the emails of your attendees from your studio.
Can I sell the replay after the class?
Yes, on Pro and Studio. People who bought a ticket for the live class always keep the replay as well.
