# How FullHouse fits together

A few ideas explain most of how FullHouse behaves. Once these make sense, the settings tend to as well.

## Webinars are recordings that run like events

A **webinar** is your recording plus everything around it: pages, emails, chat, offers and so on. You set it up once and it runs for as long as it's published.

Nobody can pause or rewind during the session, and everyone in a session sees the same moment of the video. That's what makes a recording feel like an event, and what separates FullHouse from sending people a video link.

## Schedules create sessions

A **schedule** is a rule, such as "every Tuesday at 18:00" or "every 15 minutes between 08:00 and 22:00". A **session** is one actual start time that the rule produces. Registrants pick a session, and everyone who picks the same one watches together.

A webinar can have more than one schedule. [Schedules](/webinars/schedule) explains the four types: specific dates, recurring, just-in-time and instant watch.

## Registrants get a personal link

When someone registers, they become a **registrant** of that webinar and get a **personal link** that's unique to them. The same link takes them to the waiting room, the live room or, afterwards, the end-of-session page with its replay button, depending on when they open it. It's how FullHouse knows who showed up and how long they watched, without attendees ever needing an account.

Attendee pages live on `showtell.live`, a neutral address that doesn't mention FullHouse. [Custom domains](/workspace/custom-domain), for using your own address, are coming soon and will depend on your plan. You sign in at `app.meetfullhouse.com`.

## The room runs on a timeline

The **room timeline** is a track that runs alongside your video. You place **offers**, **polls**, **handouts** and **chat messages** at specific moments, and they appear for each attendee when the video reaches that point. It's set in advance, so it works the same at every session.

## There are three kinds of conversation

These are easy to mix up, and the difference matters:

| Kind | Who sees it | What it's for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Scheduled chat** | Everyone | Pre-written messages that appear at set moments, to give the room some life |
| **Shared chat** | Everyone in the room | Real attendees talking to each other, moderated by you |
| **Private questions** | The attendee and you | Questions for you, answered by you or by AI. When chat is set to private, messages typed in the chat box come to you this way too |

[Chat and questions](/webinars/chat-questions) covers how to turn each one on or off.

## Emails are planned at registration

When someone registers, FullHouse works out which of your emails they should get and when. Two things follow from this:

- If you **turn on** an email later, people who already registered won't get it.
- If you **edit** or **turn off** an email, the change does apply to messages that haven't gone out yet.

## Challenges are webinars joined together

A **challenge** is several days under one sign-up. Each day is really a webinar, so you set up each day's room in the same editor. Registrants get one link to a personal **hub** showing every day. See [Challenges](/challenges).

## Your workspace holds it all

Your **workspace** holds your webinars, challenges, brand, email sender, connected tools and files. Your **plan** sets three things: how much you can store, how many emails FullHouse Send delivers per day, and whether you can use the MCP server. See [Plan and usage](/workspace/plan-usage).
