Changelog

What's new on WAL STUDIO — newest first.

Prices now show in your own currency

  • Series and episode pages now show the price in the currency you will actually be charged in, so a dollar price no longer appears with a Naira sign on it.
  • You only see payment methods that can take your currency, instead of picking one and finding out at checkout that it will not work.
  • When an event is not offered where you are, the page now says so plainly rather than telling you it is not on sale yet.

Tidier floating buttons

  • The Submit an Event button and the live chat no longer sit on top of each other, so both stay easy to see and tap on your phone and in the installed app.

Countdowns for upcoming events & episode pages

  • Got access to an event that has not started yet? You now see a live countdown to the start time instead of a blank screen, and you are let in automatically the moment it goes live.
  • Every episode in a series now has its own page with full details, so you can see what it is about before you join, then jump back to the series in one tap.
  • Series playlists now show each episode’s start date and time, so you always know when to come back.

Downloadable event materials

  • Events can now share downloadable materials like PDFs, slides, images and worksheets, so you can follow along and keep them afterwards.
  • You will find them under Event materials on the watch page, ready to download the moment you have access to the event.
  • Only people with access to an event can open its materials, so paid and private events stay protected.

Series & episodes

  • Follow your favourite creators across a whole series. Subscribe once and watch every episode as it drops.
  • Flexible access: subscribe to the full series, buy a single episode, or unlock one with a passcode.
  • Recurring subscriptions renew on their own each week or month, and you can switch off automatic renewal anytime from My Series.
  • Every series now has its own page with a banner and a clean episode playlist, so you always start in the right place.

A warmer welcome for new visitors

  • New visitors get a quick tour of what WAL offers: live and on demand streaming, secure payments in Naira or USD, live engagement and more.

International events & multi-currency

  • Events can now be opened to international viewers or kept to Nigeria, with specific countries blocked if needed.
  • International viewers pay in USD (via Flutterwave); Nigerian viewers pay in ₦ — the right option appears automatically.
  • Live Shop products show local pricing with a one-tap switch between ₦ and $.
  • Event organisers set their region & currency rules right on the submission form.
