How to Book a 1-on-1 Video Session with Your Favourite Creator

Step-by-step guide to booking a private video call with verified creators on Cove — from discovery to confirmation.

Why Book a 1-on-1 Session?

Fan meets and DMs only get you so far. A live 1-on-1 video session gives you uninterrupted, undivided time with the creator you admire most — whether that's a fitness coach walking you through your form, a musician playing a song you requested, or a developer reviewing your portfolio live.

Cove is built precisely for this. Every session is private, time-boxed, and scheduled at a time that works for both you and the creator.

Step 1 — Discover the Right Creator

Head to covehq.net/discover and browse by category — fitness, music, gaming, career, lifestyle, and more. Each creator profile shows their available session types, duration, price, and recent reviews from real fans.

Use the search bar to find a specific creator by name or niche.

Step 2 — Choose a Session Type

Creators set their own session formats. Common options include:

  • 15-minute Q&A — Quick fire questions, fast feedback.
  • 30-minute deep-dive — Ideal for mentorship, coaching, or a detailed conversation.
  • 60-minute session — Extended time for workshops, creative collabs, or in-depth reviews.

Each listing shows exactly what to expect and what the creator will (and won't) do in the session.

Step 3 — Pick a Time Slot

Cove syncs with the creator's real availability. You'll see open slots in your local timezone — no manual conversion needed. Pick the slot that works for you and proceed to checkout.

Step 4 — Pay Securely

Cove uses Stripe for all payments. Your card is charged at booking, and the creator only receives payout after the session is completed. If the creator cancels or doesn't show, you get a full refund automatically.

Step 5 — Join the Session

You'll receive a confirmation email with a unique video link. At the scheduled time, click the link and you're live. No downloads, no accounts to create — just a browser and a camera.

After the Session

Leave a review to help other fans discover great creators. Reviews are verified (only people who completed a session can leave one), so they actually mean something.
