A Studio Host is the highest rank in a studio. They are normally the creator of a studio (although it can be transferred to other Scratchers).
Capabilities
Studio hosts have the capabilities of curators and managers, but they also have their own capabilities. They can:
- Change the studio description
- Edit the thumbnail
- Change the studio's title
- Delete the studio
However, studio hosts who are student accounts cannot invite curators. If the student account is the only person in a studio, the studio will not be able to add new curators or managers. This was updated in May 2025.[1]
Becoming a Host
In order to be a host, one must have the Scratcher Status. To become a host of a studio, they need to either create it or be transferred by the old host as the new host. To create a studio, one has to log in, go to My Stuff, and then press "+ New Studio". Studios can not be created by New Scratchers or student accounts.

On September 14th, 2021, the ability to transfer hosts was added.[2] To change a host, there must be another manager in the studio. The studio host needs to press the 3 dot symbol next to its username. Then, there will be a pop-up asking to confirm if they want to do this. Afterwards, there will be another pop-up asking which manager to change to the studio host. Once you choose a manager, there will be one more pop-up asking the original host to enter their password before confirming the transfer. After transferring, the original host will become a manager. The new studio host will receive a message about becoming the new host.
