Community & live sessions

Course communities

Every course has its own community with two kinds of threads:

• Doubts — a question anchored to the course or a specific lesson. If the course has an AI tutor, it posts a first response (clearly labeled as AI); human tutors and fellow learners answer too. As the asker, you mark the answer that resolved your doubt — the thread moves from answered to resolved.
• Discussions — open threads among the people taking the course together.

Reading published threads is public (no account needed); posting requires sign-in and enrollment in the course.

Moderation

Course communities are public spaces on a branded surface, and they're moderated:

• Every post has a Report button; reports go to a moderation queue.
• Moderators can hide posts and lock threads; tutors can lock threads in their courses. All actions are audit-logged.
• Per-user rate limits apply to thread and post creation.
• AI-authored posts are always labeled.

Thread authors are emailed when new answers arrive (batched to avoid mail storms). Direct messages between learners are deliberately not a feature — conversation stays in course-scoped threads.

Live sessions (Google Meet)

Tutors schedule course-scoped live sessions — office hours, doubt-clearing calls (a session can be spawned directly from a doubt thread), and exam-prep walkthroughs — joined via Google Meet.

• Upcoming sessions are listed on the course page.
• RSVP to get reminder emails and the session on your calendar.
• Join from the session page at start time.

Meetups (YouTube Live)

Academy-wide meetups — AMAs, release walkthroughs, security deep-dives — are broadcast on YouTube Live and embedded on an Academy event page with a live Q&A thread alongside the stream. Anyone signed in can RSVP; event pages are publicly viewable.

When the stream ends, the recording persists on the same page, so the meetups section doubles as the archive of past events.

In short: Google Meet sessions are interactive and small-group; YouTube Live meetups are one-to-many broadcasts with a permanent replay.
