Group Chat adds fully encrypted group messaging directly inside the Skool interface โ create groups, invite members, and chat in real time without leaving the platform. Click the group chat icon in your toolbar to open the panel. From here you can create a new group or join an existing one via invite link. Every group gets a unique invite URL that includes the encryption key, so new members automatically receive access to read all messages. Share the link with anyone who has the extension installed. Messages are end-to-end encrypted using AES-256-GCM. The encryption key is generated when a group is created and shared through invite links โ it never touches the server. This means the server stores only encrypted ciphertext that cannot be read by anyone except group members. The chat interface follows a familiar messaging layout: messages appear in speech bubbles with profile pictures and display names pulled from Skool profiles (cached locally for one week). Consecutive messages from the same person are grouped together without repeating the avatar. New messages arrive via polling every 3 seconds while the chat is open. Group management features include: renaming the group (any member), transferring admin rights, removing members (admin only), and deleting the group entirely. When members join, leave, or are removed, a system message appears in the chat so everyone stays informed. An unread badge on the toolbar icon shows how many unread messages you have across all groups, updating in real time as you read. The panel can be pinned to stay open during navigation โ and it remembers both the pin state and which group/view you were in, so after a page reload you pick up exactly where you left off. The feature requires a one-time consent prompt explaining what data is processed. All data is transmitted to api.skool-finder.com. Consent can be revoked at any time in the extension settings.
