𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 — 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘁 Long posts don't always arrive at a convenient moment. Read Aloud puts a speaker icon into the post header, right next to the bookmark icon: click it and the post is read to you — the title first, then the text. Classroom lessons carry the same icon in their action row, so a written lesson can be listened to instead of read — there too, a folded text is unfolded before it is read out. In the feed the icon sits on every post card alongside the bookmark, so a post can be heard without opening it; both appear only while the mouse is over the card, and stay visible whenever they show a state — a post being read out, a bookmark that is set, a card that was auto-translated. The voice comes from your browser, so there is nothing to set up and nothing to pay for. Which voices exist depends on your operating system and browser; Read Aloud picks the one matching your Skool Extensions interface language. If the post is still folded behind a "Show more" link, it unfolds first, so you hear the whole thing instead of just the opening. A second click stops it — while a post is playing, the icon stays green. Moving on to another post ends the playback too, so a post you left behind never talks over the one you are reading now. Hovering the icon opens a small menu with two settings: speed between 0.75× and 2×, and every voice your system has to offer, grouped by language. The group at the top is the language the text is actually in — the one the community writes in, or, while auto-translation is on for that community, the language it translates into. Your interface language only decides the labels. The groups are collapsed, except the one holding the voice currently in use — a machine with two dozen voices would otherwise fill the whole menu with names you never pick. Above them sit the cloud voices, a Premium addition. They come from OpenAI instead of your operating system and sound markedly more natural, German included — useful when your machine has no voice for the language at all. They are not tied to a language: each of the six speaks every language, which is why the group is labelled "all languages" rather than sorted like the system voices. A cloud voice has to be fetched before it can play, which takes a moment. Picking a voice stops the current reading straight away and the icon shows a spinning ring until the new voice takes over at the passage you had reached. Each Premium account gets 66,000 tokens a month, one token per character read out, which is roughly forty-five average posts. Listening to the same post again is free and does not count: once a post has been read aloud, its recording is kept and shared, so the second person to play it pays nothing. The counter at the bottom of the menu shows what is left, and it resets at the start of each month. Both take effect right away. Clicking a voice starts reading immediately, and if a post is already playing it carries on at the passage being read rather than starting over — that also holds when switching between a browser voice and a cloud voice. The choice stays on the device you made it on, because which voices exist depends on the machine.

After trying the Free version, I’m testing the Premium version before upgrading to VIP. Thanks to Marco for his efficiency in answering questions.

𝗠𝘆𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 — 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿. Skool always drops you into one community at a time — there is no page that shows your whole Skool life at once. MySkool gives you that home: a personal cross-community feed that takes over the page and pulls posts from every community you pick into one stream, newest first. Open MySkool from its entry in Skool's native pin bar — it rides along like any other pin and can be moved the same way. One unified selector box at the top controls everything: pick individual communities, hit the "All communities" chip to follow everything, use the sync button for a fresh pull, or grab a "Copy link" to share the view. The same selection spans all three tabs — feed, calendar and classroom — so the events and lessons from all your chosen communities are gathered in one place too. The feed is not read-only: edit your own posts and comments inline, vote in polls straight from the stream, and like and comment as if you were inside the community. Every post shows its community icon, so you always know where a conversation lives — one click takes you there. MySkool is a Premium feature and can be toggled in the Extension Settings. --- 𝗠𝘆𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 — 𝗪𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆𝘀 𝘇𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗸𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻 Skool setzt dich immer in eine Community zur Zeit — es gibt keine Seite, die dein ganzes Skool-Leben auf einmal zeigt. MySkool gibt dir dieses Zuhause: ein persönlicher Community-übergreifender Feed, der die Seite übernimmt und Posts aus jeder Community, die du wählst, in einen Stream zieht, Neuestes zuerst. Öffne MySkool über seinen Eintrag in Skools nativer Pin-Leiste — es fährt dort wie jeder andere Pin mit und lässt sich genauso verschieben. Eine einheitliche Auswahlbox oben steuert alles: Wähle einzelne Communities, nimm den „Alle Communitys"-Chip, um allem zu folgen, nutze den Sync-Button für einen frischen Abruf oder „Link kopieren", um die Ansicht zu teilen. Dieselbe Auswahl spannt über alle drei Tabs — Feed, Kalender und Classroom —, sodass auch die Termine und Lektionen all deiner gewählten Communities an einem Ort versammelt sind.

#1 in the Chrome Web Store - 683 users - Tons of positive feedback So, since today's update, the Skool Extensions have slipped to number 1 in the Chrome Web Store 🥳 (currently the best browser extension for Skool) The extension is now about 2.5 months old and has taken a bombastic turn. I got so much awesome feedback from you. Thank you very much at this point 🙏 Obviously there are some functions for us on Skool that sweeten our everyday lives in the many Skool communities. And that is exactly my ultimate goal: 𝗧𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 💪🏼 Free and as simple as possible. If you would like to give something back, I would be happy if you - did recommend the extension, - rated with 5 stars in the web store - you are really active here in the community, - or simply leave me positive feedback here as a comment. At this rate, the 1,000-user limit will definitely be reached soon. As 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀, the Skool Extensions should also support us as much as possible. In the background I am constantly expanding the premium features, but the Skool automations via a workflow builder will hit the next level of this extension. I’m close to finishing my testing and should be able to publish this soon. There will be also guided tours, a full classroom and live calls for these and all the other functions. My foot is still at full throttle 🚀 --- Nr. 1 im Chrome Web Store - 683 Nutzer - Tonnenweise positives Feedback So, seit dem heutigen Update sind die Skool Extensions im Chrome Web Store auf Nummer 1 gerutscht 🥳 (aktuell beste Browser Extension für Skool) Die Extension ist jetzt ca. 2,5 Monate alt und bombastisch eingeschlagen. Ich habe so viel geniales Feedback von euch bekommen. Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle 🙏 Offensichtlich gibt es für uns auf Skool einige Funktionen, die uns unseren Alltag in den vielen Skool Communitys versüßt. Und genau das ist mein oberstes Ziel:

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 — 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 Skool ships one page background, and it is the same for everyone. The Background feature replaces it with something you pick: thirteen ready-made gradients and mesh blends (Aurora, Sunset, Ocean, Midnight, Candy, Mint and more), a two-colour gradient you mix yourself with a free angle, an image you upload, or a photo that changes every single day. Four daily-photo sources are available: Bing Daily, Windows Spotlight, Wikimedia Picture of the Day and NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Each fetches a fresh image once a day, so the page looks different every morning without you touching a setting. Preview thumbnails load for all sources up front — including the ones you have not selected — so you see the actual picture before choosing. The feature unlocks with your level in the Skool Extensions community. Level 3 opens the Background itself along with all gradients, your own colours and your own image. The daily-photo sources follow: Bing and Spotlight at level 4, Wikimedia and NASA at level 5. Locked tiles stay visible with a grey wash and a level badge — click the badge and you land on the community leaderboard, where you can see your standing and what the next level takes. Two sliders control how the page sits on top of the image. Transparent cards sets how much of the background shows through Skool's cards and panels, and Blurred controls how soft the photo behind them gets. Both update live while you drag, and dark mode keeps its own slightly stronger opacity so the balance between the two modes survives a single slider. On photo backgrounds, readability is handled for you: the text colour is chosen by real WCAG contrast against the image rather than a rough brightness guess, and text sitting directly on the background — native header links, the pin strip footer — gets a fine outline so it stays legible over busy areas. Gradients and mesh blends are left alone; they do not need it.
