00:00:01,530 --> 00:00:06,550
One of the issues my team and I face is supporting students like you on Udemy and other platforms.

2
00:00:06,570 --> 00:00:09,200
I have over a million students on Udemy.

3
00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:11,820
I have hundreds of thousands of students on other platforms.

4
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:15,520
So to try and help solve that problem, we've created a Discord server.

5
00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:17,580
Discord is a free platform that you can join.

6
00:00:17,580 --> 00:00:20,100
We don't get access to your email.

7
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:21,990
We don't get access to your personal data.

8
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:24,990
You would register on discord and then you would join our Discord server.

9
00:00:24,990 --> 00:00:30,300
You can use the link that I've added to the resources in Udemy or the link below, depending on which

10
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:33,090
platform you're watching this video to join the Discord server.

11
00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:38,820
We are consolidating our support on Discord to try and better support you both for this course and for

12
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:39,570
other courses.

13
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:44,760
I'm collaborating with multiple instructors to create multiple courses on Udemy and on other platforms

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,470
becomes once again very difficult for us to support you using different tools on different platforms,

15
00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:51,300
especially as the student numbers grow.

16
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:56,850
We will answer Q&A questions on Udemy, but if you want the quickest support both for this course and

17
00:00:56,850 --> 00:00:59,700
for other questions, please consider joining my Discord server.

18
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:01,200
There are reasons once again for doing this.

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,390
We're finding it very difficult to support students using the Q&A system on Udemy, as well as the Q&A

20
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:07,620
systems on other platforms.

21
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:13,020
It's a lot easier, a lot simpler to consolidate all the support into a single place and hence the use

22
00:01:13,020 --> 00:01:13,720
of discord.

23
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:17,520
What's great about discord is that you can interact with fellow students on this course, but you can

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,560
also ask questions out of the scope of this course.

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,910
I have a team who are managing the Discord server and I really want to thank them for managing that

26
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:24,300
server.

27
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:28,380
But there are also lots of other people who you can interact with and ask questions.

28
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:32,550
Please note that we've had to increase the security options on discord to make sure that we don't get

29
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:34,290
spammers on the Discord server.

30
00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:36,450
So you may have to register with your email address.

31
00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:38,940
You may have to register with your telephone number just to authenticate.

32
00:01:38,940 --> 00:01:41,460
We don't have that information that's stored by discord.

33
00:01:41,490 --> 00:01:43,140
If you don't want to register on discord, that's fine.

34
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:46,080
You can simply use the Q&A system on Udemy.

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,610
I'm hoping that the Discord server helps you both in this course as well as in your career.
