Questions & answers

  • Why use a digital space instead of Slack or Discord?

    Keeping a community active on platforms like Slack or Discord can be challenging, often resulting in silence even in large groups. Digital spaces are different: they create a lively, engaging environment where students can easily connect. They can see when others are online, bump into each other, and join live discussions. This natural interaction fosters a vibrant, productive community where students are more likely to connect, collaborate, and support each other, leading to a healthier and more dynamic learning experience.

  • What are the benefits of Cosmos?

    Cosmos is designed to bring people together for work, study, and learning. It’s a space where you can build supportive communities, allowing members to chat, hang out, study together, attend lectures, and receive 1:1 mentor support—all in one place. With integrated chat, voice, video, and AI-powered tools, Cosmos enhances engagement, motivation, and collaborative learning, leading to better outcomes for everyone.

  • What types of communities run best on Cosmos?

    Cosmos is perfect for educators, mentors, and live-cohort course creators looking to build supportive learning communities where students can connect, stay motivated, and achieve better results. With chat, voice, video, and AI-powered tools, Cosmos offers everything needed to create a social learning experience.

  • What does Cosmos replace? Why use it instead of popular tools?

    Cosmos creates an always-on space for your student community, where they can find peers, collaborate, get support, and hang out—all in one place. Instead of juggling Slack, Discord, Google Meet, or Zoom, Cosmos offers a unified platform that can replace these tools.

    You can switch everything—messaging, calling, and lectures—to Cosmos from the start. Or take a gradual approach and use Cosmos for discussions, office hours and studying together.

    With Cosmos, students gain more opportunities to connect and can talk with each other without calling restrictions.

  • How can I set up a space, personalise it and invite other people?

    Your space can be up and running in less than 10 minutes. Choose a floor plan from the pre-built library, and select between our colourful or minimal design themes. Customise your space further by choosing between picture bubbles or avatars for members.

    For Level 2 & 3 customers, you can schedule a space architect call to design a fully customised space.

    Once your space is ready, adding members is easy. Invite them via email, a CSV list, or by sharing an invite link—anyone who signs up using the link automatically becomes a member of your space. You can also assign roles like admin to help manage your space.

  • Can I invite external guests to join my Cosmos Space? What are the guest limits and experience like?

    Yes, you can easily invite external guests to your Cosmos Space. Guests don’t need to sign up—they can join directly and will experience a familiar video call interface, similar to Google Meet or Zoom. You can invite guests to the space lobby, a specific room, or directly to a meeting using the appropriate link.

    Guests can access public channels, send DMs, and move through any unlocked rooms. They count toward your online user limit and group calling capacity, so if you need more capacity, consider upgrading your plan. Admins can manage guest access, with options to kick or ban them if necessary.

  • How many people are supported in Cosmos spaces and calls?

    Cosmos spaces support up to 50 online users on free plans and up to 250 on paid plans, with custom options for larger needs. Group calls can host up to 150 participants with no duration limits, depending on your plan. For more details, check out our pricing here.

  • How secure is Cosmos? Is my data protected?

    Cosmos is a British company that adheres to GDPR and SOC II type 2. All data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. Payments are processed through Stripe, which is secured by PCI, SOC, and EMVCo. Read more about our security measures in our Security Centre.

  • Does Cosmos have a desktop or mobile app?

    Yes, Cosmos offers both desktop and mobile apps. The desktop app offers features like pop-out experiences for multitasking, while the mobile app ensures you're always in touch, no matter where you are. Both apps are designed to enhance accessibility and engagement within your Cosmos space. Download them from cosmos.video/download

  • How can I run a paid, private community on Cosmos?

    You can easily set up a private community in Cosmos, ensuring that only paid members have access. After creating your space, go to the user-access settings and select "only let invited users" to join. Regularly update the invited users list with those who have paid for the course, and remove any who have dropped off. Cosmos ensures your community remains private by requiring sign-up through invite links, so only authorised members can access the space and its content.

  • How can I run an open-to-all community on Cosmos?

    In your space's user-access settings, select “allow anyone with a link to join“. When you share links to rooms, meetings, or specific users to bring in external guests, they'll not need to sign up, and the links are permanent; they don't expire.

    In open spaces, guests can access public channels, send DMs, join active chats, and enter unlocked rooms. They can also interact with embedded links and use work or game tables. Private channels and locked rooms remain off-limits.

    Adding members grants them moderation abilities, access to private channels, and space personalisation options. Members can create private channels, broadcast to the entire space, and manage guests to uphold community guidelines.

  • What happens as my community grows? How will limits impact my users?

    Cosmos supports your community's growth without restricting the number of members you can add. All members can participate in group chats and DMs without limitations.

    Restrictions apply only to the number of online users in a space. Free plans allow up to 50 online users, while paid plans support up to 250. If you need more than 250 online users at a time, email us at support@cosmos.video, and we can easily expand your space’s capacity.

    Call duration is not limited—calls can run for 24 hours if needed. While your plan limits group call sizes, your space can host multiple group calls simultaneously without any restrictions.

  • Difference between roles? Setup instructions?

    Owners and Admins: Can change the floor plan, add/remove members and channels, personalise the space, and more.
    Members: Can enter the space, call or message anyone, and kick guests.
    Guests: Depending on your space settings, guests can join directly or by knocking. They can access public channels for chats.
