Add video to a lesson

Add video from YouTube, Vimeo, or Loom, or upload a video file directly to a lesson.

​

Add a video

1. Open Courses and select a course.
2. Open the lesson you want to edit.
3. Type / and choose Video.
4. Choose one option:
   • Paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or Loom link. Loom’s Copy link URL works as is.
   • Upload an MP4, WebM, or Ogg video file.
5. Wait for the upload to finish, then save the lesson.

Uploaded videos can be up to 1 GB. Keep the editor open while the progress indicator is visible. If an upload is interrupted, use the retry option; only the failed parts are re-sent.

​

Replace or remove a video

Select the video block to open its settings. Under Replace video, paste a new link or upload a new file, or remove the block from the lesson. Save the lesson after the change.

​

Make it available to students

A saved lesson can still be a draft. Publish the lesson when it is ready, and confirm that its course is also published. Lessons that contain a video show a video icon in the course outline and the lesson sidebar, so students can spot them.

​

Troubleshooting

• The file is rejected: Use MP4, WebM, or Ogg and keep it at or below 1 GB.
• The upload stops: Check your connection, keep the tab open, and retry.
• Students cannot play it: Confirm the lesson and course are published, then check the student’s course access.
• A pasted link does not load: Use the public YouTube, Vimeo, or Loom video URL rather than an editing or studio URL.
