The Lesson Video section allows you to insert and upload your videos into the Kourses platform. You can either upload your video for Kourses to host or embed a URL.
To upload your video, click the 'Upload File' link and select the video you would like Kourses to host.
To insert a video URL, click the 'External Video URL' link and paste in the URL link in the area provided. You can use either a Youtube URL or a Vimeo URL.
If you're hosting your own videos using an external video URL, once you have added your video URL and saved the page, you can manually add your video's duration. Adding the video duration will mean Kourses can calculate and show the total course duration to members.

If you are using the Kourses video hosting a video placeholder will automatically be generated by the platform. You can also set your own placeholder image. To Set this up, click the small patterned circular button on the top right of the video.
An overlay screen will appear with the option to automatically set a video thumbnail from the video or insert your own custom image.
