You can easily download uploaded video files from Kajabi courses, but you need a workaround to download embedded videos. Luckily, I’ve found a quick and easy way to do it.
Key Takeaways:
- You can download embedded videos using a Chrome extension
- You must get the course creator’s permission before downloading embedded videos
- Course creators can download their videos from inside their Kajabi accounts
Why Would I Need to Download Videos from Kajabi?
I’m always on the go, whether that’s taking the train somewhere new or hiking in the mountains. I also like taking online courses (gotta keep that brain working!), but there’s one thing that gets in the way—my Wi-Fi or phone signal cutting out often.
Now, Kajabi does have a mobile app that allows you to work on your courses offline, but I don’t always find it useful or productive to learn on my phone. The screen is too small, and I just prefer working on my laptop.
Therefore, I like to download course content to my laptop so I can access it whenever I want—Wi-Fi signal or not.
Which Videos Can Students Download from Kajabi Courses?
There are two types of video content in Kajabi-created courses:
- Downloadable video files
- Embedded videos
Within a course lesson, locate the “Downloads” section to find any videos available for direct download. Simply click on the video title, and the download will automatically start.
You may find these videos along with other downloadable content such as PDFs, workbooks, and slides.
Embedded videos are the ones displayed as part of the lesson content. You can play, pause, and skip the videos as much as you want, but there’s no option to download them.
Downloading these videos is a little more complicated since the course creator doesn’t necessarily want you to do so.
There is a workaround, which I will share in a moment, but remember: These videos are the course creator’s intellectual property. Therefore, you MUST contact the course creator and get their permission first.
How to Download Embedded Videos from Kajabi Courses (Step-By-Step)
Once the course creator has given you the go-ahead to download the embedded videos, here’s what you do.
Step 1: You’re going to need a browser extension, so head over to the Chrome web store to find one and add it to your browser.
Step 2: Open the lesson page containing the video you want to download. Then, open the Chrome extension, and the video title should display within the extension window.
If you don’t see the video title, try refreshing the page—this usually solves the issue.
Step 3: Find the download button next to the video title and click it. The video will download to your device, and you can watch it whenever you want.
Can Course Creators Download Videos Too?
You bet you can! You can download any video you upload to your Kajabi courses with a click of the mouse.
To do this, open up the lesson that contains the video. Underneath the video, you will see a dropdown called “Video actions.” Click this and select “Download video.”
That’s it—super easy!
