Use a YouTube or Vimeo video as your lesson video

Paste a link and it becomes the video students watch first, with its title and thumbnail shown so you know it's the right one. To put a player inside the lesson text, type /video or paste the link on a line of its own.

What’s changed

Before, a lesson video had to be uploaded, and the lesson text couldn't hold a player. Now a YouTube or Vimeo link can be the lesson video, and you can put players anywhere in the text.

How it works

1. Open a lesson and go to the Watch section at the top.
2. Click Paste a link and paste your YouTube or Vimeo address.
3. Check the title and thumbnail that appear, then click Add.
4. For a player in the text, type /video in Read and choose Video.

Good to know

• The video stays on YouTube or Vimeo, so your privacy settings there still apply. Unlisted Vimeo links work.
• A link plays ahead of a video you uploaded. If you've chosen to show a video Knola made, that one plays first.
• YouTube videos play in YouTube's privacy-enhanced player.
• Knola doesn't make a transcript of a linked video, so the AI tutor can't learn from it.
