Can I download a whole Teachable course?

The extension includes a course panel for this: right-click the toolbar icon, choose Open course downloader, click Select all, then Download selected. It saves the lessons you can open, one after another. In our test it saved two selected lessons as complete MP4 files. We have not yet run it on every lesson of a large course, so check the first few files.

Do I need to be signed in or enrolled?

Not for free-preview lessons: we saved one without signing in. For other lessons, sign in to Teachable and enroll first. The extension only saves lessons your account can already watch.

What video quality do I get?

The qualities Teachable's player offers for that lesson. On the courses we tested, the player offered 540p on one and 720p on another. The extension does not create higher quality than the player serves.

Why is a lesson marked locked or skipped?

The lesson is not open to your account yet: you are not enrolled, it is a paid lesson, or the school releases it on a later date. Those lessons are skipped instead of producing a broken file.

Does it work on Teachable schools with their own domain?

It should. On a school that uses its own web address, open the course panel and click Allow on this site, then reload the page. This has not yet been verified on a live custom-domain school.

Can it save PDFs and other lesson files?

The course panel lists files attached to the lesson you have open, such as PDFs, and saves the ones you click. This has not yet been verified on a live course.

Does it save text lessons, quizzes or captions?

No. It saves lesson videos and attached files. Text lessons, quizzes and captions are not saved.

Why won't a generic video downloader work on Teachable?

Teachable's video host refuses requests that do not come from its own player, so a link pasted into a download website usually fails. The extension works inside your open Teachable tab and requests the video the way the player does.

Most Teachable lessons use ordinary streaming that the extension can save. If a creator turns on DRM for a video, the extension tells you and skips it.

Where are my files saved?

In a Teachable folder inside your browser's Downloads folder. A single lesson is named after the lesson title; course-panel files are numbered by section and lesson.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. You get 3 free downloads a week with no credit card. A subscription gives unlimited downloads, with updates included.

Use it only for courses you have access to and content you have permission to save. Do not share or resell downloaded lessons without the creator's permission.

About Teachable Video Downloader

Teachable Video Downloader saves the lesson videos from Teachable courses you can watch, so you can rewatch them offline or keep your own copy.

Open a lesson on a Teachable school and click the extension icon. It finds the video in the Teachable player, shows the quality the player offers, and saves the lesson as an MP4 file named after the lesson. Progress shows in the popup while it saves.

We tested it on a public Teachable course with 24 lessons in 6 sections, without signing in. The extension read the whole lesson list and saved a free-preview lesson. For a course you are enrolled in, sign in to Teachable first; the extension uses your normal session.

There is also a course panel for saving several lessons, or every lesson you can open, in one run. Right-click the toolbar icon and choose Open course downloader. In our test the panel saved two selected free-preview lessons from a public course, one after another, as complete MP4 files that play from start to finish. We have not yet run it on every lesson of a large course.

It works in desktop Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Whale and Yandex. Files go from Teachable straight to your computer and never pass through our servers. Try it free with 3 downloads a week, no credit card needed.

Teachable Video Downloader vs an online downloader website

Teachable lessons play inside a protected player, so pasting a lesson link into a download website usually gets nothing. The extension works inside your own Teachable tab.
