- About Teachable
Teachable is one of the most widely used platforms for creating and selling online courses. Instructors host video lessons behind a login wall, and students stream them through the Teachable player. There is no built-in option to download course videos as files, which means learners are tied to an internet connection and the platform's player every time they want to review material.
This creates friction for students who travel, work in areas with unreliable connectivity, or simply prefer to organize their purchased course content on their own hard drive. Screen recording tools are a common workaround, but they produce lower-quality output, require real-time capture, and add unnecessary steps to what should be a simple save operation.
Teachable Video Downloader is being designed to sit inside the browser and intercept the video stream that the Teachable player already loads. Instead of re-encoding a screen capture, the extension aims to grab the actual video data the player receives and write it to a local MP4 file. The result is a file that matches the original stream quality without the overhead of recording your screen for the full duration of every lecture.

When will Teachable Video Downloader be released? A release date has not been set. Sign up at the waitlist link above to be notified as soon as it is available.
Does it work with any Teachable school? The extension is being built to work with the standard Teachable video player used across schools on the platform. Custom player implementations may require additional support after launch.
What video quality will it support? Quality will depend on what the Teachable player delivers to the browser, which is determined by the course creator's upload settings and the platform's encoding pipeline.
Will it preserve lesson titles in the filename? The plan is to include the course name, section title, and lesson number in the exported filename where that data is available from the page.
Is it free? Pricing details will be announced closer to launch. SERP extensions typically include a free trial period.
Can I download all lessons in a course at once? Batch downloading at the module level is a planned feature. Full-course export will depend on browser and playback constraints and may be introduced after the initial release.
Does it work with the Teachable mobile app? No. This extension is built for the Teachable web experience in desktop browsers, not the mobile application.

Teachable is an online course creation platform that enables instructors and creators to build, host, and sell video-based courses to students around the world. Courses are delivered through a web-based player that streams video lessons behind a login, but the platform does not offer a native download-to-file option for enrolled students. Teachable Video Downloader is being built to bridge that gap for learners who want local MP4 copies of course videos they have already purchased or enrolled in.
