# Lessons

## 🎥 Creating a Lesson:

1. Navigate to the module to which you would like to add a lesson.
2. Click on "New Lesson."
3. Provide a title for your lesson.
4. Choose a video source and follow the instructions below:

***

🎬 LectraPlay:

Click on **"Upload video"** and upload your video file.

🎬 Vimeo:

Paste your video ID into the **Vimeo Video ID** input.

To find your Vimeo video ID, go to the video URL and look for the numbers that come after the slash (/).  This number is the Video ID.

🎬 Youtube:

Paste your video ID into the **Youtube Video ID** input.

Your Youtube video ID will be located in the URL of the video page, right after the v= URL parameter.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Unfortunately, YouTube does not provide the capability to prevent users from opening your embedded video on its website. Consequently, users can copy the video URL and share it with others who may not have access to your platform.
{% endhint %}

🎬 Loom:

Paste your video link into the **Loom Video Link** input.

5. Optionally, upload a thumbnail to your lesson. Lesson thumbnails are displayed in both the lesson's navigation menu and the 'Continue Watching' carousel on the home page.

&#x20;       *Note: If you opt to leave the thumbnail field empty, the default course image will be used.*

5. Optionally, add a description to your lesson.
6. Optionally, paste your video script to activate the AI learning assistant (AKA LectraBrain)  into the lesson.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: If you recorded your lesson without a script, you can upload the video to a video-to-text conversion tool such as veed.io to obtain its script.
{% endhint %}

*Learn how to configure your LectraBrain preferences below.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.intellectra.io/manual/content/lessons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
