## 🎥 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.
