How do you add images to a course?

Use an image block to upload your own image, paste a URL, or select from a stock library. Uploaded images are stored by the platform so they load reliably for learners.

Why does my course video not play on mobile?

A course video usually fails on mobile because it isn't encoded for mobile playback. Re-export it in a standard format such as H.264 MP4, which plays on phones and desktops alike, then re-embed it.

How Do You Add Images and Video to an Online Course?

June 22, 2026

The short answer

You add images and video to an online course using dedicated image and video blocks: upload or select an image, and paste a video's URL to embed it. For reliability, host your own media so it can't break — images uploaded to the platform are stored permanently, and videos should be hosted on a stable service and embedded as a direct link encoded for broad device compatibility.

Adding images

Use an image block to upload your own image, paste a URL, or pick from an integrated stock library. Uploaded images are stored by the platform, so they remain available and load reliably for learners.

Adding video

Use a video block and provide the video's link. Courses support common sources, and for self-hosted video you provide a direct link to the file. Host video on a reliable service so the link stays stable rather than expiring.

Make media work everywhere

Encode videos for broad compatibility (standard formats that play on phones as well as desktops), and keep images appropriately sized so they load quickly. Media that fails on mobile costs you the learners most likely to study on a phone.
