Step-by-Step Instructions

Access Your Product

Log into your Kajabi dashboard and navigate to Products in the main menu. Select the course or coaching product where you want to add video lessons. Click on the product name to enter the product editor.

Make sure your product structure is already set up with modules and lessons before uploading videos.

Navigate to the Target Lesson

In the product editor, locate the module containing your target lesson. Click on the lesson title to open the lesson editor. If you need to create a new lesson, click + Add Lesson within the appropriate module.

Access Video Upload Section

In the lesson editor, you'll see the main content area. Look for the Video section at the top of the lesson content. Click on the Upload Video button or the video placeholder area to begin the upload process.

Kajabi supports MP4, MOV, and AVI formats with recommended resolution of 1080p or higher.

Upload Your Video File

Click Choose File or drag and drop your video file into the upload area. Select your video file from your computer's file browser. Kajabi will begin uploading and processing your video automatically. You'll see a progress bar indicating the upload status.

Keep the browser tab open during upload to ensure the process completes successfully.

Configure Video Settings

Once uploaded, configure your video settings. Add a video title and description if desired. Set video permissions using the Access dropdown (Public, Private, or Password Protected). Choose whether to allow video downloads by checking or unchecking the Allow Download option.

Use descriptive titles and descriptions to help students navigate your content more easily.

Add Lesson Content and Resources

Below the video section, add any additional lesson content using the rich text editor. You can include text, images, downloadable resources, and assessments. Use the + Add Content Block button to insert different content types as needed.

Break up long videos with text summaries or key points to improve student engagement.

Preview and Publish

Click the Preview button to see how your lesson appears to students. Check that the video plays correctly and all content displays properly. When satisfied, click Save to save your changes. The lesson will be immediately available to enrolled students.

Always test your video playback on different devices to ensure optimal student experience.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Video upload fails or gets stuck

Check your internet connection and try uploading again. Ensure your video file is under Kajabi's size limit (typically 5GB). Try compressing your video or using a different browser if issues persist.

Video quality appears poor after upload

Kajabi automatically compresses videos during processing. Upload videos in 1080p resolution or higher with a bitrate of at least 5000 kbps for best results. Allow 10-15 minutes for processing to complete.

Students can't access the video lesson

Verify the lesson's Access Settings are configured correctly. Check that students are properly enrolled in the product and that the lesson isn't scheduled for future release in the Drip Settings.

Video won't play on mobile devices

Ensure you're using MP4 format with H.264 codec for maximum compatibility. Avoid using proprietary formats or codecs that may not be supported across all devices.
