Step 1: Access Your Kajabi Account
Logging In
First things first, to download a video from Kajabi, you gotta log in to your Kajabi account. It’s simple, really. Just head over to the Kajabi website and enter your credentials. For me, this is usually the first hurdle. But once you’re in, the world of online learning awaits!
If you’ve forgotten your password or are having trouble logging in, don’t fret! There’s a ‘Forgot Password’ option that can help you out. Just follow the prompts, and you’ll be back in action in no time.
Once you’re logged in, take a moment to get familiar with the dashboard. It might look overwhelming at first, but trust me, it’s pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it.
Navigating the Dashboard
Now that you’re logged in, it’s time to find your video. Kajabi has a sleek layout. Look for the ‘Products’ tab on the left side, and click it. This will show you all the courses and products you’ve created or accessed.
Depending on how many courses you’ve enrolled in, this could take a hot minute. But once you’ve found the right product, click on it, and you’ll be able to see all the content housed within.
It’s like a treasure hunt, only the treasure is your educational video! Keep your eyes peeled, and you’ll spot it before you know it.
Selecting Your Course
After getting to the right section, the next step is to click on the specific course that has the video you want to download. This part is crucial. You might have multiple options, so make sure you select the correct one!
Taking a moment to read the course titles can help you avoid unnecessary detours. Once clicked, the course will reveal all tracking lessons, videos, and additional resources that come with it.
Don’t worry if you still don’t see your desired video immediately; we’re getting closer!
Step 2: Locate the Video Within the Course
Finding the Video Section
Once you’re inside the course, keep your eyes on the list of lessons. You’ll want to scroll through and find the one that looks like it has the content you’re after. Kajabi organizes content by modules and lessons, which is super helpful.
Taking note of titles and lesson lengths can speed things up. I like to hover over each lesson title as it often reveals a brief description of what’s inside. This can save you from clicking into lessons that don’t contain the video you need.
Once you identify the lesson with the video, it’s time to dive in!
Clicking on the Video
Okay, you’re almost there. Hit that lesson title to enter, and you’ll see the video player pop up! This is the point where excitement should kick in. After all, this is the content you want to download!
Make sure to give the video a watch or at least preview it quickly to guarantee it’s indeed the right one. Sometimes, there are multiple videos under each lesson, so double-check you’re in the right spot.
By now, you should be ready to prepare for the downloading process. Remember, patience is key—you’ve come this far!
Video Playback Options
A lot of people don’t realize that sometimes, Kajabi allows you to adjust playback settings. This can be helpful if you’re almost ready to download and need to check a few final things.
You can pause, rewind, or fast-forward the video to make absolutely sure you’ve selected the right file. I’ve spent countless minutes just making sure I tagged the right video before hitting the download button!
Keep in mind if you encounter any issues playing the video, refreshing the page can often help clear up glitches.
Step 3: Downloading the Video
Finding the Download Button
Now for the big moment—the download! Look closely around the video player for a download button. It might be small but it’s there. If you’re lucky, it’ll be visually distinct.
Sometimes, it’s easy to miss because it’s hidden in the settings or “More Options” menu right on the video player. Just look for three dots or a gear icon. Click around a bit, and you should find it!
If the download button is not visible, don’t give up. Some videos might have restrictions based on the instructor’s settings. Remember, they’ve put time and effort into creating this content.
Starting the Download
Once you’ve located that elusive download button, go ahead and click it! A prompt may appear asking where you’d like to save your video. Choose your preferred location. I usually create a specific folder for my downloaded videos to keep things organized.
After selecting a location, the video should begin downloading. Depending on your internet speed, this may take a few moments. In the meantime, do a bit of a happy dance because you’ve almost got that content saved!
And be patient—it’s better to download a high-quality file than rush and end up with something that doesn’t meet your needs.
Confirming the Download
Once the download finishes, it’s time for a quick inspection. Navigate to the folder where you saved the file and make sure it’s there. You want to confirm that the entire download process was successful.
Open the video file to ensure it plays correctly—this step can save you future headaches. You wouldn’t want to waste hours realizing you saved the wrong file later on.
Now that you’ve got the video safely stored, you can watch it whenever you want, be it during your commute, on a cozy couch, or while sipping coffee on your balcony.
Step 4: Storing the Video for Easy Access
Organizing Your Files
Okay, so you’ve downloaded the video. Awesome! Now let’s keep this organization game strong. I usually recommend setting up folders on your computer that reflect the important topics or courses. Something like “Kajabi Videos” or even by subject matter works great.
This makes finding specific videos much easier later on. Plus, knowing where you put things prevents those “uh-oh” moments when you can’t find that one video you really wanted to rewatch.
Also, consider a backup option like Google Drive or Dropbox to store those files safely in the cloud. You never know when you might need a quick access from another device!
Renaming Your Files
An extra tip that I find handy is renaming your video files for clarity. Sometimes, downloaded files have generic names that won’t jog your memory. I suggest naming them based on the title or key topics covered in the video.
This will help you remember what each video is about without needing to rewatch it or play a guessing game. It’s a small but mighty time-saver when you’re on a tight schedule.
Also, be sure to double-check that your file extensions are correct. You want to make sure they’re compatible with your video player of choice.
Creating a Shortcut
To make things even more convenient, I love creating shortcuts on my desktop or pinning frequently accessed folders. This way, I’m just a couple of clicks away from starting a video session!
Just right-click on your folder and select “Create Shortcut.” You can place the shortcut wherever is easiest for you to access it. Trust me, taking these small extra steps upfront can save you time in the long run.
And you’ll give your workflow a big boost. You’ll be ready to dive right back into learning without wasting a single minute!
Step 5: Enjoying Your Downloaded Video
Selecting the Right Video Player
Hey, it’s time to kick back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. To make sure your video plays smoothly, you’ll want to select a reliable video player. If you’re on Windows, the built-in Windows Media Player or VLC is a good choice.
For Mac users, QuickTime is quite decent, too. VLC is universal and supports almost all video formats, so that’s usually my go-to.
Make sure whatever player you choose can handle the file you’ve downloaded. Your video’s playback experience hinges on this!
Creating a Viewing Environment
You’ve downloaded the video, picked your player—now it’s about creating the perfect viewing experience. Whether you’re cozy on your couch, set up at your desk, or even while chilling on your bed, make sure your surroundings are conducive to focus.
Grab a snack, put on some comfy clothes, or adjust the lighting to suit your vibe. You’re gonna want to be attentive—not just going through the motions. This is why you did the work to download the video in the first place!
Take some notes as you watch if applicable; jot down any thoughts or questions that pop into your head. Trust me, it’ll amp up your learning game!
Turning Off Distractions
Last but not least, let’s chat about distractions. Before you hit play, it’s wise to put your phone on silent and close any tabs that don’t relate to what you’re about to view. You really want to soak in the content, right?
There’s nothing worse than getting pulled away mid-video because of notifications or social media temptations. Set aside this time for yourself—you deserve to focus!
Think of it like a mini-retreat for your brain to absorb all that awesome info you decided to download!
