In this article, we'll show you how to control download options for audio/video lessons.
Enabling or disabling downloads for audio/video lessons
By default, the download option for audio/video lessons will be turned off. Here's how to enable download links for audio/video lessons in online courses.
In the sidebar menu, click on Products.
Click on Edit next to the product you'd like to edit download options for.
Click on the audio/video lesson name for which you'd like to enable downloads.
If you don't have any lessons yet, simply upload a video/audio file to your online course first.
Scroll down and find the File download option under Options.
Click on the checkbox to display a download link below your audio/video lessons.
Note: Video download links may take a few minutes before they work. Learn more
Save your changes.

FAQ
My video download links are not appearing... HELP!
My video download links are not appearing... HELP!
When you enable download links for video lessons on Podia for the first time, it may take a few minutes for the download link to generate, depending on the size and length of your videos.
This means the link might not appear immediately after you enable the download option for customers but it should show up after a few minutes.
The download link only needs to be generated once, so if you disable and re-enable downloads later, the link for the same lesson will appear right away.
