Hosting a Course With Squarespace: Beginners Guide!

[@barbarakvelstein]

Thank you! Just starting my online courses on Squarespace and this helped me a lot.

Hello! Thanks for this video... is there any way for the clients to download the videos that are shown on the courses?

[@BigCatCreative]

You could probably create a seperate download button and link away to an external link to download. Or you can upload them as a file in Squarespace to download directly, but they might be too large. support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205813928-Uploading-and-managing-files

@@BigCatCreative yeah. I thought of the external link, however.... once the link has been "bought" there is nothing stopping that customer from sharing that link. I dunno what to do. I've researched Vimeo and others but it all seems super clunky.

Why do you want them to be able to download the videos? I haven’t tested but if you are uploading natively to squarespace there is likely a way for people to download them directly (I recommend asking Sqsp) The reality with online courses is that no matter what, things can be shared. There’s nothing from stopping the customers sharing links, sharing logins, sharing downloads. In my experience, paying customers don’t really do this!
