Why LearnWorlds Downloader

LearnWorlds delivers course content through an embedded video player within each school's branded environment. Videos are streamed through adaptive delivery and cannot be saved with a simple right-click. The platform offers no built-in option for students or course creators to download lesson videos as local files for offline viewing, personal archiving, or use on devices without a stable internet connection.

LearnWorlds Downloader is being designed to operate inside the browser alongside the LearnWorlds player. The goal is to detect the active video stream in a course lesson, let you choose the resolution and quality level, and produce a standard MP4 file that you can store on your hard drive, transfer to a tablet, or watch offline whenever you need it.

Planned Features

• Video capture from LearnWorlds course pages during active playback
• Lesson-level downloading with support for multi-section courses
• Resolution and quality selection based on what the platform delivers to the browser
• MP4 output compatible with virtually all media players and mobile devices
• Filename generation using course and lesson titles for organized local libraries
• Download queue for saving multiple lessons in sequence without manual intervention
• Browser-native workflow requiring no external desktop applications or plugins
• Cross-browser support targeting Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox

How It Will Work

1. Install the extension once it is released from the Chrome Web Store or your browser's add-on marketplace.
2. Log in to your LearnWorlds school and navigate to an enrolled course.
3. Open the lesson containing the video you want to save.
4. Begin playback so the browser loads the video stream from the platform.
5. Open the extension popup to see the detected video source and available quality levels.
6. Select the lesson video you want to export.
7. Choose your preferred resolution if multiple options are available.
8. Start the download and the MP4 file will be saved to your local machine.

Expected Formats

• Input: LearnWorlds embedded video streams (HLS / adaptive bitrate segments served through the course player)
• Output: MP4 video files with audio included

Exported files will be saved as MP4, the most widely supported video container format, playable on desktop media players, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and video editing software without conversion.

Who It's For

• Online learners who want offline access to courses they have purchased or enrolled in
• Course creators who need local backups of their own uploaded lesson content
• Corporate training teams archiving internal LearnWorlds academies for compliance records
• Students in areas with unreliable internet who prefer to download lessons before studying
• Educators reviewing their own published material outside the LearnWorlds platform

Use Cases We're Building For

• Save an entire course module for offline study during travel or commuting
• Archive lesson videos from a purchased course before a subscription period ends
• Back up your own course content as a creator for local storage and repurposing
• Download training videos for review on a device that cannot access the LearnWorlds school
• Build a personal library of professional development content on your local drive

Security & Scope

• Operates only on the page the user intentionally opens in the active browser tab
• Detects supported playback sources only for user-initiated downloads or exports
• Does not execute page instructions, shell commands, or arbitrary scripts from page content
• Does not follow unrelated links or perform actions outside the active workflow
• Limits support to the named platform, approved embedded contexts, and user-authorized sessions when required

FAQ

When will LearnWorlds Downloader be released? A release date has not been set. Sign up at the waitlist link above to be notified as soon as it is available.

Will it work with any LearnWorlds school? The extension is being built to work with the standard LearnWorlds video player used across all schools on the platform. Custom player integrations or heavily modified themes may require additional testing.

What video quality will it support? Quality will depend on what the LearnWorlds platform delivers to the browser during playback, which can vary based on the original upload resolution and the school's configuration.

Will it capture interactive elements inside LearnWorlds videos? The initial release will focus on the core video and audio stream. Interactive overlays, quizzes embedded within videos, and SCORM-triggered elements are separate platform features and may not be included in the exported file.

Is it free? Pricing details will be announced closer to launch. SERP extensions typically include a free trial period.

Can I download all lessons in a course at once? Batch downloading across multiple lessons is a planned feature, though the exact workflow will depend on browser constraints and how the platform loads video content per lesson page.

About LearnWorlds

LearnWorlds is a cloud-based platform for creating, marketing, and selling online courses. It provides course builders with interactive video tools, SCORM-compliant content packaging, built-in assessments, certificates, and full white-label branding so schools can operate under their own domain and identity. The platform streams lesson videos through an embedded player but does not offer a native file export or local download feature. LearnWorlds Downloader is being built to fill that gap for students and creators who want MP4 copies of course videos they already have access to through their enrollment.
