Hi guys,

I published my first course and i see that 7 of 12 of my videos are free in a preview videos before to buy the course. Is it normal? Can i switch this? I believe that 7 of 12 is too many.

Thanks,

    Congratulations

    Go to your course curriculum, then go to the lectures that you need to stop showing them as free. There is a switch button to make it free. Change that.

    THE rule is to have an average of 15 Minute of video on free preview.

    Congratulations on your first course Adri

    This is the majority of your course. I usually have 1 or 2 videos free amounting to no more than 10 to 15 min. As Salhiary said, there is a switch button which gives you the option.

    Hi @Adri_Broker1 Thanks for bringing up this question. You can easily update the information by following these steps :

    1. Navigate to the course Curriculum page.
    2. Click the arrow to the right of the published lecture to review the lecture details.
    3. Toggle Free Preview to off.

    I hope this helps!

    I think they are too many (more than half) as previews. You can switch off them by going into your course.
    OR
    If the total time duration of those 7 lectures are about 10-15 minutes and they give the user/student an idea of what can be expected out of the rest 5 lectures that amounts to a duration of more than 2 hours, then you can have those 7 lectures as previews.
    Only thing that you need to keep in mind is that these 7 preview lectures are giving an overall idea on different topic/subject and not the repeated content.
    If you feel that these 7 lectures are of importance, then reduce them to 2-3.
    It's not about the number, it's about how the course content is arranged.
