Introduction Video's Allowed? & How do people make subtitles? Manually or?

Hi Udemy Community,

I'm in the process of publishing my first course. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be but finally get there and about 75% through now.

I have two questions:

1. Is self promotions video's allowed e.g. adveristing my website and my brand (10 seconds - like what you would find on youtube).

2. Subtitles, how do people get subtitles, do they manually do it? or does a program automatically read it?

Subtitles are automatically generated for you by Udemy, but you can either edit them or upload your own.

Promotional stuff gets tricky. You can freely promote anything in the promotional announcements, you have like 3 per month and you have bonus lectures where you can do promotions, other than that the course or the promo is not a place for promotions. You can refer students to external sources and websites only if they are educational

Thanks Michael...i'll assume that its a no.. then? I just have a small intro of Andrew Pham Coaching and www.apct.com.au which last 7 seconds, its mostly just for branding... but by what you say that might be not acceptable?

You can tell about yourself and what you do, but you can't be like "hey go check my website and buy my products"

Thanks Michael! In that case i think my intro is ok.. it just flashes my name and my website thats it!
