How do I add a video to an exercise?

2 min read
  1. Go to the exercise
    Open the app and navigate to the exercise you want to add a video to.
    ​

  2. Add a video URL
    Copy the full YouTube URL (for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFDpq1TQKr4) and paste it into the exercise's designated field.
    ​Notes:

    • Always use the full URL; shortened links (such as youtu.be/...) do not work.

    • The video must not be a YouTube Short. Make sure it does not meet the Shorts criteria.

  3. Make sure your video is a regular video
    YouTube Shorts are recognized automatically using certain characteristics. To ensure your video is treated as regular, consider:

    • Duration: Make sure the video is longer than 60 seconds. YouTube Shorts are generally 60 seconds or shorter.

    • Format: Upload in a standard widescreen format (for example 16:9), rather than the vertical orientation often used for Shorts.

    • Title and description: Avoid terms such as "Shorts" in the title or description so YouTube does not classify the video as a Short.

  4. Uploading and privacy settings on YouTube

  5. Add a description
    Enter the desired text in 'description'. The app already supports formatting, so you can format it as desired.

  6. Save and test
    Save the exercise and check that the video and description display correctly.
