This article outlines the video standards when recording and exporting your course on Udemy.
What are Udemy’s minimum standards around video quality?
In order to publish your course, you must have at least 30 minutes of video content in your course. In order to ensure the best viewing experience across a range of device types, Udemy requires that video content is:
- High Definition (HD) quality, with a resolution of at least 720p
- Oriented horizontally, with an aspect ratio of 16:9
- Clearly relevant to the audio instruction, with dynamic and custom presentation visuals
What video issues are considered low-quality
Some of the most common video issues that have the greatest impact on the learner experience include:
- Audio-only content with no visuals at all
- Video content which is limited to a static image or presentation slide
- Visuals are blurry, indistinct, or otherwise difficult to recognize or understand
At this time Udemy does not feature audio-only experiences
