Add YouTube lectures to your courses

Many teachers already have hours of good lectures on YouTube. Until now, students had to jump between YouTube and MegaExams - watch a video in one tab, come back to take the test in another. From today, you can put both in one place.

What's new

• •Paste any YouTube link into a course - regular videos, Shorts, live streams, or youtu.be share links all work.
• •Lectures and exams sit in one ordered list, so a course can read: Lecture for Chapter 1, then the Chapter 1 test, then Chapter 2, and so on.
• •Students watch without leaving MegaExams. The video loads only when they press Watch, so course pages stay fast.
• •Your exam unlock rules are untouched - sequential, score-based, manual, and scheduled unlocking all work exactly as before. Lectures themselves are always open.

How to add lectures to a course

1. 1 Open Courses in your admin panel, pick a course (or create one), and click Edit.
2. 2 Under Course content, find "Add a YouTube lecture". Give the lecture a title, paste the YouTube link, and click Add. You'll see the video thumbnail appear immediately - if the link isn't a valid YouTube video, we tell you on the spot.
3. 3 Use the arrows to reorder. Place each lecture right before the exam it prepares students for - the numbering updates as you go.
4. 4 Click Save changes. That's it - the course page updates for every enrolled student instantly.

Good to know

• •Privacy-friendly. Videos play through YouTube's no-cookie player, so no tracking cookies are set until a student actually presses play.
• •Edit any time. Change a lecture's title or link from the same editor - the thumbnail refreshes to confirm the new video.
• •Share with one link. Your course's short URL (shown on the course page) takes students straight to the full series - lectures, tests, and all.

This feature came directly from a teacher who runs a medical-entrance prep channel on YouTube and wanted his tests and lectures in one flow for his students. If a feature would make your teaching easier, tell us - requests like this one usually ship fast.
