Watch Videos
Video lessons are the core of most BrightLearn courses. This guide shows how to open and watch them.
Before you begin
- Log in to BrightLearn.
- Be enrolled in a course with Active status.
- Use a stable internet connection.
Step 1 — Open your course
- Click My Courses.
- Click the course you want to study.
- The lesson list appears on the left or main area.
Step 2 — Select a video lesson
- Find a lesson marked as Video or with a play icon.
- Click the lesson title.
- The video player loads on the page.
Step 3 — Play the video
- Click the Play button in the center of the video.
- Use the progress bar to pause or skip forward.
- Adjust volume with the speaker icon.

Watch in fullscreen on a laptop for the best experience. On mobile, rotate your phone to landscape mode.
Step 4 — Complete the lesson
- Watch until the end (some courses require this).
- Click Mark complete or Next lesson if shown.
- Your progress updates automatically.
Step 5 — Finish the module before moving on
BrightLearn organizes courses into modules. Before you can open the next module, you must:
- Attend class well — watch every video lesson in the current module from start to finish.
- Complete all lessons in that module.
- Pass the module quiz — see Quizzes.
You cannot skip ahead to the next module until you pass the quiz for your current module.
If your course includes live classes, attend them regularly. Watching the recorded lessons and staying up to date helps you pass each module quiz.

See Video not playing for detailed fixes.
Video stops or buffers often.
