Can I download videos from Udemy?

You can download lecture videos from Udemy as long as the course instructor has made them available as supplementary materials. Note, however, that some instructors may not necessarily make them available in video format. You may have to settle for PDF documents, presentation slides, or audio files.

Also note that some course instructors may not allow downloading of videos or supplementary course materials at all. However, if you wish, you can contact them and request that they change their policy, or at least make an exception (though we can’t promise anything).
