Finding and Viewing Courses With Subtitles
Read articleIf you’re looking for courses that feature subtitles, this article outlines how you can locate subtitles, the different subtitle types, and how you can activate subtitles while taking your course. Most course subtitles are available in the course's spoken language, but some courses also offer subtitles in multiple languages.
Languages available for subtitles
To support our global learners, we’ve made investments in both our product and content collection, by adding localized subtitles to many Udemy Business courses. Udemy Business offers auto-generated subtitles in Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Vietnamese for non-language learning courses that are instructed in English.
How are the auto-generated subtitles created?
The auto-generated subtitles are created using speech recognition technology. If a course has received auto-generated subtitles, then “auto-generated” and the language of the subtitles will appear beside the closed captions icon. If the instructor has uploaded subtitles to their course, this will also be indicated on the course landing page, along with the language of the subtitles.
Please note: proprietary courses that are created by organizations within the Udemy Business platform will not receive auto-generated subtitles. Organizations are free, however, to add subtitles in any language to their proprietary courses.
Searching for courses with subtitles
To find courses that have subtitles, please follow the steps below.
- Enter a course topic in the Search for Courses tool at the top of your organization’s Udemy Business account
- Click the Filter icon and then select the applicable Subtitles to filter the search results (please note: in order for the subtitles filter to appear, some of the courses in the initial search results must include subtitles)
- Courses with subtitles available will appear
Requesting subtitles for a course
As noted above, Udemy Business will provide English, auto-generated subtitles for all English courses (your proprietary courses that are created within the Udemy Business platform will not receive auto-generated subtitles). If an English course you’re viewing doesn’t have any subtitles, and you would like English subtitles included in the course, please contact Udemy Business Support to check on the status of the auto-generated subtitles.
If you are deaf or hard of hearing, and require subtitles to take the course, please contact Udemy Business Support. We will do our best to accommodate you.
Turning subtitles on or off
If subtitles are available for a lecture, a closed captions icon will appear at the bottom right of the course player. Move your cursor to the icon and select the language of the subtitles you would like to see. To turn subtitles off, select the Off option.
You can also adjust the font size of the subtitles, and the background opacity for them, by clicking on Caption Settings. Then click on Font Size or Background Opacity to make the adjustments you wish to see. The option to have the subtitles appear under the course video can also be accessed in the caption settings.
We're always working to improve the quality of subtitles on Udemy. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the subtitles, please contact Udemy Business Support.

How do I Archive or Unenroll From a Course?
Read articleYou can remove a course from your My learning page by moving it to the Archive section, or, if you're not interested in completing the course, you can unenroll from it. The steps below will show you how.
Archiving a Course
Archiving a course removes it from the My learning page, but you will still be able to access the class in the archived section. In other words, you will not be unenrolled from a course if you archive it.
Archive from the course player.
- Click on the ellipses at the top right-hand of the course player
- Click Archive this course
The archived course will appear under the Archived section of My learning.
Archive from My Learning
You can also quickly archive courses from the My learning page.
- Click on the vertical ellipses on the course card
- Click Archive
The archived course will appear under the Archived section of My learning.
If you decide to unarchive a course and want to return it to My learning, you can access the unarchive option, by following the same steps outlined above.
Note: Archiving a course will not automatically unsubscribe you from instructor emails about the course. If you'd like to opt-out of these emails, please manually adjust your course email settings.
Unenroll From a Course
If you do not want to complete a course, and are certain you will not need to access the course moving forward, you can unenroll from it. If you unenroll from a course, you will no longer receive any email notifications for it.
Please note: unenrolling from a course will delete your record of any minutes consumed in that course, and your account admins will not be able to view this data. As a result, we strongly suggest archiving courses instead.
To unenroll from a course:
- Click on the ellipses at the top right-hand of the course player
- Click Unenroll from course

Leaving and Editing a Course Review
Read articleRating your experience in a course is an easy way to give instructors feedback on how to improve and to help other users select the right course. You can leave a review at any time after starting the course. After leaving a review, you will always have the ability to edit or delete it.
How to Leave a Review
There are three places you can go to leave a review:
- From the course cards on your My learning page.
- In the course player by clicking on Leave a rating.
- With the in-course prompt: while viewing the course you will be prompted to leave a review three times (beginning, middle, and end). If you do not wish to leave a review when you’re prompted, you can click on Ask Me Later.
What to Include in Your Review
Whether you decide to leave a review after you’ve been prompted, or you initiate the review yourself, the process is the same.
- After clicking on Leave a rating, select how many stars you wish to leave in the rating (half-stars are supported for ratings above 1 star).
- Leave a detailed review explaining your experiences
- Provide additional feedback by answering the questions regarding the course’s attributes
- Click Publish
Edit or Delete a Review
You can change your course review at any time from the course player.
- Click the ellipses at the top right-hand corner of the page.
- Next, click Edit your rating.
- Make the desired changes.
- Click Save and Exit to finalize your edits.
Your review will be visible to users who are unenrolled in the course. If you would like to see your review, as it appears to new users, log out of your account and search for the course in the marketplace.
Tips for Writing a Good Review
Here are a few things you should keep in mind when writing a review for a course:
Tell us why. In addition to leaving a star rating, please share your thoughts. Your opinion about the course is valuable to other learners, but when only a star rating is left, it’s difficult for other users to understand why you left the rating that you did.
Be specific. Specificity helps other learners determine if the course is right for them. Are there any areas of improvement? Did the course meet your expectations? What are your favorite parts of the course so far?
And Be Honest! Reviews are one of the most important features that people consider before enrolling in a course. However, reviews are only valuable if you’re honest about how you feel about the course. As long as you share your sentiment in a respectful manner, your feedback is valuable and helpful to our learning marketplace.
