Video download is taking too long

Begin by testing your internet connection speed to see if this could be why the videos are taking too long to download. 

If the internet speed is low (less than 5 Mbps), we recommend downloading the courses at a time when your internet connection is stronger. You can also do the following:

• Lower the video download quality of the lecture so the file size for the download is smaller.
• If you are downloading an entire course or long course sections, try downloading individual lectures instead.
• Keep the app open and in the foreground so the downloading finishes more quickly.
• Restart your modem/router to see if your internet connection improves.

If your internet connection is strong but the download speed is slow,  please try the following steps:

• Cancel all downloads in progress and then restart the app to download the content again. Learn how to cancel downloads in the applicable Help Center article below.
  • iOS
  • Android
• Make sure your phone has enough storage to download each course.
• Check to see if you have enabled download over WiFi only.
• Restart your mobile device and check your device settings.
• Delete the Udemy Business app from the home screen and then reinstall it on your device. 
  • Please note: Any offline content you’ve saved from your courses will be removed after the app reinstallation, and you will need to re-download the content.
