What installing looks like

Three steps, then walk away

  1. 01

    Add it to Chrome

    One click from the Chrome Web Store. No account, no email, no card, no trial timer.

  2. 02

    Open a Skool classroom you belong to

    A download button appears at the top of the course and on each lesson page. Reload any Skool tab you already had open.

  3. 03

    Pick a folder and start

    Choose the destination once. Files are written into numbered module folders while you get on with something else.

Before you install

Check your course is actually covered

Which video source a lesson uses decides what you get. If your course is mostly YouTube embeds, read this first rather than finding out afterwards.

Downloads as video

  • VideoSkool native videoThe Mux player Skool hosts itself
  • VideoLoomEmbedded Loom lessons
  • VideoVimeoEmbedded Vimeo lessons
  • VideoWistiaEmbedded Wistia lessons
  • LinkYouTube lessonsSaved as a link in the manifest. They stay on YouTube, so losing Skool access does not lose them.

Does not bypass

The extension uses the access your own account already has. It does not bypass permissions, paywalls, or DRM.
