A course promo video is a video you make to promote your upcoming course. The purpose is to generate excitement for your course and give potential students an idea of what they’ll get if they sign up or purchase the course. In Tella’s screen recorder, you can record both your screen and webcam and change the layout, so your course promo video is clear, professional, and effective at building your audience.
How to make a course promo video
Record
Log in or sign up to Tella. Open the Tella app in your browser and click “Start video.” You’ll open the screen recorder and click “Start recording” to go through your course materials and the syllabus. Don’t worry about getting it perfect on the first try. If you need to, you can pause the recording and make another.
Customise
When you have all your recordings completed, transition to use Tella’s editor. You can cut and trim clips, re-record if you need to, and adjust the background or layout. With Tella’s editor, it’s easy to make polished videos.
Share or Download
When your course promo video is complete, click “Finish.” You’ll go to the sharing window, where you can watch your final video. To share it, Tella enables you to generate a link, export it, generate a code to embed it on your site, and more.

A promo video is a key part of marketing your online course. Without video, it can be harder for your potential students to connect with you and understand what they’ll get out of the course. Making a course promo video is a way to convince your audience why they should sign up to learn from you.
For your course promo video to remain engaging and attract students, try to keep the video between 2-3 minutes. You don’t need to go into too much detail on every part of your course. Just give a high-level overview of what you cover and emphasise the outcomes for students.
