• About Thinkific

Thinkific schools are designed for online course delivery, not for a clean student-side download workflow. Lesson videos are streamed, schools often use custom domains, and creators can mix native hosting with embedded players, which makes generic downloader tools inconsistent and frustrating to use.

Thinkific Downloader is built for that exact use case. It focuses on supported Thinkific lesson pages, detects the available lesson media in your browser session, and gives you a direct way to save accessible course content as MP4.

• Video detection for Thinkific lesson pages and course areas
• Support for Thinkific-hosted lesson streams
• Embedded lesson support where the platform exposes compatible sources
• Quality selection for available stream resolutions
• MP4 export for easier offline playback and sharing
• In-page controls on supported video pages
• Popup workflow for reviewing detected lesson media
• Progress tracking during active downloads
• Cross-browser support for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, Whale, and Yandex

The extension is not detecting the lesson video
Press play first and wait a few seconds so the stream has time to initialize.

No quality options are showing
Some lesson pages expose a single playable stream variant, especially on certain embedded players.

The page uses a custom domain
That is supported as long as the site is Thinkific-powered and the video source is exposed to the browser session.

The lesson requires login or enrollment access
The extension only works on content you can already access in your active Thinkific session.

The download did not start
Refresh the lesson page, replay the video, and try again once the player is fully loaded.

Thinkific is a course platform used for memberships, online schools, and digital training programs. Because lessons are delivered through browser-based players and custom school setups, there is no simple universal built-in download flow for students. Thinkific Downloader simplifies that process for users who need a local MP4 copy of accessible lesson content.
