Extension: GetCourse lessons and a Firefox version
The Videoner extension can now download video lessons from GetCourse schools, and it's out for Firefox with one-click install and automatic updates.
Two big updates to the Videoner extension.
GetCourse lessons
The extension now downloads lesson videos from online schools on GetCourse.
- Sign in to your school and open a lesson.
- A "Download" button appears in the top-right corner of the player.
- If the lesson has several videos, click the Videoner icon in the toolbar — it will list them all.
Your browser downloads the lesson itself and assembles it into a regular mp4. The file doesn't pass through our server, so you can download anything you can see while signed in to your school. If the browser download fails, the Videoner server will download the same lesson in the same quality.
Keep in mind: the lesson is assembled in the browser's memory and saved in one go at the end, so a long video in high quality will take some time.
Firefox version
The extension is now available for Mozilla Firefox 128 and later. It does everything the other version does: the "Download" button on the video page, downloading with your sign-in, and GetCourse lessons.
One-click install:
- Open the extension page in Firefox and click the Firefox button.
- Firefox asks whether to allow the installation from videoner.download — click "Continue to Installation".
- In the "Add Videoner?" prompt, click "Add".
The extension is signed by Mozilla, and Firefox installs updates by itself.
The extension page now has two buttons — one for Chrome-like browsers and one for Firefox — with your browser highlighted.
The extension in the bot
The @VideonerBot bot now has an /extension command — it tells you about the extension and gives you an install link.
