Troubleshooting and Common Questions

I clicked the download button–how can I view lessons offline?

Once the lesson download is complete, you will see a trash can icon replace the arrow icon. To access downloaded content, go to the schools page and scroll to the section "Your offline content." From there, select "View Downloaded lessons." You can then select the downloaded lesson you wish to view.

How can I adjust video settings?

Inside the video player, select the gear icon, and choose the setting you want to change. You can adjust the playback speed, captions, and autoplay settings.

Why am I not receiving the one-time password (OTP) login code?

If you're having trouble receiving the OTP code, we're here to assist you. To get started troubleshooting here are a few steps you can take.

  1. Check Your Spam Folder: Sometimes, emails can end up in your Spam folder by mistake. Please take a moment to check your Spam folder to see if the OTP email is there.

  2. Resend the Code: If you haven't received the OTP code after one minute you can request it again. Look for the option to resend the code, and give it another try.

  3. Verify your email address: If you're still not receiving the OTP code, it's possible that there's an issue with your account email. Here's what you can do:

    1. Double-check the email address you used to sign up for the school or Teachable account by signing into those accounts. Make sure there are no typos.
      Note: If you find unexpected typos, please update your email address from a web browser and try the iOS app login flow again.

    2. If you're sure your email is correct and you're still not receiving the code, there may be an issue with our system.

If you still are not receiving the email after going through the above steps, contact us through the Messenger.

What email can I use to log in to the app?

Any email associated with enrollment in a school or product purchase may be used to access the app. Note that the app only displays courses that a user is enrolled in.

How can I log in to another account?

To log in to another account, select your user icon in the top right corner of the app to open the account settings page. Click Sign Out. Then log in with your other account.

Why can't I register?
