The one you record every week

You bring

  • The lesson title from your outline

You get

A short lesson in your voice with the key points on screen. You read every line before it renders.

Start with this one

Write it once. Teach it forever

  1. Title it

    Pick the lesson from your outline. We draft a script in the length your platform expects.

  2. Fix the script

    Change any line, add your examples. Nothing renders until you approve it.

  3. Be the teacher

    Record a consent video just once. Only your account can render videos using your likeness.

  4. Publish

    Download the MP4 and captions, upload them to your platform, and schedule their release with the section.

Your course stays yours

Everything you make stays with you: the script, the lectures, the students. HeyGen only does the recording.

  • What you keep

    Download the MP4 and script before anything is posted. Captions are generated with the video and edited by you.

  • An instructor recording in a home office, with lesson-01.mp4, the script and captions ready to download

  • Any platform, any language

    Upload to any course platform or LMS, no plugin required. The same lecture in another language, without a re-shoot.

  • Your face, your name

    Your likeness renders only from your account. Students see your name and your face, not a stock presenter.

  • Where your files live

    Hosted on AWS in the United States. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA. TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest.

Questions from the recording week

  • Will students know it is an avatar?

    Tell them. A line in the course description or the intro lecture is enough, and the script and examples are still yours. School of AI publishes its avatar lessons openly; Coursera uses HeyGen to translate its instructors’ lectures.

  • Does it work with Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Udemy, or my LMS?

    Yes. You download a standard MP4 and upload it like any recorded lecture. Nothing on the platform side changes.

  • Who can render videos with my likeness?

    Only your account. Your avatar starts with a consent video you record yourself, and HeyGen removes an avatar on request.

  • Do I see the script before the video exists?

    Yes. Nothing renders until you approve the script, and you can download the script with the MP4.

  • What happens when the material changes?

    Edit the lines that have changed and render again. No studio session or matching the original lighting needed.

  • What does it cost?

    You can sign up and draft for free. Plans and limits are on the pricing page.
