Now that you understand what’s possible with HeyGen, this lesson will help you get set up and oriented within the platform.
The HeyGen dashboard
When you first log in to HeyGen, you’ll arrive on your dashboard. This is the central place where all your projects are stored and where you’ll return to manage, edit, and share your videos.
Main navigation
On the left side of the screen, you will find the main navigation menu. This is where you can access the tools you will use throughout your HeyGen journey, including:
The Getting Started panel
You’ll also see the Getting Started panel on your dashboard. This section guides you through the essential setup steps to ensure nothing is missed.
As you complete each task, it is automatically ticked off. You can return to this panel at any time if you need to pause or continue later.
Depending on your role, your tasks may include:
You do not need to finish everything in one go. HeyGen is designed so that you can move at your own pace.
The aim at this stage is not perfection; it is simply to make sure your account is ready whenever you are ready to create.
In the next course, you’ll start creating your first video and get hands-on experience inside HeyGen’s AI Studio.
