Now, before we get into the technical content, I want to share some tips and tricks with regards to
the Udemy interface.
If you already know how to use the Udemy interface, you can skip this video, but hopefully these tips
will help you improve your experience using the Udemy interface.
The first thing is you can increase the speed of playback.
Some people will complain that I speak too slowly.
Some people will say that I speak too quickly.
Other instructors may be too fast or too slow.
You could, as an example, set the video to two times speed.
That's typically how I watch videos.
I like to watch a lot faster.
You can increase the sound levels by clicking here.
You can change the video quality by clicking on the COG.
This video is an example, has a maximum of 720 p, but this video has a maximum quality of ten AP.
Some people have complained that the quality of the videos are really low.
That could be a setting that's auto adjusted based on your internet speed.
So if you're finding that the quality is too low, then set it up.
Udemy also supports closed captions.
You can use auto generated closed captions.
You can change the size of the closed captions.
Now some captions are auto generated, some are manually created.
It depends on the course.
You can also look at the transcript.
So to the right you can see the transcript for the video That really helps people.
But as an example, you can see here that the auto generated captions are incorrect.
That should be bash bunny, not push.
Funny.
You can also expand the view of the video or reduce it.
You can also go full screen or reduce that lots of nice options within the YouTube interface.
To customize the interface for your own requirements.
You can also add notes for a specific part of the video.
You can skip along.
So jump along in the video.
You can also rewind 5 seconds or go forward 5 seconds.
Now, something that's really important is you can access resources.
Udemy used to have this on the right.
At the moment it's on the left.
It depends.
When you're watching this as an example, that's a link to my Discord server.
But many times there is software or Wireshark captures and other things that you can download using
the resources, so please look out for those resources.
Here's another example from Chris, who's created a Wireshark course.
You can download various Pcap files from the resources within his course.
Make sure that you have a look at the various resources that have been shared as part of the course.
Now, in some cases you can download lectures.
That really depends.
Some people find that they would prefer watching the videos offline.
One of the best options is the Udemy app, so you can use the Udemy app on your phone as an example
and then download all the lectures to your phone and then watch offline.
They also have keyboard shortcuts, which you may find useful, such as space for play and pause.
You can press the left arrow key to go back 5 seconds, right?
Eric To go forward 5 seconds.
You can increase the volume you can use to mute the video, etc. Lots of useful options within the Udemy
interface.
There's also the Q&A sections.
So various questions have been asked about this video.
Before you ask your question, have a look at the Q&A to see if other people have asked a similar question.
Any announcements that have been posted will be shown below the video as well.
Lots of great options available within the Udemy interface.
I hope that this saves you some time and makes the interface more usable.
