Share a course — its page on the web
Every course has a public page, and every channel a page listing its courses — the curriculum, and nothing about you.
Every course built with CoursifyYT has a page on the web — coursifyyt.com/@channelhandle/coursified, with every course from that channel listed at coursifyyt.com/@channelhandle — that anyone can open with no account and no extension. It shows the curriculum. It shows nothing else about you.
Where a course lives
The address is built from the channel’s YouTube @handle, so you can work it out without looking it up. The handle on its own lists every course that channel has; each course sits one level under it:
coursifyyt.com/@mrunalpatel— every course built from that channel.coursifyyt.com/@mrunalpatel/coursified— everything from that channel, in one ordered course.coursifyyt.com/@mrunalpatel/economic-survey-and-budget-analysis— one topic course out of it.
There is nothing to create and nothing to switch on. A course gets its page as soon as it has been built — by you, or by anyone else who coursified that channel.
Copying the link
Open the course, then open Share — in the popup it is in the header, in the panel it is a row of the ☰ menu.
Choose Copy this course’s public link. The URL is printed under the row as well, so you can read it before you send it.
Paste it wherever you like. It is the same link every time, and it needs no account — nothing is being made on your behalf.
What the other person sees
The curriculum
Every discipline, module and topic, in order — and every lecture plays on the page itself. They can search it, collapse the nesting, tick off what they have watched, scan a video to their phone and print the whole thing. Topics the channel doesn’t cover are marked as gaps rather than hidden.
Nothing of yours
Not your notes, your watch progress, your Actions, your saved Ask answers, your quiz scores or your flashcard schedule. Not your email, and not the fact that you were the one who built it — we don’t record that.
The reason it can promise that is worth a sentence: the page doesn’t publish a copy of your course. The curriculum for a channel is built once and cached for everyone who asks for that channel, and the page is a view of that shared copy. There is no snapshot of your data behind the URL to leak from.
Watching it there
A course page is not a list of links out. Click any lecture and it plays on the page, in a dimmed player with the syllabus beside it — no account, no extension, and no sidebar of things to click instead. When one ends the next starts, and the one that finished ticks itself off.
Start — or Continue, once you are part-way through — sits at the top of the page and picks up at the first lecture you haven’t ticked.
The syllabus stays beside the video — the same discipline / module / topic tree the extension shows on YouTube, with what you’ve finished counted at every level and “You are here” marking the lecture playing. Jump anywhere in it without closing the player; n and p move one at a time, and Escape puts you back in the page with your place kept.
Some videos refuse to play outside YouTube. That is the channel’s setting, not a fault of the page — it says so and opens the video on YouTube in one click.
Prefer YouTube itself? Turn off Play here in the bar above the curriculum and every lecture goes back to opening there. Ctrl or ⌘-clicking a lecture always opens it in a new tab, whatever that switch says.
Every lecture has its own link. While one is playing the address bar reads
coursifyyt.com/@mrunalpatel/coursified#VIDEO_ID— copy it, send it, bookmark it, and it opens the course page with that lecture already playing. Copy link and QR sit in the player’s own control row, so you can hand the lecture on without leaving it.That is what every QR code points at now. The small square beside each row, and the one printed next to every lecture in the PDF: scan it and your phone opens the
course
at that lecture — with the syllabus beside it — rather than YouTube’s own page. Exported Markdown and DOC rows link to the same place.
Your ticks follow you
Ticking videos off on a course page works signed out — the ticks stay in that browser. Signed in, they save to your account instead, so a video you tick on the website is already ticked in the extension, and the other way round. None of it affects what anyone else sees: their ticks are theirs, yours are yours, and the page itself is the same for everybody.
Good to know
These pages are public, and search engines can find them. That is the point of them — a syllabus nobody can find helps nobody. What is published is the ordering and grouping of somebody’s public videos, with every video credited and linked back to the channel that made it.
The page follows the channel. If the channel is renamed, or the course is refreshed with new uploads, the page shows the current version — it isn’t a frozen copy.
Older private links still work. Links of the form
coursifyyt.com/c/…, from when sharing worked differently, forward to the course’s address.Want to give someone the file instead? Export is offline, needs no account, and nothing is uploaded. Export →
Questions
Can they see how much of the course I've watched?
No. Your progress is yours; their copy of the page starts at zero and stays on their side.
Can I stop a course being public?
There is no switch, because nothing is being published on your behalf to switch off. A course is on the web because that channel has been coursified — the page shows an ordering of videos that were already public, and anyone could rebuild the same course in about a minute. Nothing about you is on it.
If a page has a genuine problem — a channel owner objecting, or something wrong in the curriculum itself — use the feedback link in the extension and we will look at it.
Can they edit the course?
No — the page is read-only. If they install CoursifyYT and build the same channel, they get their own copy to work in.
Does this cost me anything from my free allowance?
No. Nothing is generated when you copy a link; the curriculum already exists, and the link is built from the channel handle without asking our server anything.
What if the channel has no @handle?
A few channels have never claimed one. Their course still has a page — addressed by the channel’s id instead — but it isn’t a readable URL, and search engines are asked to skip it.
