Track the evolution of Udemie. From initial beta to the powerful learning OS it is today.
v3.6.5
StableSep 25, 2026- Windows 11: Udemie now has Continue Learning and Downloads widgets for the Widgets Board. These widgets are available in the Microsoft Store package.
- Media keys, headset controls and the system media overlay can now play, pause, seek and move between lessons while showing the current course and lecture.
- Windows: right-click Udemie in the taskbar or Start menu for shortcuts to Continue Learning, Downloads, Library and recent courses.
- Download notifications are now course-level instead of lecture-level, with actions to open the course, its folder or Downloads.
- Long downloads keep the computer awake, and interrupted downloads can automatically resume the next time Udemie starts.
- Windows: large downloads on metered connections now ask before using data, with options to continue, wait for Wi-Fi or cancel.
- Buying PRO from the desktop now returns to Udemie and activates the device automatically after checkout.
- Settings are reorganized into General, Downloads and Playback, with changes saved automatically instead of waiting for one Save button.
- Microsoft Store users can now discover the Windows widgets from Udemie itself, with setup guidance in the dashboard and Settings.
v3.6.4
StableSep 23, 2026- Linux: the Snap app has sound again: lectures played in silence because audio could not reach PipeWire or PulseAudio from inside the Snap Read the story
- Linux: the Snap app draws with your graphics card again instead of the processor, so the player, hover effects and animations respond instantly Read the story
- Linux: Udemy lectures that failed before downloading in the Snap app now download normally, because the bundled downloader ships with everything it needs
- The selection bar on a course page stays readable while the lecture list scrolls underneath it
- This release also gives clearer diagnostics when a download fails or is cancelled
v3.6.3
StableSep 16, 2026- Choose exactly what you download: tick individual lectures, take a whole section, or shift-click a range, with the count shown before anything starts
- Protected lectures are now marked in the course outline and left out of downloads, instead of failing partway through and spending a download for nothing
- Smart Speed skips the silent stretches of a lecture while you watch, without speeding up the speech
- Udemie can now keep working from the system tray: close the window and your downloads, the browser extension and the capture shortcut carry on
- Course notes can be exported, as a document to keep and read, or as a file your flashcard app can import
- Downloaded files can be numbered by section or across the whole course, so any player keeps your lessons in order
- Re-downloading a course now only fetches what is missing instead of starting over, and a course you already have says so
- Subtitle languages are yours to choose, and captions can be saved as .srt for players that expect that format
- Courses included with a Udemy subscription now appear alongside the ones you bought
- Text lessons (articles and e-books) are saved as readable pages next to the videos, and a download speed limit and a proxy can be set in Settings
- LinkedIn Learning batches no longer time out while lectures are still being prepared, and lectures now download through a faster, more reliable path
- This release also uses less memory over long sessions, and shows you what changed after an update
v3.6.2
StableSep 12, 2026- Download queues now pause safely when the download engine needs attention, repair themselves when possible, and resume without losing items
- Full disks, locked files, missing folders and unavailable media components now receive clearer guidance and safer retry behavior
- Protected content is handled calmly as unsupported, with one clear explanation and a guide to understanding DRM video. Read the DRM guide
- Download-engine repair now rebuilds the managed yt-dlp and FFmpeg components in place, without requiring an application reinstall
- Support and license emails are now queued and retried reliably if the email provider is temporarily unavailable
- This release also improves crash diagnostics, analytics privacy and landing-page stability
v3.6.1
StableAug 28, 2026- Downloads now refresh expired Udemy file links automatically, so signed media URLs can recover without asking you to start the download again
- Supplementary files are handled separately from ordinary web links, preventing pages and external resources from being reported as broken downloads
- Partial downloads now explain what completed and what needs attention, while temporary network failures use quieter, safer retries
- Player controls are easier to find: playback speed and A–B loop have dedicated controls, while autoplay, ambient mode and the player shadow stay together in Settings
v3.6.0
StableAug 27, 2026- The player is now a learning workspace: a clickable transcript that follows the video, your notes pinned as dots on the timeline, course chat right beside the video, and Summary, Notes and Resources one tab away
- Watching feels like a streaming app: the interface fades out during playback, a soft glow follows the video's colors, the next lesson offers itself before the current one ends, and finishing a course is finally celebrated
- Real video thumbnails everywhere: hover the timeline to preview the exact moment, and Home and course lists now resume on the very frame where you stopped
- Hold → for double speed, press ? for the full shortcut list, B drops a note at the current second, plus picture-in-picture, an A–B repeat loop, and caption size and background settings
- A calmer, softer redesign across the whole app (Home, Downloads, Library, course pages, Search and Settings), with better readability in light mode
- Buying PRO from inside the app now activates automatically right after checkout, with no more copying a license key out of your email
v3.5.11
StableAug 25, 2026- Udemy video downloads now use the same resilient download engine on every plan, reducing failures caused by expired media links

- Settings now shows the health of the video download engine and lets you repair or update it when needed
v3.5.10
StableAug 17, 2026- Fixed: signing in to a personal Udemy account opened Udemy's homepage instead of its login page, leaving you to find the login link yourself
- Fixed: the "start downloads automatically" switch showed as off when it was on, and saving Settings then really did turn it off, quietly leaving every download paused
v3.5.9
StableAug 17, 2026- New here? Udemie now walks you through it: pick your platform, sign in without leaving the app, and it points you to your first download
- Signing in happens inside Udemie instead of a separate window, so the page you were reading stays where you left it
- Course pages open on the first chapter instead of every chapter closed
- A download that partly worked now says so, instead of being reported in the same red as one that failed completely
- Downloads that fail now name the reason (a full disk, an expired link) where many used to just say something went wrong
v3.5.8
StableAug 16, 2026- Invite a friend and earn free PRO time: a week when they buy monthly, two weeks for yearly, a month for Lifetime. No cap, no payouts to chase: your own PRO simply lasts longer. Get your link
- When a course's lessons don't load, Udemie now tells you why (an expired session, a verification check, a rate limit or a connection problem) instead of saying the course is empty, and offers to retry when retrying can help
- Signing in now explains up front that it happens on Udemy's own page, and that only the session token is kept, on your computer
v3.5.7
StableAug 15, 2026- Signing in to Udemy no longer gives up while you're still signing in: verification steps and two-factor prompts have the time they need
- If Udemy shows a verification step, you can now switch to the browser extension right from the message and skip it entirely
v3.5.6
StableAug 11, 2026- Fixed: downloaded files were sometimes reported as missing when they were right there
- A free trial without a card now runs 24 hours; the 7-day trial is available with a card
- Every "get the app" link now lands on the downloads page
- Downloads resumed after a restart now count against your monthly allowance once, as they always should have
v3.5.5
StableAug 9, 2026- Free downloads now run at full speed, and the 350 KB/s cap is gone
- The free plan is now 30 lectures a month across every course, renewing on the 1st. PRO stays unlimited
- Downloads that fail now tell you what went wrong instead of showing an exit code
- Fixed: some failures were reported without any detail at all, so a whole course could fail silently
v3.5.4
StableAug 7, 2026- Reinstalling no longer costs you a device: your licence recognizes the same computer, even after a clean install
- Out of device slots? Move your licence to the computer you're on, straight from Settings, with no support ticket needed
- Fixed: "Device limit reached" when reactivating on the very same machine
- Courses with protected lectures now show one clear message instead of one per lecture, and the rest of the course keeps downloading

- Multiple accounts, side by side: keep a personal and a Business account connected at once. Each remembers its own organization portal, so switching never mixes up your libraries
- Rate Udemie in a click: a new button in the sidebar takes you straight to the store whenever you're ready to leave a review
- Sharper everyday UX: clearer subtitle notifications, a tidier library order, and smarter download-all behavior
