How to Transcribe a Kajabi Course Video
Updated 24 Apr 2026 · TranscriptX editorial
Quick answer: If you own the Kajabi course: export the video from your Kajabi admin. If you're a student: download the lecture (if the creator enabled it), upload to Drive, paste on TranscriptX. Kajabi doesn't have built-in transcription — you'll need external tools like us.
Step-by-step
1) Creator: export from your admin
In your Kajabi admin, open the course → lesson → download the original video file.
2) Student: download via enrolled session
If the creator enabled downloads on the lesson, right-click the video player → Save video. Otherwise, request the file from the creator.
3) Upload to Drive, paste
Drive flow → paste on TranscriptX.
Common things that break
- Kajabi doesn't include transcription. Unlike Coursera/Udemy, Kajabi has no built-in transcripts. External transcription (us, or another service) is required.
- Downloads disabled on the course. Creators can disable student downloads. Students have to ask the creator for the file, or settle for no transcript.
- Video hosted on Wistia under Kajabi. Kajabi uses Wistia under the hood for video hosting. Some flows work better by going through Wistia directly — see <a href="/how-to-transcribe/wistia">our Wistia guide</a>.

FAQ
Why does Kajabi need external transcription?
Kajabi focuses on course delivery + payments, not transcription. Most creators add transcripts manually or use a service like us.
What about Kajabi communities / coaching videos?
Same flow — all video on Kajabi is hostable on Wistia. Get the file or share URL, paste.
