Question 2

How to setup a custom domain

Accepted Answer

You can use a self-purchased domain name with Teachify to increase your website's brand recognition!

For example, the following websites all use their own corporate domain names:

There are two types of domain configurations you can use. The first is to directly bind your purchased domain to Teachify, while the second is to create a "subdomain," which means adding an English word in front of your purchased primary domain.

Creating a subdomain is also very simple. After purchasing a domain, you can usually set it up on the website where you bought it.

Therefore, the most common configurations after purchasing a domain (using the Teachify domain name as an example) are as follows:

In this example, teachify.tw is the primary domain, and blog and www are subdomains.

Subdomains can be any English word, with the most common ones being school, course, and academy. We have also seen more creative subdomains, such as vip, learn, and content.

Question 4

Can Teachify embed Vimeo videos?

Accepted Answer

Teachify allows users to upload videos directly to the backend, and it's also possible to embed Vimeo videos.

To upload a video, go to the course backend → Chapter - Section Upload File→ Embed Video URL.

When embedding Vimeo videos, please note that you need to go to the Vimeo backend and change the "where can this be embedded?" setting in Privacy to "Specific domains" and enter your Teachify academy domain in the specific URL field. This way, the video will not be publicly shared and can only be viewed in your academy.

Using Teachify's demo website as an example, the field to enter the specific URL would be demo.useteachify.com.

⚠️ This feature is only available to Vimeo paid users. Official instructions can be found here.
