About the course home page
The first thing users see when they open a course is the home page. They can see it before the course starts and even before they enroll. So, it’s a great way to introduce the course and explain why they might want to take it.
The page already includes a list of lesson titles. (Users can’t open them until they are enrolled and it starts). You can customize it further with images, videos, and text.

Add a video
If you add a course video, it replaces the icon image at the top of the home page. Note that the icon image is still required because it appears in other locations around the site. The video only appears on the course home page.
...
Go to the bottom of the Course Info tab.
Under Video, paste a Course Video URL. It must be an MP4 video URL hosted by the JUNO team in our s3 bucket or hosted externally. At this time, you can’t directly upload videos or use a Youtube, Vimeo, Wistia, or Brightcove link.
