Watch the video, then click "Mark as done"
A lot of you are watching the lesson videos and moving on to the next lesson. That is great. But your progress bar is not moving and you are not leveling up. Here is why.
Skool does not auto-complete lessons when you watch the video. You have to manually click the "Mark as done" button.
Where is the button?
Open any lesson in the Classroom. Above the video player, you will see a button that says "Mark as done". Click it after you finish watching the video and reading the lesson content.
What happens when you click it?
- Your course progress bar moves (0% to 25% per lesson depending on the course)
- You earn points toward your level
- When you earn enough points, you level up (Level 1 to Level 2, etc.)
Why this matters
Right now, most of you are stuck at Level 1 with 1 point. That is the join bonus. You have not earned any lesson-completion points because the "Mark as done" button has not been clicked.
Level 2 unlocks posting in the community feed. Level 7 unlocks DMs with other members. Higher levels unlock more courses. None of that happens until you start marking lessons as done.
Quick steps
- Go to the Classroom
- Open a course (start with Cybersecurity Foundations if you have not yet)
- Watch the video and read the lesson
- Click "Mark as done" above the video
- Move to the next lesson and repeat
That is it. One click per lesson. Do that for all four lessons in a course and you will see your progress bar hit 100% and your points jump.
