For educators
Prepare and review the videos behind your lessons
Keep the videos you use for your own teaching in playlists, annotate the passages that matter and review them before each session.
Your teaching videos pile up in open tabs
You keep clips, lectures and tutorials for your lessons. They end up in bookmarks, untidy YouTube playlists or tabs you don’t dare close.
When you prepare a session, you scrub back through a video to find the passage that illustrates one idea. Writing timestamps in a separate document is tedious, and the link to the source gets lost.
A workflow for preparing a session
-
Gather videos by chapter
Put the videos for each chapter in a playlist, then group playlists and channels in a focused feed by theme.
-
Annotate the passages you will use
While you watch, add a timestamped note on the moment that illustrates the idea, and why it helps.
-
Jump back before the session
Return to any note’s exact moment in one click, or search the transcript when YouTube provides captions.
-
Turn key points into cards
For ideas you want to keep at hand, write a question and an answer, and review them with spaced repetition.
What you use it for
-
Playlists by chapter
Keep the videos for each chapter or session in their own playlist, grouped in a focused feed when needed.
-
Timestamped notes on key passages
Save the exact moment that illustrates an idea, with your own comment, and reopen it when you prepare.
-
Filter notes by keyword
Find a concept across all your notes and videos with a single keyword filter.
-
Searchable transcripts
When YouTube provides captions, search for a term in the transcript and follow the line that matches playback.
-
Study cards for ideas to keep
Keep the points you want to remember as questions and answers, each linked to its source passage to replay.
-
Speed and A–B loops in the extension
The Chrome extension (public install in preparation) controls speed and repeats a tricky passage in an A–B loop on supported HTML5 sites.
What ReplayGlows is not
- Not a class-management tool: no student lists, assignments, grading or LMS integration.
- Not a video library: ReplayGlows does not provide teaching content. You choose and keep your own sources.
- Not a space shared with students: playlists and notes stay in your account, and there is no sharing with a class.
- Not a real-time sync tool: notes saved to your account are available where you sign in, and extension notes stay in your browser.
- Not every video site: the web app works with YouTube, and the extension covers only supported HTML5 video sites.
- Free plan limits: 10 videos, 50 notes per video, 3 playlists and 50 study cards (10 per video).
Frequently asked questions
Can I share a playlist with my students?
Not today. ReplayGlows has no sharing or collaboration with classes. Your playlists and notes stay in your account, and you decide how to use them in class.
Does ReplayGlows manage grades or assignments?
No. It is for your own preparation and review of videos. It does not manage student records, grades or assignments.
Can I use any video in my lessons?
ReplayGlows does not host or redistribute videos. It works with the YouTube videos you choose. Check your school’s rules before showing videos in class.
Are transcripts always available?
No. A transcript appears only when YouTube provides captions for the video.
