[!TIP] 30-second quick-start
- Bilibili / YouTube online videos: Tap Share → Copy Link in the app, then switch back to this app and the whole set is captured automatically;
- Baidu Drive courses: With official authorization, courses in 2-level folders are packaged into collections automatically — no download, 0 storage used;
- Local files / your own recordings: Import straight from your photo album or file manager — plays instantly offline, a must for travel;
- Between devices & computers: On the same Wi-Fi, Face-to-Face Transfer adds videos in about 2 seconds; on a computer screen, use Scan QR Code to pick courses;
- Commercial copyright boundary: Only public educational content is supported; videos from Youku, iQiyi, Tencent, and official Bilibili anime are protected by private encryption and can't be added.

3. Commercial Copyright & What We Can't Support
Many parents ask: "Why can't I import from iQiyi or Tencent Video? Does Bilibili support official anime?"
3.1 Commercial platforms' private DRM protection
- Long-form content on Tencent Video, iQiyi, Youku, Mango TV, and similar platforms uses closed, proprietary DRM encryption and requires a paid VIP login inside their own apps;
- This app stays firmly within technical and legal bounds — we never crack commercial encryption or redistribute pirated content — so videos locked inside commercial platforms can't be extracted into our sandbox.
3.2 Official Bilibili anime vs. regular Creator content
- ❌ What can't be added: Official Bilibili films and shows marked with the "Anime" or "Guochuang" badge (no personal creator, requires Premiere membership); copyright protection prevents login-free parsing;
- 🟢 100% supported: Regular uploads from individual creators, schools, or educational channels (videos with a creator avatar and a standard
BVnumber — like cell biology explainers, Magic School Bus walkthroughs, phonics, and Chinese classics introductions). All of these are fully supported and can be added quickly!
4. FAQ & Troubleshooting
Q: Will importing many courses fill up my phone or tablet storage?
Not at all!
- Online & cloud-drive content: Uses instant online streaming — only a small buffer exists in memory during playback. Nothing is downloaded to your device, and no physical storage is used;
- Local album content: References the existing files on your device directly, never creating redundant copies.
Q: I copied a link but no "Video link detected" prompt appeared?
- Check the clipboard: Paste it into a note to make sure the full link was copied and nothing is missing;
- Allow the paste permission: On iOS 16+ and some Android systems, when the system asks "Allow pasting?", be sure to choose Allow;
- Add it manually: If no prompt appears, go to [[Parent Center]] → [[Add Video]] → [[Online Video]], long-press the input box, paste, and confirm.
Q: What if it says "Link parsing failed" or "Video info unavailable"?
- Check the video is public: Open the link in a browser and confirm it plays normally there;
- Check private / removed status: Make sure the creator hasn't set it to private and the source site hasn't taken it down;
- Short link → long link: Some short links (like
b23.tv) occasionally hit risk-control blocks. Open the link in a browser, let it redirect, then copy the fullBV-format long URL and try again.
Q: Videos keep buffering, or play with no sound?
- Check the network: Switch Wi-Fi or use your phone's hotspot to rule out router/DNS issues; for overseas platforms (YouTube/TikTok/TED), confirm your device has international access;
- Baidu Drive speed limits: Free (non-member) accounts may get limited bandwidth during evening peaks — try off-peak times or the high-speed channel;
- Audio codec: If a local video has picture but no sound, it likely uses a Dolby AC3 audio track — convert it to standard AAC with a format converter.
