# How can I update an exercise demonstration video?

You can replace the video for an exercise to show your own demonstration or a different example.

The **Update Video** option is available in:

-   Workout Editor
    
-   Training Plan Editor
    
-   Exercise Editor
    
-   Exercise Library
    

> **Info:** When you update an exercise demonstration video, the new video will appear wherever that exercise is used, including in all training plans and workout logs. This ensures your clients always see the most up-to-date video you’ve shared.

## How to Update a Video in the Exercise Editor

1.  Open the exercise menu (three-dot menu)
    
2.  Click **Update Video**

3.  Paste a valid **embed URL (YouTube, Vimeo etc)**
    

When a valid URL is entered:

-   The video **thumbnail updates immediately**
    
-   The **Done** button becomes available
    

If the URL is not a valid embed link:

-   An error message will appear
    
-   The **Done** button will remain disabled

4.  Click **Done**
    

### Cancel Changes

Selecting **Cancel** restores the original video and thumbnail.

Changes are only final once the workout or plan is saved.

> **Info:** If you update the video on a CoachKit exercise, it will create a copy of that exercise in your Exercise Library.

1.  Navigate to **Library > Exercises**
    
2.  Click on the exercise you want to edit
    
3.  Under the Video Demonstration section, paste your updated video embed URL
