MZed's content is hosted on Vimeo, one of the world's leading video hosting platforms (only Netflix and YouTube serve more videos). Vimeo's player constantly monitors the video performance and adjusts the quality of the video to provide you with the best performance.
Vimeo offers a list of bandwidth requirements as well as suggestions for improving your playback performance.
If you meet these requirements but experience issues playing the content please contact us.
MZed Pro members can download lessons and courses using our iOS app for iPhone and iPad but are unable to download via a browser.
If you have purchased the content outright, you can download individual course modules in a browser by clicking on the download icon next to the module name on the course page.
MZed offers English captioning on most courses and some non-English subtitles on select courses. To see if a course offers captions and/or subtitles, look below the course description on the course page.
MZed Pro members will be able to stream available captions and subtitles from the video player, and customers who purchase courses outright will also have access to download the captions and subtitles from the module download area of the course page.

We don't offer one-off education pricing as all our content is designed to be a learning tool (versus other companies that offer special education pricing for products and services that have a wider scope and include commercial application).
However we do offer special pricing for institutions that want to offer the content to multiple users on a single account, or display the content to groups. For a quote on special licensing please contact us.
MZed Pro memberships are 12-months, however please note that the hour of day is not taken into account (due to the third-party partner we work with to facilitate subscriptions), so for example if you sign up at 11PM UTC, day two of your membership period will commence an hour later.
As detailed in our Terms of Service, all times listed in your account are in UTC timezone.
From time to time we do have promotions and sales. If you’d like to be notified of upcoming offers, please subscribe to our newsletter by entering your email at the bottom of this page.
