By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Sparkforge courses now support audio lessons. Upload MP3, AAC, or WAV files under Memberships > Courses > Lessons, then publish to make them available to learners.

Course lessons in Sparkforge now accept audio uploads. Drop in an MP3, AAC, or WAV and learners can play it on desktop, tablet, or mobile. Use audio as a standalone lesson or pair it with text content.

Adding an audio lesson

  1. Go to Memberships > Courses > Lessons.
  2. Pick Audio as the lesson content type.
  3. Upload the file. Use audio alone or combine it with text content in the same lesson.
  4. Publish the lesson to make it visible to enrolled students.

Supported formats

  • MP3
  • AAC
  • WAV

Uploaded audio is optimized for desktops, tablets, and mobile phones, so learners can play lessons from any device.

Thumbnails

Audio lesson thumbnails pull from the lesson's existing thumbnail image. That keeps branding consistent across video, text, and audio lessons in the same course.

Playback controls for learners

Learners can adjust playback speed to consume lessons faster or slower than the recorded pace.

Limitations

Snapshot and cloning aren't yet supported for audio files. Plan around that if you replicate courses across sub-accounts.
