# Welcome to UP Academy

Welcome to **UP Academy** — a series of short videos built for anyone getting started with Telestream UP. Each video covers a single step of the onboarding process, and this section adds the extra context, tips, and links to the full documentation for whenever you want to dig deeper.

## How to use this series

Each video is short by design — long enough to show the workflow end to end, short enough to watch between other tasks. The accompanying page for each video:

* Summarizes what the video shows
* Calls out anything easy to miss on screen
* Links to the relevant page(s) in the full [UP documentation](/platform/platform-welcome) for edge cases, field-by-field reference, and troubleshooting

<Tip>
  Work through the videos in order — each step builds on the last: you need a trial organization before you can invite users, and users typically need roles and so on.
