Help & Feedback
Video (2:16) Gale Presents: Udemy - Access, Enroll and Build Skills
Error message "...We're unable to find a SaaS application for the SAML response received..." - this problem is typical after you let a Udemy session go inactive and try to return to it later. It is industry standard to have a session time out after an hour of inactivity and this is not something that we can change. Users who want to do a little Udemy and come back later will need to sign in again; come all the way back to this page and use the Access button to authenticate from our website and you will re-connect to the Udemy platform where you can re-join the course. If you are using the app, you might need to close the app and then launch the app again.
