When I use youtube-dl to download from 'https://udemy.com/' it works fine:

e.g. youtube-dl -u xxx -p xxx https://udemy.com/java-tutorial/learn/v4/overview

When I use youtube-dl to download from 'https://*.udemy.com/' (in my case https://mycompany.udemy.com) I get unsupported URL error:

e.g. youtube-dl -u xxx -p xxx https://mycompany.udemy.com/java-tutorial/learn/v4/overview -v

Getting the error: Unsupported URL: https://mycompany.udemy.com/java-tutorial/

command > D:\App Data\Youtube-dl\youtube-dl-bin>youtube-dl -u xxx -p xxx https://mycompany.udemy.com/java-tutorial/learn/v4/overview -v

"Is there a way I could download udemy videos from udemy for business? The custom URL is like mycompany.udemy.com but youtube-dL is not taking it.."

[marzsv]

If there's anyone who can take charge of this issue I can provide a udemy for business account, so he/she can implement this feature.

As of version 2018.09.18, it still seems not possible to download from Udemy Business account.
Error it says is:
