I don't know, but then it would be good to have some navigation to the lesson from the video.

Actually, I've been watching Ben Finegold on youtube for a while, so I watched some of his videos. Now browsing the lessons, I realized that for example the first tournament videos are part of a lesson series with challenges. But if you just find the video, there is no way to know it's part of a series or part of a lesson, I think if you watch the video, there should be a link to get to the lesson series that video is part of.

Most good videos are being ported over to Lessons - with challenges/questions added! If you have a favorite video series, let us know!

I haven't looked at many as I don't have the diamond membership for long. What I mean is that for example this video
https://www.chess.com/video/player/your-1st-tournament-how-to-handle-draw-claims
is part of this lesson series
https://www.chess.com/lessons/your-first-tournament
But if you stumble on the video by searching for a topic or seeing it on the author's profile, there is no way to tell that it's part of a series or a lesson. Nor the lessons themselves for that matter. Like in the right top corner you can see that the lesson is in lessons, but not what section or that it's part of a series, so if you use the search function to find a topic, you don't know that the lesson is part of a series unless it starts with "welcome to part X of the series" and then you won't know where to look for the others. So instead of just saying "Lectures", it could say "Lectures/Mastery/Other/Your first tournament" and be able to navigate to any of the directories.
Could maybe the video navigation be improved? I'm fairly new to this but I've clicked on some that I found interesting and it starts with something like "Welcome to part five of our series..." or "In the last video we discussed... so now we can..." with no easy way to navigate those mentioned videos or other parts of the series, at least I couldn't find one. There are two videos by the same content creator, but it's not shown which the first part is, if it's even among the two. Clicking one more from author leads to a 404 error. Clicking on videos on the right leads to the generic video page unrelated to the current one
It would be great to have a sidebar with all chapters if a video is part of a series or to have the videos link lead you to grouped videos of that series.
Best way to do it currently seems to be to go to the creator's profile and find the parts by date.
