1. if the MongoDB URL starts with mongodb+srv: , then you need to upgrade the mongoose package, otherwise Invalid mongodb uri Must begin with “mongodb://” error will appear

2. if error

Hello im a complete beginneer to learn a MERN stack and follow along this course. hope to get some value ,so the point i got stuck is im not having MLAB account then im try to create a MONGOdb atlas account and now confuse about how do i config and save the users collection like mr stephen steps to database ,

@reflycharles123 the Mlab isn't very intuitive, you could consider using other mongo service provider instead, I recommend Atlas, all the best to your learning journey, also you should provide more details, otherwise, other won't know exactly which point are you stuck at. You could directly approach Stephen in udemy
