Upload Process
- Navigate to a lesson in your course curriculum.
- Click Upload Video or drag-and-drop your video file.
- A progress bar shows the upload status.
- Once uploaded, the video enters the Processing queue.
- Processing time depends on file size and resolution — typically 5-15 minutes.
- You will receive a notification when processing is complete.
Bulk Upload
For courses with many video lessons:
- Go to Course → Videos → Bulk Upload.
- Select multiple video files at once.
- Videos are uploaded in parallel for faster completion.
- After upload, map each video to the correct lesson.
Automatic Transcoding
Every uploaded video is automatically transcoded into multiple resolutions:
- 360p — For low-bandwidth connections
- 480p — Standard definition
- 720p — HD quality
- 1080p — Full HD (if source is 1080p or higher)
The video player automatically selects the best quality based on the viewer's internet speed (adaptive bitrate streaming).
DRM Protection
On Pro plans and above, videos are protected with DRM (Digital Rights Management):
- Widevine DRM — For Chrome, Firefox, Android, and smart TVs
- FairPlay DRM — For Safari, iOS, and macOS
- PlayReady DRM — For Edge and Windows devices
DRM prevents screen recording, downloading, and unauthorized sharing. See DRM & Protection for details.
Video Player Features
The built-in video player includes:
- Speed Control — 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x playback speeds
- Captions/Subtitles — Upload SRT files for accessibility
- Quality Selector — Manual quality override
- Keyboard Shortcuts — Space (play/pause), arrow keys (seek), F (fullscreen)
- Resume Playback — Automatically resumes from where the student left off
- Notes — Students can take timestamped notes while watching

Video Analytics
Track how students engage with your videos:
- Watch Time — Average watch time and completion rates
- Drop-Off Points — Where students stop watching
- Re-Watch Patterns — Which segments students replay most
- Speed Usage — What playback speeds are most popular
- Device Distribution — Desktop vs. mobile vs. tablet viewing
Best Practices
- Record in 1080p minimum for professional quality.
- Use an external microphone — audio quality matters more than video quality.
- Keep videos under 15 minutes — shorter videos have higher completion rates.
- Add captions — improves accessibility and comprehension.
- Include chapter markers — help students navigate long videos.
