Video hosting for LearnDash uses a dedicated video hosting platform to store and deliver course videos while LearnDash manages the learning experience in WordPress. Cinema8 hosts the video files externally, allowing creators to embed professional, ad-free video into lessons without storing large media files on their WordPress hosting.
Cinema8-hosted videos can be added to LearnDash course content using embed code. Upload the video to Cinema8, copy its embed code and add it to the relevant LearnDash lesson, allowing learners to watch the externally hosted video from within their existing course experience.
External video hosting keeps large course video files away from your WordPress hosting while providing infrastructure designed specifically for video delivery. Cinema8 also gives LearnDash creators branded ad-free playback, video analytics and security controls that help them manage premium learning content more effectively.
Cinema8 video analytics help course creators understand how learners engage with individual video lessons, including viewing behaviour that can highlight where content may need improving. The same analytics can help organisations using Moodle understand how learners engage with their video content.
Cinema8 lets course creators make LearnDash video lessons interactive by adding elements such as quizzes directly to hosted videos. Quizzes can check learner understanding at relevant points in a lesson while keeping the learning experience within the video. Course creators delivering educational content through Skool can use the same approach to create more engaging video learning experiences.
