Ali Mathis of the LifterLMS team joins Chris Badgett on this episode of the LMScast podcast to discuss the upcoming LifterLMS Advanced Video add-on to be released on September 15th of 2019. Ali and Chris dive into the feature set included in the LifterLMS Advanced Video add-on and what new opportunities it can bring to your course website.
Where to host your videos is something Ali and Chris cover as well in this episode. You can upload videos to your WordPress website, but often this can slow your website down. So we recommend hosting with a company such as Vimeo Pro or Wistia Pro. If you are trying to launch your course on a budget, you can also host an unlisted YouTube video, but that has lower security when compared to Vimeo Pro or Wistia Pro.
One feature we have seen a lot of requests for is the ability to not allow students to complete a lesson until they have watched the entire video. That feature is included with LifterLMS Advanced Video, so if that is something you’d like to include with your courses, that option will soon be available.
Another neat feature in the LifterLMS Advanced Video add-on is the ability to brand your video player to your company. If you’d like to match brand identity and brand colors throughout your website, you will have that option on video players now. New video analytics will also allow you to tell watch time, and you can view that data in the LifterLMS reporting. Students will also have the ability to pick up in a video where they left off if they leave the site and return to watching later.
We are offering a discount on the Advanced Video add-on if you purchase before the release on September 15th, 2019 of 15% recurring discount, so $169/year rather than $199/year. And if you purchase the Infinity Bundle between July 16th and September 15th, 2019 you’ll get three free months added onto your license. Check that offer out at LifterLMS.com. Thanks for joining us!
