    Video Hosting for Tutor LMS<\/h2>\n

    Tutor LMS does not come with its own video hosting. When you build a course, you need to decide where your videos actually live. The platform you pick affects your load speed, student experience, and how much control you have over your content. There are three common options:<\/p>\n

    Option 1 – Upload directly to your WordPress server<\/h3>\n

    You can upload video files to your WordPress media library and embed them in Tutor LMS lessons. This is the simplest option, but it means large video files sit on your shared hosting server, consuming bandwidth and slowing down your site. There is also no adaptive quality adjustment \u2014 the video plays at a fixed resolution regardless of the student’s internet speed.<\/p>\n

    Option 2 – YouTube or Vimeo<\/h3>\n

    Both platforms are free to embed via the Tutor LMS lesson builder. YouTube gives you unlimited storage and adaptive streaming, but it shows suggested videos and ads to your students after playback and your content is publicly accessible by default. Vimeo’s paid plans offer more privacy controls, but neither platform gives you per-student watch time data or lets you restrict access to enrolled students only.<\/p>\n

    Option 3 – VdoCipher (recommended for course creators)<\/h3>\n

    VdoCipher is a dedicated video hosting platform built for online courses. It handles adaptive streaming, gives you a brandable custom player, and provides per-student video watch time analytics \u2014 so you can see exactly how long each student watched and where they dropped off. It also includes piracy protection features like dynamic watermarking and DRM encryption for instructors who sell premium content.<\/p>\n

    The rest of this guide walks you through how to set up VdoCipher as your Tutor LMS video hosting solution in four steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
