dr._thomasQ: VIdeo Downloading
I plan to purchase TIER 2. Does the lesson prevents students from downloading the video or the lesson?

You meant if I upload my video lesson in my own hosting side, students will be able to download the video? Anyway to prevent it? If students can download the video, the lesson video will be shared and lesson privacy will not the there.
If you upload the video directly to your own site, it can be downloaded. However, if you host the video on an external service like Bunny.net and simply embed the video link into your website’s lesson, students won’t be able to download it.
how about if link from vimeo or youtube? Can it prevent the download if the link is private?
thanks
it will be great if your team can look into this as most course developer will prefer their students learn it online solely and not able to download it for copyright and sharing
issues.
