Q: Feature enquiry — forced/unskippable video watching in lessons
I’m in the process of building a course on OnlineCourseHost.com and I’d like to know if the platform supports making lesson videos mandatory to watch (i.e., cannot be skipped ahead) before the student can progress to the next lesson.
Specifically:
Can I configure a video lesson so the student must watch X% (or the full video) before the “Next” or “Continue” button becomes active?
If yes — what...

A: Hello there,
Thank you for writing in.
Unfortunately, there is no setting on the platform that allows you to mandate the number of minutes your students have to watch before they can move to the next lesson.
This applies to both uploaded videos and embedded videos from external platforms.
This is why we recommend that course creators keep their videos short or divide them into digestible...
Q: Lifetime deal + potential to include Unlimited plan subscription when scaling
Hi, I am interested to purchase one code for a lifetime deal to test the waters re size of our market with 3 courses first. If we find that we are able to scale and offer more courses beyond the initial 3, can we combine in the future an Appsumo plan with an Unlimited Plan for unlimited courses? Would there be special rates for Appsumo customers combining a lifetime deal with an Unlimited Subscription in the future?

A: Hello Patch,
Thank you for writing in.
Yes, there is a 40% discount for AppSumo users to move to the UNLIMITED plan, and this discount applies to initial payments and renewals. When you do this, you won't be combining the two plans; instead, you will be upgrading from the lifetime deal to the monthly or yearly UNLIMITED subscription.
Hi Abisola, thanks for this response. Two more questions:
(1) For the 3 courses per code, is it possible to delete a course that is not performing well and create a new one? For example, I might test 3 courses, then find out that Course A is not performing well. Can I delete Course A and create a new one to replace that Course A?
(2) Does the 40% disc for LTD buyers also apply to Pro accounts?
Thank you for writing back. Below are the answers to your questions.
1. Yes, you can delete course A and replace it with course B.
2. The discount percentage is different. For a lifetime deal buyer, you can move to BASIC with a 30% discount, PRO with a 35% discount, and UNLIMITED with a 40% discount.
This was previously answered by Vasco Cavalheiro who said you can have 4 separate courses and charge for each separately on the same website — you’ll need one coupon per course. If you want a standalone course on a separate domain you can do that too (e.g., 5 courses: activate 4 coupons on site A and 1 on site B); all students for the 4 courses on website A will be on a separate list from website...
Q: I want to have all 9 level 3 courses in the same academy
I purchased Level 3, but when I redeem the codes, it creates three different academies. I need all nine courses in one academy. Can you combine them?

A: Hi, please send all three of your AppSumo codes along with the website URL where you’d like to redeem them to helpdesk@onlinecoursehost.com. Once we receive the details, our team will process them and make the necessary updates.
Good news! This was previously answered by Sajid Majeed who said you can either stack your new AppSumo code on your existing academy to increase course capacity (so all nine courses can be in one academy), or redeem it on a new site to create a separate academy. If you’d like us to stack the code on your existing site, send the code to helpdesk@onlinecoursehost.com and we’ll take care of it for...

Thank you for writing in.
Under this deal, one code gives access to 3 courses, so if you redeem one code, you will only be able to create three courses on your platform.

Q: Hello, what do 3 courses mean? Each course can have different domain?

It means you can only create 3 courses under one website when you redeem one code. The three courses will be under the same domain.
