I'm demonstrating something on YouTube, and I would like to provide a link to download a PDF file that summarizes or highlights for YouTube. Is that considered a course ? If not, is there any limit to the number of digital downloads?

A: Hello Fillip,
Thank you for writing in.
If you create the digital download as a standalone, it becomes a course and takes out of your course limit.
But if you create it under an existing course as a lesson, it doesn't count as a course, and as a lesson, there is no limit to the number of digital downloads that you can create.
that’s great so just to confirm I can create a PDF for a course and uploaded and they can download it and in the future I can add more PDF to that specific course. Perfect thank you
Wondering if y'all support using Livid instead of vimeo or youtube for a video hosting platform. Livid has an AppSumo product and it looks really good, but I don't want to purchase it if it won't work with onlinecoursehost because my courses are already on your platform (and I'm liking it at OCH, even with a few quirks). Can you comment on whether Livid would be a possibility under your 'other platforms' option in a video lesson?

A: Hello there,
Thank you for writing in.
If your video hosted on Livid comes with an embed code, you can use it under "Other Platforms." Every video hosted externally with an embed code can be used.
You can see my parallel question in the Livid questions, but over there ‘dep’ said: Hi! Just changed 48 videos from Vimeo to Livid on onlinecoursehost.com. Tweaked the Livid Customized Appearance - removing the Livid logo and limited most of the player controls. Under the Share & Embed section of Livid I made the videos Unlisted for privacy and under Advanced Settings I added my
… onlinecoursehost.com domain under restricted embed domains. Works like a charm!
To which I also added:
Thanks! This is super helpful! Do you happen to know if this minimizes the risk of people copying the link and sharing it like they can do on YouTube unlisted?
Yes, it came in order, and I also found the thread on Livid's page. I'm not sure how Livid's domain and watch restrictions work, but as long as the video can be embedded and watched anywhere (as Dep and Matt explained), it will work on your platform with us. All you need is the HTML embed code.
Add livid convo for others w/same ?. Matt_livid: In embed section, if you add domain restrictions the video is only available for playback on the Livid domains + any domain you selected. You can also turn off the watch page if you add domain restrictions to prevent further sharing of the video. As with any form of sharing protections (including DRM!) this isn't perfect, but will stop link sharing.
Q: How does buying the new code works for Old Account Holders?
I have the old onlinecoursehost.com account, which has limited storage space (6 GB). So, if I buy this new 1 code for $99, it says unlimited storage. So, will my account be upgraded accordingly and the storage limit removed?
How does it work for old onlinecoursehost.com account holders if they buy new code now?

A: Hello Chandril,
Thank you for writing in.
Your old code comes with 5GB per code, and you can upload unlimited courses under it, while this code comes with unlimited storage, with only 3 courses per code.
The two codes are not compatible, so you can't use this code for an existing website with another code. If you purchase this code, you need to use it on a different website.

Q: How many "Community" rooms in each code?
Same question for SCORM imports and community history.

Jun 29, 2026A: Hello there,
Thank you for writing in.
For each code used on different websites, you have 1 community, 3 rooms, 1 year of community history, and 5 SCORM courses.
However, if you redeem multiple codes on one website, only the course access will increase from 3 to 6 or 9 or 30. Other features will not increase.

Q: Is it possible to split payment like uteach offers?
I often co-teach courses with other instructors. Do you offer a split-payment option that automatically pays both of us a fixed %?
Uteach (another LMS which was on appsumo) offers that. Do you offer that?

No, we do not offer a split-payment option. You will need to pay the other instructors outside the platform.
