QMamaQ: Can I use Livid instead of Vimeo or Youtube?
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?

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.
Kind regards,

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?

… but will stop link sharing.

Hoping that comes in order… couldn’t copy the whole thing in one reply 😉
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.
