Self hostesd videos for LMS

Question

On your website you picture future plans. That's quite interessting and I am amazed to see, that you are improving SuiteDash continuesly with a strong commitment to customer perspective, based on a unique concept.

For the LMS module you mention upcoming self-hosted video solutions. Can you please descripe this future feature in some detail? Do one need an own server or can one use clouds like dropbox?

At what cost is ist possible to buy additions space from SuiteDash for LMS videos?
Can I generally use the space from the appsumo LTD purchase?
Are there some advantages to store videos on the SuiteDash Cloud compared to Dropbox oder self-hosted videos?

Thanks for this powerful all-in-one software. The features and connections between the modules fit quite well to my needs. I am a freelancer and I advice clients in terms of health issues.

This feature allows you to centralize your video content, making it accessible and convenient for your users.\u000a\u000aDistraction\u002DFree Video Player: The native video player in SuiteDash provides a professional, distraction\u002Dfree viewing experience.

This ensures that your message is delivered clearly and without interruption.\u000a\u000aEnforce Video Completion: And, exclusive to the Hosted Video Service, you can enforce participant engagement by requiring them to watch a set percentage of your videos before they can advance to the next lesson. This feature is natively integrated in LMS Lessons, where ensuring the thorough understanding of critical content is essential. By enforcing video completion, you guarantee that participants absorb the necessary information before moving forward.\u000a\u000a👍 Cost\u002DEffective Solution: Benefit from an affordable, no\u002Dprofit pricing model that makes video hosting accessible for businesses of all sizes.\u000a\u000a👍 Professional Experience: Deliver a clean, focused video experience without the distractions of third\u002Dparty overlays, keeping your audience fully engaged.\u000a\u000a👍 Enhanced Learning: Ensure participants fully engage with your LMS content by enforcing video completion, improving the overall effectiveness of your courses.\u000a\u000aTL\u003BDR: The Hosted Video Service Subscription offers native video hosting with affordable pricing, a distraction\u002Dfree player, and enforced video completion to enhance your LMS and ensure participant engagement.\u000a\u000aAvailable to be added to ANY SuiteDash account!\u000a\u000aDOCS: https://help.suitedash.com/article/585\u002Dservice\u002Dsubscriptions, https://help.suitedash.com/article/455\u002Dblock\u002Deditor\u002Dblock\u002Dtypes\u000a\u000a\u002D\u002D\u002D\u000a\u000aRE: Videos in LMS, you can embed YouTube or any other videos from other services like Vimeo or Wistia. YouTube is FREE to use because they support the service with advertising BUT, as you know, something like Vimeo or Wistia is not free (you have to pay them, not us), and this is because hosting and streaming video has a definite ongoing (not one\u002Dtime) cost, and that again is why we can\u0027t offer you that for free in an ongoing way.\u000a\u000aSo, there is an OPTIONAL Hosted Video Service that we offer for an additional fee, but it has distinct functionality advantages over free and even other paid options.\u000a\u000aThe advantage is that our Hosted Video service gives you the ability to enforce participant engagement by requiring them to watch a set percentage of your videos before they can advance to the next lesson. This feature is natively integrated in LMS Lessons, where ensuring the thorough understanding of critical content is essential. By enforcing video completion, you guarantee that participants absorb the necessary information before moving forward.\u000a\u000aAnd like all other Service Subscriptions, we provide has variable costs based on usage, our policy is to pass those costs directly to you without any markup – we don’t profit on these Services. This aligns with our goal of keeping SuiteDash affordable for small and medium\u002Dsized businesses worldwide. If you don’t need the Service, you don’t pay for it. If you do, you pay a reduced cost that is as close as possible to “wholesale pricing” which ultimately saves you money. This is better than the alternative approach, in which we’d have to increase pricing of our Plans for everyone to cover our costs, meaning you’d pay the same whether you used the service or not.\u000a\u000aHope that helps!\u000a\u000aThanks,\u000a\u000aMike
