Adding a video activity

With the Video activity type you play a hosted video directly inside a course, without SCORM packaging and without a manual complete button. The activity completes itself once the employee has watched the video almost entirely.

When to choose a video activity

  • For pure watching videos, for example a board video or an explainer.
  • For interactive modules with questions and exercises, SCORM remains the right choice.

How to add the activity

  1. Open the course and choose the Video type when creating an activity.
  2. Upload a video file per language (mp4 or webm, 500 MB at most) or enter a video URL.
  3. Save the activity; no separate complete button is needed.

How the player behaves

  • The video starts automatically when the activity is opened. If the browser blocks sound, the video starts muted with a hint on screen; the first click turns the sound on.
  • The activity is registered as completed automatically once the video has been watched almost entirely.
  • Anyone who stops and returns later resumes where they left off.
  • Skipping ahead past parts that have not been watched yet is prevented.

Security

Uploaded videos are stored privately and played only through a temporary, secured link. A video file cannot be reached through a fixed public location.
