LMS Video Hosting — Encrypted Course Videos for Teachable & Thinkific

LMS Video Hosting

If you sell courses through Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, LearnWorlds, LearnDash, or any other LMS, AVCaption is built for this exact workload.

What you get

  • Encrypted video — every lesson is AES-128 multi-key encrypted. Course pirates can’t easily rip your library.
  • Custom embed player — your brand color, logo watermark, and (Enterprise) per-student dynamic watermark.
  • Iframe embed — drop a single iframe into any LMS that accepts HTML. No JS dependencies.
  • Multi-language subtitles — sell your course in multiple languages without paying translators.
  • Predictable bill — flat $100/month per 5 TB. Doesn’t move when a launch goes viral.

Setup in 4 steps

  1. Sign up at dashboard.avcaption.com.
  2. Upload your course videos — drag-and-drop in browser or chunked upload via API for bulk.
  3. Configure — set domain whitelist to your LMS domain, accent color, optional watermark.
  4. Embed — copy iframe code, paste into LMS lesson body. Done.

Why not host on the LMS itself?

Most LMS platforms (Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi) host video themselves but:

  • Bandwidth caps are common, with overage fees.
  • Resolution caps (often 1080p ceiling).
  • No multi-key encryption — single token per video at best.
  • No dynamic watermark for identifying leakers.
  • No multi-language AI subtitle workflow.

Hosting on AVCaption and embedding via iframe gives you a stronger video layer without leaving your LMS for everything else (sales, drip schedules, student management).

Why not Vimeo or Wistia?

  • Vimeo OTT has documented surprise auto-upgrades and revenue share.
  • Wistia is a B2B marketing tool, not a course host. Caps at 1080p.

Anti-piracy for paid courses

The Enterprise tier ships dynamic per-student watermarks. Each student sees their email rendered into the video frames. If a course is leaked to a piracy site, the watermark identifies who paid for the original.

In practice this stops most casual sharing — students think twice when they realize they’re identifiable.

Multi-language localization

Sell the same course in English, Spanish, German, Vietnamese, Japanese, etc. without paid translators:

  1. Upload your English subtitle file, or let AVCaption Studio create a draft transcript by auto-detecting from the video’s audio.
  2. Edit and approve the source transcript in Studio.
  3. Add additional language tracks (translated .vtt files) to the same video.
  4. Each track shows up as a CC option in the player; the player can also show two languages simultaneously for bilingual learners.

Same video file, multiple subtitle tracks, no re-encode.

Get started

Free tier (ad-supported) is enough to test the embed flow. Premium ($100/mo per 5 TB) is the right tier for most courses — flat fee, viewership doesn’t move it. Enterprise ($250/mo per 5 TB) adds the REST API for SSO/LMS integration and per-student watermarks for high-piracy categories.

Most creators migrate one course first to validate the embed-and-watermark flow. Start with the free tier, upload a single lesson, and paste the iframe into your LMS sandbox before moving the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Does AVCaption work with Teachable, Thinkific, and Kajabi? +
Yes. AVCaption ships an iframe embed that pastes into any LMS lesson body that accepts HTML — Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, LearnWorlds, LearnDash, Podia, and custom WordPress sites all work without plugins.
Is the encryption strong enough to stop course piracy? +
Every lesson is AES-128 multi-key encrypted with rotating segment keys, signed embed tokens, and a strict domain whitelist. The Enterprise tier adds per-student dynamic watermarks that render the buyer email into the video, so leaked copies are traceable.
What does it cost for a course library? +
Premium is a flat $100/month per 5 TB of storage with unmetered bandwidth — predictable even when a launch goes viral. Enterprise is $250/month per 5 TB and adds REST API, AI Studio, and dynamic watermarking. There is also a free ad-supported tier for testing the embed flow.
Can I migrate existing course videos without re-recording? +
Yes. Drag-and-drop upload works for small libraries; chunked upload via REST API works for bulk migration. If you don't have subtitle files, AVCaption Studio can auto-detect a transcript from the video's audio for review and editing — no re-recording required.
Will the player match my course brand? +
Yes. Set your accent color, logo watermark, and (Enterprise) per-student watermark. The player has no external 'powered by' badges.
