Protect your content
Keep lessons on your course site
The biggest risk to paid course video isn’t hacking — it’s your player being copied onto another page. With domain restriction, browsers refuse to show your lessons anywhere except the domains you list, and the embed address doesn’t play on its own.
Combine it with your course platform’s login and your lessons are available only to enrolled students on your site.
- Works with any course builder or CMS that accepts embed code
- Subdomain wildcards supported
- No public links to the lesson files
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the best video hosting for online courses?
A host without ads or recommendations, with smooth streaming, subtitles and embeds that can’t be reused on other sites. VodSpot provides all of that and works inside any course platform that accepts embed code.
How do I stop students from sharing my course videos?
Restrict embeds to your course domain so the player won’t work elsewhere, and keep the lesson pages behind your course login. No system can stop screen recording, so DRM-level protection isn’t claimed.
Does VodSpot integrate with my course platform?
VodSpot uses standard embed code, so it works with any platform or site builder that lets you paste an iframe.
What is the cheapest way to host course videos?
Plans are priced by storage with no bandwidth overage fees, starting with Solo at 150 GB. See pricing.
Do students continue where they stopped?
Yes. The player remembers where each viewer stopped, and chapters let students jump to a topic inside a long lesson.
