What changes
What changes when the lesson video comes from DynTube
The LMS keeps running the course. The video stops being a heavy file on your WordPress host and becomes a stream with its own controls.
- Adaptive streaming, off your WordPress serverDelivery
- Lessons are processed into adaptive HLS and served from DynTube, so a class pressing play at the same time does not land on your web host, and each learner gets a quality that suits their connection.
- Your player, without someone else’s brandPlayer
- The embed plays through the DynTube player with no third-party ads or recommendations. Appearance and behaviour options are configurable per project.
- Delivery controls where you switch them onProtection
- Encrypted on-demand HLS and the list of domains the player may load on are optional, plan-dependent project settings. They raise the effort needed to lift a lesson; no setting makes a video impossible to copy.
- Captions you attachAccessibility
- Upload WebVTT or SRT captions per language. Automatic captions are a separate, metered workflow.
- Lesson-level reportingMeasurement
- Views, watch time, completion, geography and device per lesson, where your plan includes analytics. Learner-level detail appears only when your site passes its own learner identifier to the player.
Working with MasterStudy LMS
What to know before you switch MasterStudy LMS lessons
Configuration guidance, so nothing surprises you after the move.
Required Video Progress needs a different gate
MasterStudy’s documentation says Required Video Progress and timecodes do not work with Embed sources, because the LMS cannot read the player’s time. Use quizzes or manual completion to gate progress.
Subtitles live in the DynTube player
MasterStudy’s own subtitle field applies to its MP4 sources. With Embed, attach WebVTT or SRT captions in DynTube and they show in the DynTube player.
Questions
MasterStudy LMS video hosting questions
Does Required Video Progress work with a DynTube embed in MasterStudy?
No. MasterStudy documents that Required Video Progress and timecodes do not work with Embed or Shortcode sources, because the LMS cannot read the embedded player’s time. Gate the next lesson with a quiz or manual completion instead.
Do I need a DynTube plugin?
No. DynTube does not publish a WordPress plugin. You paste the embed code DynTube gives you into the lesson, which keeps your site free of another plugin to update.
Will this stop students downloading my lessons?
It makes it harder, not impossible. Optional encrypted HLS and domain restrictions stop the simple routes—right-click saving a file or reusing your embed on another site—when they are enabled. Anything a learner can watch can still be recorded.
Do I have to move every course at once?
No. Move one lesson, check it as a learner and compare it with what you have today. Lessons you have not moved keep playing from wherever they are now.
