Set-up

How do I add a DynTube video to a Tutor LMS lesson?

Four steps, following Tutor LMS’s own documentation for where embedded video goes. No plugin, no theme change.

  1. 01

    Copy the embed code from DynTube

    Upload the lesson into a DynTube project, wait for processing to finish, then open the video’s Embed Code and copy the responsive iframe. External embedding depends on your plan; project defaults such as player settings and domain rules apply to uploads made after you set them.

  2. 02

    Open the lesson in the Tutor course builder

    Edit the course, open the lesson and find its Video section.

  3. 03

    Choose the Embedded video source

    Set the video source to Embedded and paste the DynTube iframe into the field, then save. Tutor keeps the iframe and supplies its own 16:9 frame, so the outer wrapper div is not needed.

  4. 04

    Check it as a learner

    Open the lesson in a private window with a student account. The player should load on your domain, adapt to the connection and show the branding and controls the project allows.

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 Tutor LMS

What to know before you switch Tutor LMS lessons

Configuration guidance, so nothing surprises you after the move.

  • Embedded, not Shortcode

    Tutor’s Shortcode source expects a shortcode from a video plugin. DynTube does not publish a WordPress plugin or shortcode, so use the Embedded source with the iframe.

  • Course access and certificates stay in Tutor

    Enrolment, prerequisites and certificates are unchanged; the DynTube player only changes where the lesson video is served from.

Questions

Tutor LMS video hosting questions

Which Tutor LMS video source should I pick for DynTube?

Choose Embedded and paste the DynTube embed code. The Shortcode source is for video plugins that register a WordPress shortcode, and DynTube does not publish one. The player then renders in the lesson’s video area like any embedded source.

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.
