Videos are an excellent tool for making things interesting and keeping people engaged. Now you can add a video block to your course with just a few keystrokes.
Here’s how it works:
Add video - You can add a video in two ways: type /video directly in the editor, or select the video card. Once you've selected one of these options, you can either drag and drop a video file into the block or upload a file from your computer.
Subtitles - Video transcription is automatically generated when you upload a video that contains speech. To enable closed captions, click the CC button in the video player controls. Select your preferred language from the available options.
Edit and adjust - Edit the width of the video block by hovering over the block. Select the appropriate width in the pop-up menu.
Embed - You can embed videos from 3rd party services such as YouTube, Vimeo, or OneDrive if you have requirements on hosting or specific functionality. To do this, type /embed and paste the direct link to the video. No embedding code is required. Read more here.
Mandatory video blocks - Setting a video block to mandatory means that the learner will have to watch the entire video before moving onto the next card. When a video is marked as mandatory, learners can't skip ahead or fast-forward through the content.
Formats - Mp4 is the only supported format playable on all modern browsers without conversion. The file size limit is 8GB. Please let your customer success manager know if you need to increase the limit. All videos are hosted by Sana.
Tip: Mov-files are very similar to mp4 and can usually be changed to an mp4 by simply changing the filename from "my_video.mov" to my_video.mp4". For other file formats you will have to convert to mp4 using a third-party tool, like HandBreak.
