Directly Upload Video Files

Directly Upload Video Files

OVERVIEW

Video creates high engagement with students and is a powerful tool to use in your Pluto LMS courses. Video files can be directly uploaded to your LMS. To optimize your site performance we highly recommend using YouTube or Vimeo to host your video content. This will also save storage on your LMS plan. 
Use Case Example:

As a training manager, you can leverage the power of video to create high levels of student engagement and enhance the effectiveness of your training programs. 

For example: You have created or edited a product demonstration video on Canva but have saved it on your personal laptop and would like to present it to your end users. This tool seamlessly enables you to upload the file directly to the LMS, without using an external video processing platform. This can also be used to showcase best practices or provide instructional content.

This tool empowers you to create a rich multimedia learning experience for your employees, resulting in improved knowledge retention and enhanced performance within your organization.
