Using Presto Player With LifterLMS

Presto Player provides integration for the LifterLMS plugin. Thus, if you have online courses built with LifterLMS this article is helpful for you. 

Since videos help students to understand the course better, it’s a good idea to include them in your courses. Thus, when you’re building your courses with LifterLMS, you might need to add quite a number of videos. 

Certainly, LifterLMS comes with video support by default. However, there is a number of benefits when you use Presto Player instead:

• Add chapters for your video (Pro feature), so students can directly jump on part of video they are interested in;
• You can manage video settings like autoplay, play inline, set poster image and enable preview;
• Next, with Presto Player you can use default video configuration presets, or you can add your own;
• Adjust the play button color and overlay color for the video player to your branding (Pro feature); 
• Track analytics for Presto Player videos (Pro feature) just like you do for videos added with LifterLMS.
