Video is the Prodamus.XL section for storing your video materials. Here you can upload an unlimited number of videos, store them and use them in your training courses and websites. You also have access to detailed statistics of your videos: the number of views, duration, periods of views. Video materials include any video tutorials, recordings of online meetings, master classes, webinars, commercials, etc.
On the Prodamus.XL platform, we have created our own video player, so all video materials are maximally protected from copying and using by third parties. You yourself determine who will see this video, on which pages or sites. Each video has a program code with which you can embed a video on any web page (membership portal, website, social networks, etc.) and then track video analytics (number of views).
