The Video Time product family is a set of plugins to integrate videos from Vimeo and Youtube into moodle. In addition, teachers can add videos directly in the activity as files or use a link to the video file. The base activity is free to use and makes embedding videos into moodle super easy.

The pro add-on provides a lot of features like tracking, resume, in-activity, app support, privacy support, next activity and many more.

Premium (formerly: Business) connects moodle to Vimeo, allowing the teacher to simply choose the video from within moodle.

Video Time 1.8 supports videos hosted on Youtube and Vimeo. Teachers can also upload a video or audio file directly into the Video Time activity.

Potential privacy issues

Video Time makes viewing videos hosted on external platforms easier. There are no reports on participants activities in the free version, except for the usual log entries. However, Vimeo and Youtube are external services, which might collect user data.

    Hi Ezzeddin,

    my best guess (without having access to the mp4) is that the mp4 file you used uses a codec that is not supported by your browser. Or maybe the file is simply corrupt.

    Even if the file plays back fine on your computer, that does not mean that the file is ok. Your computer/the application might simply be clever enough to play it back even if it's (partially) broken.

    With regards to the right mouse click menu:
    Sure, that is theoretically possible. But you should be aware though that it is not possible to really prevent that a video (file) is downloaded. You can make it a little harder though. Get in touch privately if you are interested to fund such a feature.

    Hi Stephan,

    Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

    What first I tried is to play the video in the browser to know the if it has an issue with the browser, it played well without any issues.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Hi Ezzeddin,

    that's interesting. We use Video JS to playback videos. That's the same player that Moodle itself uses. It might be worth trying if Moodle itself can play it back using the built in player.

    Except for that, you can check your browser's console and check fi there are any errors. If you are able to share the video (and if it is not large), feel free to create a test course on one of our demo sites and send me the link — then I can have a look.

    Hi Stephan,

    The default player in Moodle is working fine with any issues.

    @ramy, sorry to hear that you have issues. We don’t use the eTask topics format ourselves and cannot guarantee that it is compatible. In order to rule out that video time itself has issues, try it with the topics format. If the error happens there, too, then please open an issue on GitHub and I’ll ask my developer to look into it. Feel free to raus an issue in GitHub for eTask as well, but I cannot guarantee that we can fix it on our side. If you do, please provide exact information about the versions you use (video time, moodle, format) so that we can reproduce it.

    Hi Stefan,
    I hope you doing well. Is there any progress about YouTube integration?
  • Stefan Scholz

    Hi Mustafa,

    sure, youtube support was added in Video Time 1.7 — along with support for audio files, video files and externally hosted files (including e.g. dash links).

    See https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_videotime/1.7-r5/29199

    I just noticed that with a recent VideoTime update, the notes section is now no longer displayed under the video on all my courses.

    The content is still shown in the edit settings but just not rendered.

    The moodle versions we are using on one site are:

    Moodle 3.11.12+ (Build: 20230303)
    VideoTime version: 1.7, 2023011202


    We have a couple of other sites with different moodle versions that are now behaving the same way.

    Hi, I have just installed the 1.8 RC version on my 4.0 Moodle, but the YouTube feature seems not to be there. Am I missing something in the settings? Thanks for your help!

    If this worked with Panopto, it would be chef's kiss!

    Hi. I recently upgrade to the last version of this plugin and Youtube links are broken, I can't add new links, but my old links works fine. I left a message in github issues.

    Hi team,

    I am interested in the paid version of this plug in due to it's completion tracking capabilities, are you able to provide a video demonstration or similar on it's front and back end capabilities so I can make a bit of an informed decision before I proceed
