Case Study

LearnDash WebCam Recording

Overview

The project involves the implementation of VideoJS Record functionality within the LearnDash Topics section, enabling users to record webcam videos directly on the platform. The initial milestone focuses on integrating recording capabilities and providing a “View” option for replaying recorded content. Subsequent milestones include features such as saving recordings, sharing within the site, storing videos on AWS S3, and displaying a list of video reviews. Additionally, email notifications for peers and interactive elements like comments and likes will enhance user engagement. While video transcoding (watermarking) isn’t feasible on user devices, third-party solutions may be considered for this functionality.
