Vidyard

Vidyard combines video hosting with detailed viewer analytics that track exactly when students pause, rewatch, or skip sections of your content. The customizable player lets you add branding, CTAs, and form overlays without touching code, and integrations with email platforms automatically notify you when someone watches. Heatmaps show which moments hold attention and which lose viewers, giving you data to improve your teaching.

Works well for business training, corporate onboarding, and instructors who want quantitative proof of student engagement. The engagement metrics feel particularly useful if you're A/B testing different explanations or measuring course effectiveness, though it's less focused on payment or content protection than some alternatives.
