Add Synthesia videos to Learn365 and Content365 Authoring courses

Introduction

You can add Synthesia videos to Learn365 and Content365 Authoring courses.

If your organization uses the Synthesia Enterprise plan, you can export videos as SCORM packages and upload them to Learn365 to enable full completion tracking. The completion criteria set in Synthesia is applied in Learn365, and all video elements, such as translations and chapters, are included.

You can also add Synthesia videos to Learn365 and Content365 Authoring courses using an embed code. This enables you to include interactive, AI-generated video content directly in your courses. If the video is later updated in Synthesia, the latest version is automatically reflected in your course. Depending on your settings, learners can watch the video in the Learn365 player or open it in a new tab.
