How do I add a Mindstamp video to Absorb LMS?

1. In Mindstamp, publish the video from its Share page if it is not published yet.
2. Under Embed, choose Basic iframe and select Copy embed code. Copy only the address inside src. It starts with https.
3. In the Absorb course syllabus, select Add Learning Object, then Object.
4. Set Source to URL and paste the address.
5. For desktop and mobile, choose Launch in a modal (iFrame), then save.
6. Preview the course as a learner in a browser and in the Absorb Learning app.

Absorb blocks standard video page addresses inside its iframe, in desktop Safari, and in the Absorb Learning app. The address inside src in the Mindstamp code is an embed address.

Absorb marks an Object learning object complete when the learner opens it. It does not record a score.

Absorb lists SCORM 1.2 and 2004 with a single SCO. It also says external content URLs inside SCORM packages are not officially supported. The Mindstamp package loads the hosted video, so it may not launch or track in Absorb.

• Download a SCORM 1.2 package from the Mindstamp Share page, with a Completion Checkpoint of 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 95 or 100 percent. This needs a Core plan or higher.
• Upload it as a SCORM learning object and turn on Lesson contains assessment.
• Run it as a test learner. If it does not track, use the Object learning object.

If you set Allowed embed domains in Mindstamp, add your Absorb portal domain to the list. Otherwise learners see “Video not available: Code 617”. See restrict embed domains.

The embed does not receive the learner’s Absorb account. To see names in Mindstamp reports, add lead capture to the video so learners enter their name and email. See viewer identity and anonymous viewers.
