How to Host Compliance Training Videos

The Problem

Regulated industries require employees to complete specific training modules and organizations need to prove it. YouTube has no completion tracking and no access control. Most LMS platforms store video as file attachments with no transcoding, adaptive streaming, or search capability. Enterprise video platforms like Panopto ($7,500/yr) and Kaltura (complex, opaque pricing) provide compliance features but are expensive and slow to deploy. The result is that compliance teams either overspend on enterprise tools or settle for inadequate tracking on consumer platforms.

What You Need

• Completion tracking that shows who finished each video and when
• Access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can view regulated content
• Auto-transcription so training content is searchable for audits and reference
• Adaptive streaming so training works on any device, including mobile in the field
• Affordable pricing that does not require enterprise procurement approval

How to Do It with host.video

Step 1: Upload training modules

Upload your compliance training videos in any format. Each video is auto-transcribed and auto-chaptered for navigable reference.

Step 2: Set access controls

Password-protect each module or use signed URLs to integrate with your existing identity provider. Domain locking ensures videos only play on authorized internal systems.

Step 3: Distribute to employees

Embed videos in your LMS, intranet, or internal wiki. Share direct links with password gates for specific teams or departments.

Step 4: Track and report completion

View completion rates, watch time, and engagement data per video. Export analytics data for compliance reporting and audit documentation.

Why This Matters

Compliance training is not optional — organizations face fines and liability when they cannot prove employees completed required modules. Completion tracking, access controls, and searchable transcripts turn video training from a checkbox exercise into auditable documentation. Doing this without an enterprise procurement process means compliance teams can move fast when regulations change.

Alternatives

Panopto is the enterprise L&D standard but starts at $7,500/yr with no self-serve option. Kaltura supports compliance workflows but is complex and expensive. Most LMS platforms host video poorly with no adaptive streaming or search. YouTube has no access control or completion tracking.
