Kodezen Player plays every lesson video in Academy LMS. It replaces the old Academy Player, tracks how much of a video each student watched, and can require a minimum amount of watching before a lesson counts as complete. The Text Reader reads lesson text aloud.
Kodezen Player is always on. There is nothing to activate.
Where the settings are
Go to Academy LMS → Settings → Pages → Learn Page. This tab controls playback.
The learn page’s look (colors, sidebar, top bar) is in Academy LMS → Customize → Learn Page, with a live preview.
Playback settings
Make students watch the video
Three settings work together:
For embeds the player can’t track (Wistia, Vidyard, Twitch, SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Facebook, Kaltura), use Minimum Watch Time for Embedded Videos. The lesson can be completed only after the page has stayed open for that many seconds. Use 0 to turn it off.
This timer counts how long the page was open, not actual playback.

Text Reader {#text-reader}
Turn on Enable Text Reader to add a Listen button above lesson text. It uses the browser’s built-in voice and is free.

Troubleshooting
Prevent Video Skipping is on, but students can still skip. Set a Video Completion Threshold above Off. Academy LMS shows a warning on the settings page when this is missing.
