About this plugin
Watermark For Tutor LMS is a video protection plugin built specifically for course creators using Tutor LMS. It overlays a customizable logo and/or text watermark on every video your students watch — lesson videos, course intro videos, or both — giving your content a professional, protected look while deterring piracy.
If you sell courses, you already know the risk: paid video lessons get screen-recorded and shared outside your platform. Hosted players such as YouTube, Vimeo, self-hosted HTML5, and external URLs cannot have a watermark physically encoded into the video stream from WordPress — the file itself would need to be re-encoded on a server.
This plugin takes a faster, lighter approach: it draws a non-interactive watermark overlay directly on top of the player in the browser, so students keep full access to playback controls while your content stays traceable and harder to crop out of frame.
