## How to Create Video Lessons with VdoCipher?

{% hint style="info" %}
Only the **admin** can select the VdoCipher as a source type. Instructors will not have the VdoCipher option in the course builder as there is an admin API Key in the VdoCipher plugin.&#x20;

{% endhint %}

1. Edit any Course in [**Course Builder**](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/masterstudy-lms/lms-course-features/course-builder) and create a new [video lesson](https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/masterstudy-lms/lms-course-features/how-to-add-video-to-the-lesson). Select the VdoCipher as a source:

<figure><img src="https://691205473-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MDTL6WUldKvxQaP8jzz%2Fuploads%2FV8aiErg0S3L7VSAvBJEY%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7cb542ba-37c8-44a8-9cfb-de6fd2b4fdb6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. In the Videos tab of the [VdoCipher dashboard](https://www.vdocipher.com/dashboard) copy the **Video ID**:

3. Paste the copied **Video ID** to the designated area in the **Course Builder:**

<figure><img src="https://691205473-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MDTL6WUldKvxQaP8jzz%2Fuploads%2FABFrKbgh3CNAtR5Xgaa3%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8190acea-94d1-4e74-be0c-7f89d1fdbaff" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
