Course Player

The Course Player tab of the MS LMS Settings will set up how students will see and learn courses on LMS. It has the following settings:

WP Dashboard > MS LMS > Settings > Course Player

Default Theme

Select the appearance of the course player by choosing between light and dark themes. This defines the overall look and feel of the player.

Light

Dark

Students can change the mode anytime in their Course Player.

NOTE

If you have made changes in the lesson text color, these changes may display incorrectly when changing to dark mode.

Assigning a custom Text Color will display the text in that color regardless of the Course Player Mode (Dark or Light). If you copy text with a custom black text color, it appears black regardless of the mode, causing visibility issues in dark mode. The same applies to text with white colors.

Therefore, be cautious when working with white and black colors. When copying text from another website or document, ensure you Clear Formatting first in Course Builder Editor.

Use Theme Fonts

Enable this option to apply the fonts from your website’s theme to the lesson page. Disabling it allows the use of custom fonts of MasterStudy LMS.

Lesson Q&A Management

Users can leave comments on each lesson by clicking +Comment or Reply buttons.

Note that, there is no moderation for comments in the discussion board. They will directly be published.

Each lesson has its own dedicated discussion board, ensuring that discussions for one lesson are not visible in others.

Once a student leaves a comment, the instructor will be notified via email. By default, it will be enabled, but the admin can manage it in Email Manager.

Use MasterStudy Player for Videos from YouTube & Vimeo

When adding video lessons from YouTube or Vimeo to your courses in MasterStudy LMS, the default settings include clickable icons that link to the original video sources. Removing these icons helps keep the video within the educational context of the course and discourages content sharing.
