How to integrate video courses with Laravel??
I have a Laravel learning Management system hosted in a shared hosting platform, now I want to integrate watching courses on this platform. However, I don't want the videos on my platform. I want to host them elsewhere like a storage. Which platform would you recommend?? Note, the courses can only be available to authenticated users on my laravelapp, the videos can only be viewed on my application if and only if you login....
any recommendation

@AdeMike Correct. If you have an account, then try opening the video outside of a signed in session.. It wont work..

@Sanford59 Indeed I also used Vimeo on my hobby project. They have great API for uploading and configuring your videos on their platform and of course have it available on your domain via some js player.
Authentication problem meaning only authenticated uses on your system can watch them is on you. However you can set some privacy settings on Vimeo / via API such as videos being able to be embed only on certain domains etc, disable commenting share button comments and much more.
Here is the Vimeo API: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/reference
Also there is a great bridge library made for laravel: https://github.com/vimeo/laravel
