Ignite + MediaTime:
your video library,
inside Moodle.

MediaTime by BDcent brings a professional video library into your Moodle platform. Upload, organize, and embed videos without ever leaving Moodle. Ignite handles encoding, streaming, and subtitles in the background.

Video in Moodle today: scattered, manual, hard to scale.

Without a central library, every video is an island. Course creators copy embed codes from an external platform, paste them one by one, manage versions manually. When a video gets updated, someone needs to find every instance. When a new team member joins, there is no way to browse what already exists. At scale, this becomes unmanageable.

One library. Every course. Always in sync.Ignite & MediaTime for Moodle

MediaTime creates a centralized media repository inside Moodle, organized on three levels:

  • site-wide (shared across the entire platform),
  • by category (for departments or faculties),
  • and per course (for local content).

Course creators browse the video library within Moodle, select a video, and embed it. No embed codes. No tab-switching. No duplicates.

  • Upload videos directly from Moodle

    Course creators upload videos through the MediaTime interface inside Moodle. The file goes straight to Ignite for encoding and hosting. No separate dashboard, no extra login.

  • Browse and embed without leaving Moodle

    Select videos from the MediaTime library directly within Moodle. No embed codes, no tab-switching.

  • Three-level library: site, category, course

    Organize videos where they belong. Share a compliance training library across the entire platform. Keep department-specific content in category libraries. Add course-specific recordings at the course level.

  • Reuse without duplicates

    One video in the library can appear in dozens of courses. Update the poster or subtitles once, the change applies everywhere.

When watching becomes a gradable activity.Combine MediaTime with VideoTime.

MediaTime manages the library. VideoTime turns videos into trackable course activities. Together with Ignite, you get the full chain: hosting, library, and learning analytics.

  • Completion thresholds:

    Completion Threshold

    80% watched? Mark as complete. Set a minimum watch percentage before the activity counts as completed. Essential for certification and compliance training.

  • Resume playback:

    Resume Playback

    Learners pick up where they left off.

    No rewinding, no guessing. The video starts exactly where they stopped.

  • Fast-forward blocking:

    Fast Forward Blocking

    No skipping ahead on compliance content.

    For content where every second matters, prevent learners from jumping to the end.

  • Gradebook integration: .

    Watch progress feeds directly into Moodle

    Results appear in reports and the gradebook like any other Moodle activity.

  • Interactive transcripts and chapters:

    Click a sentence, jump to the moment.

    VideoTime Pro shows a synchronized transcript alongside the video. Chapters provide structured navigation through longer content.

  • Tracking stays in Moodle:

    Tracking Stays in Moodle

    Ignite streams. Moodle records. Nothing leaves your LMS.

    The separation is by design: Ignite has no access to learner data. Your DPO will appreciate that.

How it worksUpload, organize, stream. All from Moodle.

Install MediaTime from the Moodle Plugin Directory, connect your Ignite account, and your team is ready to go. No migration project, no external training, no new interface to learn.

The integration combines three specialized tools, each handling what it does best. Together, they give you a complete video infrastructure that works entirely from within Moodle.

All three are developed in Europe. Ignite and BDcent work together directly on the integration: same time zone, same privacy standards, same focus on the European education market.
