How do I embed a Mindstamp video in Thinkific?

Updated · 2 min read

Short answer

Publish the Mindstamp video and copy the address from its embed code. In Thinkific’s new course builder, select More, then Interactive or Web content, paste the address, and choose Embed. In the classic builder, add a Multimedia lesson, select Use externally hosted content, and paste the address. Preview as a learner before you publish the course.

  1. In Mindstamp, open the video, select Share, and publish it if needed.
  2. Under Embed, choose Basic iframe and select Copy embed code. Copy only the address inside `src="…"`. It starts with https.
  3. In Thinkific’s new builder, open the lesson, select More, and choose Interactive or Web content. In the classic builder, add a Multimedia lesson and select Use externally hosted content.
  4. Paste the address, then embed or save the lesson.
  5. Preview the lesson as a learner on a computer and a phone.
  6. Play the video, use each interaction, and check fullscreen.

Thinkific needs a secure address

Copy link to Thinkific needs a secure address

Thinkific shows external lesson content in an iframe inside its secure course player. The Mindstamp address must start with https, or the lesson can show a blank screen. Mobile browsers can also block media that plays by itself. If the lesson is blank on Android, turn off Autoplay (muted) on the Mindstamp Share page and copy the address again.

If your account restricts embed domains

Copy link to If your account restricts embed domains

If you set Allowed embed domains in Mindstamp, add your Thinkific school’s domain to the list. Otherwise learners see “Video not available: Code 617”. See restrict embed domains.

Know which learner watched

Copy link to Know which learner watched

The embed does not receive the learner’s Thinkific account. To see names in Mindstamp reports, add lead capture to the video so learners enter their name and email. See viewer identity and anonymous viewers.

An embed does not report completion to Thinkific

Copy link to An embed does not report completion to Thinkific

The embed places the interactive player in the lesson, and Mindstamp records the view in its own reports. It does not tell Thinkific that the learner finished. If the course must mark completion from the video, check whether your Thinkific setup accepts a SCORM package, and see SCORM export and LMS compatibility.
