Device limits for online courses: how many devices to allow
Two devices per student, one playing at a time, with a few controlled device changes, suits most coaching courses. Here's how to tune it by course type without locking out honest students.
How to price an online coaching course in India, with examples
Anchor the price to your classroom fee, tie validity to the exam, offer your own instalments, put the GST-inclusive price on the poster, and stop shared logins before cutting the price.
Password-protected video hosting: why it isn't enough for paid courses
Password-protected video checks that a viewer knows a password, not that they paid. One shared password travels by WhatsApp, can't be revoked per student and leaves no trace.
How to set up Zoom for online classes in a coaching institute
Turn on a waiting room, tie sign-in to registration, make screen sharing host-only, block private chat and keep recording for yourself. None of it stops a paying student recording the class.
Password sharing on OTT apps: how to detect and limit it
Password sharing on an OTT app shows up in usage: too many streams, devices that never share a network, impossible viewing hours. Limit it with clear rules, checks and a paid route.
How much is piracy costing your institute? A simple way to estimate it
Multiply leak viewers by the share who would have paid and your net fee, then add lost renewals, discounts and response costs. Work out a low and a high estimate, not one number.
DRM downloaders like StreamFab, and what they mean for course videos
Yes, DRM-protected videos can be downloaded: tools like StreamFab openly advertise DRM removal, for computers and phones. Plan for the copy that gets out, and make it traceable to the account it came from.
How to prevent students sharing coaching accounts

Why coaching videos leak even from a secure app
Most leaks go around a secure app rather than through it: shared logins, phone cameras, weaker devices, PDFs, side doors and insiders. Here is the control for each path.
I use DRM but my coaching videos still leak: why, and what stops it
If videos leak despite DRM, the leak is going around it: a phone camera, screen recording, a shared login, a side door or an insider. Diagnose the route from the copy, then add the missing layer.
Why DRM alone can't stop piracy
DRM protects video on its way to the screen, not after it. The leak routes it leaves open, from phone cameras and shared logins to weak devices, PDFs and insiders.
