If the instructor uses a Learning Management System(LMS), students do not need a username or password to access the videos. They just need to click on the link to access the video lesson.

So how do students access the video lessons?

If an LMS isn't used, the instructor can decide if students have to make an account with a username and password, or if they want students to access the video lesson by link only.
