Have a bit of an issue on my plate. My clients LMS only supports SCORM packages of 500MB. We have a course that is 720MB. We reduced the size of the images, videos,documents and got our zip file down to 580MB.

What else can we do get this size down, would appreciate and suggestions?

Hi Ada,

If your SCORM package ends up larger than your LMS allows, there are a few simple ways to trim it down without losing quality. Below are some practical steps you can take to reduce your course size and keep it under the 500MB limit.

**Tips to Reduce SCORM Package Size in Compozer**

If your exported SCORM package exceeds your LMS’s file size limit, here’s how to safely bring it down:

1. **Check Your Media Files**

2. **Compress Images and Documents**

3. **Optimize Videos**

4. **Split Large Courses**

**Note:** Only media that’s actually inserted into blocks is included in the export. Unused files in your Compozer Library **do not** get packaged. This is just a heads-up in case anyone thinks otherwise.

Our biggest issues were the videos. We ended up hosting all of them on Wistia. Makes a massive difference on reducing the file size.

Is there a big difference with Wistia and YouTube, Vimeo? I’ve never heard of it before.

We found that with Wistia you get cleaner playback, no ads, no suggested videos and much stronger analytics. Just gives you far more control and also allows you to change the color of the controls.
