Hotspots, choices and polls in your videos

Interactive videos let viewers do more than watch. Add them from a video’s Interactions tab with Add interaction.

Hotspots

A hotspot is a clickable area of the picture, for a few seconds, without pausing the video. Drag on the thumbnail to draw where it goes, give it an optional label, and choose what a click does:

• Open a link, in a new tab or the same one;
• Go to a time in this video, for example to skip an intro;
• Play another video from your library.

Choices

A choice pauses the video with a question and two to four answers, so viewers pick their own path: Show me how it works jumps to 1:20, I’m an admin plays the admin video, and so on. Each answer can go to a time, play another video or open a link.

Polls

A poll pauses the video with a question and up to six answers. Each viewing counts one vote, and viewers see the results after they answer (you can switch that off). Votes never count as leads.

Playing another video

Hotspots and answers can only play videos from the same workspace. They play even if that video is private or limited to your own sites, because you chose to link to it, but its country limits still apply.

See what viewers chose

Each interaction on the Interactions tab shows its views and, for choices and polls, how many picked each answer.
