What Is Interactive Video?
Interactive video is video that lets viewers do something inside the player, such as answer a question, click a choice, or fill in a form.
Interactive Video
Interactive video turns watching into taking part. Instead of only playing start to finish, it can pause for a quiz, branch based on a choice, or collect a response without the viewer leaving the video.
Where you want a viewer to act rather than just watch, this is the format that asks them to.
For example, a training video pauses to ask a question before it moves to the next section.
