Frequently Asked Questions about Interactive Videos

Interactive videos are a powerful way to engage your audience by inviting them to actively participate in your content. Unlike traditional passive viewing, interactive videos allow viewers to interact through quizzes, buttons, clickable links, and even personalized branching storylines. If you're curious about creating these engaging experiences but don't know where to start, this article addresses some of the most frequently asked questions about making interactive videos.

How do I create an interactive video?

Creating interactive videos involves adding clickable elements like buttons, quizzes, or links directly into your video. You typically use specialized interactive video software such as Sharelo, VideoAsk, or Adobe Captivate.

What are the steps to make a video interactive?

• Choose an interactive video platform.
• Upload or select the video you want to make interactive.
• Add interactive elements such as quizzes, buttons, clickable links, or polls.
• Set conditions or branching paths if needed.
• Publish or embed the interactive video on your website or platform.

Do I need coding or technical skills to create interactive videos?

No, most modern interactive video platforms are user-friendly and do not require coding or advanced technical skills. Drag-and-drop interfaces allow you to easily add interactive elements.

What types of interactive elements can I add to a video?

You can include:

• Quizzes and polls
• Clickable buttons
• Branching scenarios ("choose your own adventure" paths)
• Clickable links
• Surveys and forms
• Embedded product catalogs or e-commerce links

Can I turn my existing videos into interactive videos?

Absolutely! You can upload your current videos to interactive video software and enhance them by adding interactive components without needing to create new content from scratch.

How can I add quiz questions or polls inside a video?

Most interactive video tools offer built-in quiz and poll creation. After uploading your video, select where in the video you'd like to add your quiz or poll, input your questions and answers, and publish the changes.

How can I create a "choose your own adventure" style interactive video with branching paths?

Branching paths are set by creating decision points in your video. At specific points, viewers choose options that lead them down different video segments. Interactive video platforms provide easy-to-use tools to visually set up and preview branching scenarios.

Is it difficult or time-consuming to create interactive videos?

Interactive video creation can be straightforward and quick, especially with beginner-friendly tools. The complexity of your project determines the time required—simple quizzes take minutes, while elaborate branching scenarios may take longer.

How much does it cost to produce an interactive video?

Costs vary depending on the software platform, length and complexity of the interactive elements, and any professional services you may use. Platforms often offer free tiers, with premium options starting from around $20 per month.

Can beginners without video editing experience make interactive videos?

Yes! Interactive video tools like Sharelo are specifically designed to be beginner-friendly, allowing anyone to create engaging interactive content with little to no prior video editing experience.
