Hello, which videos, if any, are interactive? I am looking into ways to improve audience engagement. Could you suggest interactive video platforms or formats that improve user engagement and involvement with the content? Any recommendation will be appreciated? Thanks

As someone who has extensively researched interactive videos, I can confidently say that Vimeo is a great example of an interactive video platform. Vimeo created an interactive video that showcases their interactive video features in an intuitive yet engaging way. The video starts with a clickable menu on the top left corner, allowing viewers to interact with the video as they see fit. Using on-screen elements and text animation, Vimeo reveals individual interactive features along the way, making the viewing experience more engaging and educational. This interactive video not only demonstrates Vimeo’s capabilities but also helps viewers explore interactive content in much more depth. By balancing features with demonstrations, Vimeo keeps viewers engaged while also providing a comprehensive education on their interactive platform. This interactive video is a perfect representation of how interactive content can enhance the learning experience and make it more enjoyable for viewers.
Hello Alex, Shoppable Videos: Interactive videos can make that happen. For example, while watching a product review, you might notice clickable hotspots on the screen. These allow you to learn more about the product or even purchase it directly from the video.
Unless the phasing out is due to cost, I wouldn’t recommend moving away from Storyline. It’s the best tool, alongside Captivate, for building branching scenarios and quizzes. Overall, Storyline is much better than Captivate and has better support.
I actually use all three items you mentioned in my role: Camtasia to produce videos, Vimeo to host the videos, and Storyline to link to the videos with software simulations and quizzes. Each tool has its unique strengths and they complement each other well.
