How do I add a button to my video?

Once you've added a video to Mindstamp, either by uploading a direct file or linking to a third party platform like Vimeo, Wistia or Kaltura, you can begin to add Interactions including buttons, questions, hotspots and more.

To add a button, simply click the 'Add Button' control underneath the video which looks like the 'click' action for a website.



The button will appear on your video and you will then be able to configure the button using the following controls:

  • Show Time: Determines when the button begins to display on your video.
  • Hide Time: Determines when the button disappears.
  • Button Content: Type what you want the button to say.
  • Button Font Size: Click to increase or decrease the size of the button text.
  • Button Click Action: What happens when a viewer clicks the button. This can open a website link, display a message, open an image, change the time in the video and more.
  • Action Value: Depending on the click action, you populate the appropriate content. So if the button is opening a link, you provide the website URL in this field.Finally, on the screen of your video you can grab the button, move it around and resize it.
