Automatic movement
Pause on a question, skip a section, or jump to a different video when a condition is met.
Move through the video
Video navigation controls.
Pause, skip, rewind, or jump to another video when an answer, condition, or viewer action calls for it.
What it does
Playback as something you control
Control the play head so viewers can skip, review, or move to a relevant section.
Variables track progress
Mark what a viewer has seen and use it to decide what they see next time.
Viewer-led where it helps
Give viewers their own controls to move around when exploration is the point.
In practice
Where navigation control matters
Long content, repeat viewers, and anything with prerequisites.
- Skipping the introduction for returning learners
- Enforcing order in a module with prerequisites
- Jumping to a different video when an answer calls for it
What gets reported
The path each viewer took
Every interaction on the timeline is recorded against the viewer who used it.

What teams add next
These combine on one timeline. Most videos use three or four together.
Chapters
Break a recording into named, searchable chapters so viewers can see the structure and jump straight to a section.
Conditional logic
Show, hide, and reroute interactions based on what the viewer answered, clicked, or brought with them from your data.
Transcripts
Generate a transcript that viewers can read, search, and click to jump to the exact moment a phrase was said.
Buttons
Add clickable buttons that open links, jump the timeline, capture a lead, or start a branch at any moment you choose.
Call to action
Place a clear call to action at the moment the video gives the viewer a reason to act.
Comments
Overlay timed comments on the recording to add context, corrections, or commentary without touching the footage.
Questions
What teams ask about navigation
Can I stop viewers skipping ahead?
Yes. Seeking can be disabled so a module cannot be completed by dragging the scrubber.
Can navigation depend on earlier answers?
Yes. Combine navigation with conditional logic and variables.
