How do I add clickable hotspots to a video?
Place an invisible or styled hotspot over part of a video and attach a tracked click action in Mindstamp.
Short answer
Add a Hotspot interaction, place it over the object or region viewers should select, set its timing, and attach the desired click action. Hotspots work best when the video itself makes the clickable area obvious; otherwise add a visible cue or label.
How to do it
- Pause on a frame where the target is clearly visible and add a Hotspot interaction.
- Resize and position the hotspot with enough tolerance for touch input.
- Set its start time and duration so it tracks the moving object or remains available long enough.
- Choose a click action such as Open Link, Change Time, Switch Video, Show Message, or Set Variable.
- Preview on a phone and verify the hit area, focus behavior, destination, and report entry.
Invisible does not mean undiscoverable
If the object does not naturally look actionable, use a border, pulse, instruction, or adjacent text. Do not make a hidden hotspot the only way a viewer can continue.
Track intent, not accidental taps
Keep hotspots from overlapping player controls or one another. A slightly smaller, deliberate target often produces cleaner reporting than a full-frame click area.
