How do I use clickable buttons in a video?
Add a clickable button to a Mindstamp video, choose what happens on click, and track the result.
Short answer
Place a Button interaction on the timeline, write a clear action label, choose its duration and position, and assign the click action. A button can open a link, jump to another time, switch videos, show a message, capture a lead, set a variable, and more.
How to do it
- Move the playhead to the moment the button should appear and add a Button interaction.
- Write a label that names the result, such as “See pricing” or “Choose this path.”
- Set its position, start time, and duration, leaving enough time for a viewer to notice and act.
- Choose the click action and configure its destination or value.
- Preview the click, keyboard focus, mobile layout, destination, and reporting event.
Match the action to the viewer’s intent
Use Open Link for an external destination, Change Time for a choice within one video, Switch Video for branching, and Set Variable when the click should personalize what follows.
Make the button understandable without context
Avoid generic labels such as “Submit” or “Click here.” A specific label improves comprehension, accessibility, and the usefulness of click reports.
