Interactive video in Adobe Captivate

A Captivate Web Object shows the Mindstamp player on a slide from its address or Basic iframe code, and every graded question stays inside the video. Captivate’s published course reports only its own slide views and quiz, so the video score reaches your LMS through a separate Mindstamp SCORM package.

Set it up

Add the video to a Captivate slide

Web Object, Captivate 13.2

Paste the code in a Web Object

In Captivate Classic, the same object is under Objects, then Web. Paste the address in Address, or use the Embed code option.

  1. In Mindstamp, publish the video from its Share page.
  2. Under Embed, choose Basic iframe and copy the code. Adobe does not say whether script embeds run in a web object.
  3. In Captivate, select Add media blocks on the left toolbar, then Web Object.
  4. Select the placeholder. In the Content section, choose Embed code and paste the code. Set the iframe width and height to 100% so the player fills the block.
  5. Preview the slide, then publish and test the course in your LMS on a computer, a tablet, and a phone.

SCORM, next to the course

Upload the package to your LMS

The Mindstamp package is a second upload beside the Captivate course, and the Captivate course does not receive its score.

  1. On the Mindstamp Share page, under Export, select Download SCORM package. This needs a Core plan or higher.
  2. In SCORM Version, choose a version your LMS lists.
  3. In Completion Checkpoint, choose 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 95 or 100 percent. The 80 and 85 percent options do not record completion.
  4. Upload the ZIP file to your LMS as its own course or item, next to the Captivate course. Do not unzip it.
  5. Enroll a test learner in both, play past the checkpoint, and check the score in the LMS.

Adobe Captivate and Mindstamp

Captivate video overlays take Knowledge Check slides

Built into Adobe Captivate

Captivate interactive video

  • Bookmarks on a slide video timeline that trigger an overlay slide, such as a multiple-choice question.
  • In Classic, overlays can be content slides or Knowledge Check slides, in HTML5 output only.
  • Adobe community answers say graded quiz slides do not appear in the overlay list, in Classic or in Captivate 12.5.
  • Course tracking by slide views, quiz result, or user access.

Added by Mindstamp

Graded questions inside the video

  • Scored questions at any moment, with the first answer counted toward the score.
  • A video score in your LMS from the separate Mindstamp SCORM package.
  • Branching and hotspots on the video, with no overlay slides to build.
  • Every learner’s answers in one Mindstamp report.

Known issues

Check these before you publish

Two web objects per slide
Captivate 13.2 allows at most two web objects on a slide. Give each Mindstamp video its own slide.
The web object is blank
Captivate needs https, and it cannot show sites that block framing. Paste the Mindstamp code as copied. Its address starts with https.
Classic web objects sit on top
In Captivate Classic, a web object always shows above other objects on the slide. Keep captions and buttons clear of it.
Video not available: Code 617
Your Mindstamp account limits embed domains. Add the LMS domain where the Captivate course runs.

Questions

Adobe Captivate interactive video FAQ

How do I put a Mindstamp video in an Adobe Captivate project?

Use a Web Object. In Captivate 13.2, it is under Add media blocks, and it takes a URL or embed code. In Captivate Classic, select Objects, then Web, and paste the address or an iframe. In both versions, use the Mindstamp Basic iframe code or the address inside it.

Can Captivate interactive video ask graded questions?

Adobe’s help shows a multiple-choice slide as an overlay at a bookmark. Classic help limits overlays to content slides and Knowledge Check slides, and Adobe community answers say graded quiz slides do not show in the overlay list. In Mindstamp, each question can have a correct answer that counts toward the score. That score reaches your LMS through the separate SCORM package.

Does the Captivate course record the Mindstamp score?

No. Adobe does not document tracking inside a web object, and Captivate reports its own slide views and quiz. The Mindstamp player sends nothing to the course around it. Upload the Mindstamp SCORM package to the LMS as its own item, and the LMS records completion and a score. See SCORM export.

Which standards does Captivate publish, and which does Mindstamp use?

Captivate publishes SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004, plus AICC and xAPI. Adobe does not list cmi5 and does not state the SCORM 2004 edition. Mindstamp exports SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 3rd and 4th editions, with no xAPI or cmi5. See xAPI and cmi5.

Should I use Captivate 13.2 or Captivate Classic?

Every Captivate subscription includes both, and Adobe gives no end date for Classic support. Both have a web object for the Mindstamp player. If your all-new Captivate shows no Web Object under Add media blocks, check the version: an Adobe community answer from December 2024 says 12.4 had none. The current version is 13.2.
