AI video integration
Export a version without Colossyan interactions as an MP4, then upload it to Mindstamp or paste a public MP4 address into Link. Mindstamp plays the upload in its own player and records each learner’s answers, with a name from lead capture even when the learner has no Colossyan account.
Colossyan video in Mindstamp
| Option | Where in Colossyan | What stays in Colossyan | What Mindstamp adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upload the MP4 | Download a version with no Colossyan interactions as an MP4. Colossyan lists unlimited MP4 downloads and watermark removal on Professional. It does not say whether the free Starter plan can download. | Colossyan keeps the original. Mindstamp plays a separate copy. | Interactions, a transcript, and named reports with lead capture. |
| Direct MP4 link | A public .mp4 address, pasted into Link. Colossyan’s API returns a public file URL on plans with API access. | The file and its hosting. Learners stream it from that address. | The same interactions and reports. Mindstamp does not copy the file. |
| Colossyan interactive video or SCORM | Questions, branching, and buttons in the Colossyan editor on every plan. SCORM export on paid plans, though Colossyan’s pages differ on which. | Everything. An interactive video plays only through a Colossyan link, embed, or SCORM package. | Nothing. Use this route when Colossyan’s own quiz does the job. |

Questions
Colossyan builds multiple-choice questions and branching into its editor on every plan. To use Mindstamp instead, export a version of the video without Colossyan interactions as an MP4, upload it under New video > Upload, and add questions and hotspots in the Mindstamp editor.
Every Colossyan plan makes interactive videos: 10 a month on the free Starter plan, 15 on Professional, and unlimited on Enterprise. The Mindstamp route needs an MP4. Colossyan lists unlimited MP4 downloads and watermark removal on Professional. It does not say whether the free Starter plan can download. On SCORM, Colossyan’s pages differ: its help center lists 5 packages a month on Professional and unlimited on Enterprise, while its SCORM page names Enterprise plans.
If Colossyan’s questions and branching do the job, you may not need Mindstamp. Mindstamp fits when you need named results for learners who open a link or embed without a Colossyan account, or answers by learner without a Colossyan Enterprise plan.
Not the exported file. Colossyan’s help center says its video analytics do not cover exported MP4 files. Once you upload the MP4, Mindstamp hosts the copy and records each view and answer, and it sends nothing back to Colossyan.
Not in the same video. Colossyan says you can only embed or share an interactive video by link, and you cannot export it as MP4, so Mindstamp never receives the interactive version. Choose one tool for the interactions in each video.
Yes. Mindstamp Core and higher plans export a SCORM package from the Share page, which you upload to the LMS. You can also embed the player in a lesson. Colossyan’s own SCORM package can carry Colossyan interactions instead. See interactive video in your LMS and SCORM export.
