How do I make Synthesia videos interactive?
Synthesia has its own interactivity: buttons and branching on Pro or Enterprise, and quizzes on Enterprise. For Mindstamp, connect Synthesia with an API key on the New video page, or upload a downloaded MP4. Then add questions and branching in the editor, and Mindstamp records each learner’s answers.
Which Synthesia plan works with Mindstamp?
The Mindstamp connection uses a Synthesia API key. Synthesia lists API access on its Pro and Enterprise plans, so on other plans the connection likely fails. Then download the MP4 and upload it. Synthesia says Basic and trial accounts cannot download, so this route needs Starter or higher. The Synthesia source itself has no Mindstamp plan gate.
Does Synthesia list Mindstamp as an integration?
Yes. Synthesia’s docs have a Mindstamp setup page, and its integrations directory lists Mindstamp under Interactive & Engagement Video Tools.
Does Synthesia still record views and quiz results?
No, not for the Mindstamp copy. Synthesia keeps the original video and the project, and its quiz analytics cover videos published through Synthesia. Mindstamp streams its own copy, so views and answers on the interactive version go to Mindstamp reports. Mindstamp sends nothing back to Synthesia.
When should I use Synthesia’s own interactivity instead?
Use it when the course lives in Synthesia: buttons and branching come with Pro and Enterprise, and quizzes with a pass mark come with Enterprise. Mindstamp fits when you need questions on a Starter or Pro video, or learner names without SSO or Record Learner Identity.
What happens when I re-render the video in Synthesia?
Mindstamp copied the file at import, so its video does not change. Open the Mindstamp video, go to More, select Replace source video, and add the new render. Your questions and branches stay on the video, and learners keep the same link. The old transcript moves to the new file, so if the script changed, delete it and create a new one.
