Optional depth
Interested viewers can open the detail while the main route stays short.
Extend it
Add media inside your video.
Play a short video or audio clip from within the main recording, so viewers can step out for detail and step back.
What it does
Depth without derailing the main thread
Some viewers want the two-minute aside. Most do not. Both should be served by one recording.
Record on the spot
Record clips directly in Mindstamp and add them to the timeline.
Returns to the main video
The viewer steps out and comes back without losing their place.
In practice
What to put in a step-out
Detail that would bloat the main recording.
- Deeper product explanation for the technically curious
- A customer testimonial dropped into a sales walkthrough
- Remedial explanation offered after a wrong answer
What gets reported
Every viewer is reported
Every interaction on the timeline is recorded against the viewer who used it.

What teams add next
These combine on one timeline. Most videos use three or four together.
Buttons
Add clickable buttons that open links, jump the timeline, capture a lead, or start a branch at any moment you choose.
Call to action
Place a clear call to action at the moment the video gives the viewer a reason to act.
Chapters
Break a recording into named, searchable chapters so viewers can see the structure and jump straight to a section.
Comments
Viewers add a comment at any moment in the video. Mindstamp saves each comment with its timecode in that viewer’s report.
Conditional logic
Show, hide, and reroute interactions based on what the viewer answered, clicked, or brought with them from your data.
Drawings
Circle a detail, mark it freehand, or add a text label. The video pauses on that frame with your drawing on top, so viewers look where you point.
