Move through the video

Video navigation controls.

Pause, skip, rewind, or jump to another video when an answer, condition, or viewer action calls for it.

Works on the video you already have. No re-encoding.

What it does

Playback as something you control

Control the play head so viewers can skip, review, or move to a relevant section.

Automatic movement

Pause on a question, skip a section, or jump to a different video when a condition is met.

Variables track progress

Mark what a viewer has seen and use it to decide what they see next time.

Viewer-led where it helps

Give viewers their own controls to move around when exploration is the point.

In practice

Where navigation control matters

Long content, repeat viewers, and anything with prerequisites.

  • Skipping the introduction for returning learners
  • Enforcing order in a module with prerequisites
  • Jumping to a different video when an answer calls for it

What gets measured

Every use of it is reported

Reported per viewer
Each use of this interaction is recorded for the identified viewer.
Placed to the second
Attached to the timecode it sits on, so results map to the moment that produced them.
On video you already have
The interaction sits on the existing file. The source video stays unchanged.

Questions

What teams ask about navigation

Can I stop viewers skipping ahead?

Yes. Seeking can be disabled so a module cannot be completed by dragging the scrubber.

Can navigation depend on earlier answers?

Yes. Combine navigation with conditional logic and variables.

Try it on one video

Take control of the playhead

Make one video skip what a returning viewer already watched.
