# How do I add a call to action at the end of a video?

Topic: [Interactions and logic](https://mindstamp.com/help/interactions) · Updated: 2026-09-25

## Short answer

Open **End Screen** in the video menu and pick an option under **When the video ends**, such as **Show Button: Open Link**. Add a **Message** and **Button text**, then add the link. To keep your own buttons on screen instead, set their **Hide** time to the end and choose **None: Pause on Last Frame**.

## Steps

1. Open the video and select **End Screen** in the video menu.
2. Under **When the video ends**, choose an option.
3. Fill in the **Message**, the **Button text**, and the value the option asks for, such as a **Link**, a **Video**, a **Time**, an **Email**, a **Phone** number or a **File**.
4. Click **Design** to change how the end screen looks.
5. Changes save automatically. Click **Preview end screen** to check the result.
6. Watch the video to the end from the share link in a private browser window and click the button.

_Open When the video ends to choose an end screen, for example Replay Video (Automatic) or Show Button: Open Link._

## End Screen options

- **None: Pause on Last Frame**: the video stops on its last frame with no overlay.
- **Show Custom Screen**: you build the end screen with your own buttons, text and images.
- **Show Button**: a message and one button that runs **Switch Video**, **Switch to Previous Video**, **Open Link**, **Change Video Time**, **Start Email**, **Start Call** or **Download File**.
- **Show Viewer Results**: a message and the viewer’s score.
- **Replay Video (Automatic)**, **Switch Video (Automatic)**, **Switch to Previous Video (Automatic)** and **Redirect to Link (Automatic)**: the action runs with no click.

## Build a custom end screen

Choose **Show Custom Screen** to add interactions that show only after the video ends. Use it for two or three next steps, such as “Book a demo”, “Watch the next lesson” and “Download the guide”.

## Use buttons in the last seconds

You can also add a button a few seconds before the end, set its **Hide** time to **End**, and choose **None: Pause on Last Frame**. The button stays on the frozen last frame and viewers can still click it. See [pause on the last frame](https://mindstamp.com/help/pause-video-on-last-frame).

## Automatic actions and testing

**Redirect to Link (Automatic)** sends every viewer to the page. Tell viewers before it happens. When you play the video as its owner, Mindstamp skips automatic end actions, so test them from the share link in a private browser window.

## Reuse an end screen

Click **Copy from…** in the End Screen panel to import the end screen from another video.
