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. ### Which Colossyan plan do I need? 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. ### Colossyan already has quizzes. When does Mindstamp fit? 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. ### Does Colossyan still track the video after I upload it? 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. ### Can I keep the Colossyan quiz and add Mindstamp hotspots? 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. ### Can I put the interactive Colossyan video in my LMS? 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.
